That's a personal decision.

Can you afford to lose the money you're spending on the vacation if something were to happen? If no, buy trip insurance. If yes, continue on.

I don't think having a balcony is essential for Alaska. We had an ocean view cabin when we did Alaska and could still see some of the great sites from sitting inside the cabin looking out. Sure, it...
