If my memory serves me right the balcony would be large enough for the two of you to party, but not many more. Call your TA she can get the square footage for you. Cabin is nice, more spacious than RCI, plus has small frig which is nice. Have a great cruise!

Balcony is about 38 sf. I use it mainly to sit and have a cup of tea in the morning and not wake my cabinmate... or better yet, for drying swimsuits.

No, rooms and balcony are not big enough to "party" in. Even the mini-suites were a bit cramped.

We were on Caribe and had a very large balcony compared to Aloha on the Sea Princess last year. I think Baja jutted out under us so it is big enough for 2 to stretch out but I do not think a major party would fit. Also if you like to dress for dinner you can in Personal Choice but we missed out on Personal service by not going into the traditional dinning rooms. People dressed better and they got a waiter show in table preperation and flaming desserts that were not in personal choice. Unfortunately passengers thought personal choice meant you could come in shorts and a tee shirt on formal nights and they were still seated. It took the joy of first class dining away from the trip.
