Family Balcony vs. Large Balcony on Getaway for 4 adults?

[marciemi]

Any input on the difference between them? Going with DH & I and our son and his GF (early 20's) and all squeezing in one cabin. Which would give the most space on either cabin or balcony size? Any other differences besides location on ship? Other suggestions?

Have you considered a family oceanview category 01? Much better sleeping arrangements for 4 adults - no balcony but most of the balconies on Getaway/Breakaway are very small.

Go with the B6 it will have a much larger balcony. The "family balcony" merely means it is closer to the kids clubs. Nothing more. It is not a larger cabin by any means. The room is identical to the B6 but has a balcony only about half the size of the B6.

Thanks - that's what we ended up doing. Booked a B6 yesterday. Appreciate the info on the family oceanview cabins (which I wasn't aware of) but we're just huge balcony fans. Actually aft balcony fans so giving that up (which our last 7 cruises or so have been) was enough of a tragedy :p for us so at least want a larger balcony on the side to make up for it (and hopefully make it feel like we have more space in the cabin as a whole).
