3) Suntanning (Well, kinda)
This one can be tricky as it depends on your balcony’s actual design. Many cruise ships feature balconies that are partially covered or fully uncovered. This unique design practically creates a private suntanning area reserved just for you and your fellow cabin mates. Many of these “sunning” balconies may even feature full sun loungers depending on the stateroom’s design or category. Many “sunning” balconies aboard Princess’ Grand Class ship feature not only two sun loungers, but a table and chairs as well.

But is there smoking on the balconies on either side !???
Most cruise lines have banned smoking from all balconies citing both health and safety concerns.
Yes Mike, while that is a fact it doesn’t stop people from smoking on balconies. Did you ever hear of a rule that was not broken?
Actually, #4 is not a balcony but a Lanai Stateroom on Holland America that opens onto the Promenade deck. There is a lounge outside the slider but it is the least private stateroom because the deck is open to all passengers who walk past your stateroom.
Don’t worry, we understood and were only using the photo as it best conveyed the feeling of extra space for your stateroom.
