Getaway Mini-suite vs. Balcony

Haven't cruised with NCL in years. What are the benefits for booking a mini-suite vs. a regular balcony? We will be on the Getaway.

There are zero added benefits as far as perks. A mini suite is not a suite, and the name is misleading. On Getaway, the rooms are basically identical, except the mini suite is a tiny bit longer, and the bathroom is larger and nicer. I do prefer the bathroom in the mini suites, and that's what I usually book, but it depends on price. What you get with the mini suite isn't worth hundreds more than a balcony.

On the Getaway class ships the difference between the two is less than the Jewel class. And the Sun minis are in a class of their own. As mentioned, the bathrooms are better and the cabin just slightly bigger. If you're going to do a mini on the Getaway, try for one of the deck 8 minis. They have a huge balcony.

the only noticeable difference is in teh bathroom, which is quite nice.

Thanks all !

The mini suite with a large balcony on deck 8 of the Getaway is much bigger and nicer than the large balcony cabins on deck 9 of the Getaway- in case you were looking at that type of room. :)
