Sky-Oceanview or Balcony

[kyla88]

Planning to book the Norwegian Sky and debating b/w an oceanview or balcony. It's about $100 difference between the two. Is the balcony significantly better? Also, I'm a bit concerned about seasickness and have read midship and lower is best. Lower is obviously not an option with a balcony. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

If you think you will have an issue with seasickness, I'd suggest playing it safe and getting a room lower/center.

 

Between Oceanview & Balcony, I suggest thinking out exactly what you will plan to use the room for. My decision was to use an Oceanview. My partner and I are not "homebodies" and would only use the room for sleeping/showering--as we would be around the boat or in port during the day. If we spent more time relaxing privately in our rooms, or if a balcony room opened up larger perks like NCL suites do, we'd go balcony--but that wasn't the case for us.

 

Oceanview it is!

I was very comfortable solo with an inside cabin on the Sky for a 3 night cruise, would've been fine for two.

 

However, next trip on the Getaway will be with three people for 7 nights. I needed space and no bed above my head so we'll have a balcony. My upgrade was more than $100, but I consider the features a need given length of trip and group size so I'll pay.
