1706 does have a shortened balcony on one side such that the lounger can't face straight out.  If that's concerning to you consider avoiding 1706-1710 and 1756-1762.       Despite the shortened balcony it's still a great cabin.     The most forward two L1's on both sides have window washing equipment that parks just in front of the cabin balcony.  It's not in your view looking straight out but it would be in your view if you look forward.
