Hi all- Booking our first balcony cabin after many cruises and cruising my favorite itinerary of Western Carib (Roatan / Cozumel / Belize / Costa Maya). We always book an inside cabin so I have no clue if there's a "preferred" side of the ship to book a balcony cabin for this itinerary. Anyone have advice to share I'd sure appreciate it! We will be on deck 8 in a BF cabin if that matters at all. Thanks - Amy

Thank you both so much - very helpful and good tips. I looked up the forward balcony cabins like suggested with the Privasea hull cutout thing.... ugh! I'd have been very sad with that! I appreciate all the info and help!

Hi all - First cruise since 2020 and we're going to book Epic from Port Canaveral 1/21/24. We've only ever (happily) booked inside cabins before but given Free Grats and OBC offered by TA we're going to book a balcony. You don't know what you don't know .... and I know there's a LOT I don't know. Hoping y'all can help me. I read that some balconies are covered, some are not. Some partially. We'd want covered (or partially). Is one side of the ship balconies preferred over the other - if so ... which and why? We'd want a quiet location to enjoy balcony without pool music noise, etc. We're not sensitive to motion - so all the way forward is fine or anywhere else. Appreciate any words of advice you can share - Thanks so much - Amy
