Need opinions from others who have done Alaska cruises... is it worth it to get a balcony vs an inside cabin? Are there things you can bundle up in a hurry to get out & see on the balcony that you might miss if you have to get dressed plus get bundled up to go out on deck if you are in an inside cabin? Does anyone know?

We are looking at doing a transatlantic next year, Harwich - Boston. Has anyone done this? What is the weather like on sea days? How rocky does the ship get on the many days at sea? Cabin selection - is it better to have an inside deck 2-3? Or is a balcony actually a nice idea?
