We had this cabin on our Alaska cruise in August 2002. It is unbelieveable. You have a "hallway" with a doorbell leading to the cabin door, a wall full of closets, a separate sitting area with an extra TV and DVD/VCR player, the sitting area can be closed off with sliding "shoji" doors, and then...the BALCONY! The balcony is larger than lots of cabins I have stayed in! A table with four chairs, two chaise lounges and room for eight of us to wander around and enjoy the view off the side and back. Absolutely the best! I like this better than the one right above it, because that way you don't have early morning coffee drinkers looking down on you and speculating how big the balcony is. If you can get it, go for it!
