Thank you all for your replies - I've talked to 2 different couples that said their boat was so overcrowded, they couldn't do much of anything - and they also had terrible lines to get on shore. I was thinking they just had a bad experience and that wasn't the "norm". That is the reason I joined this site - I'd like to do my research! Thank you for the positive feedback :)

Hi everyone! My husband decided to book a cruise for us 7 nights Western Caribbean in Nov 2018. I'm very nervous, as this is my first cruise and it's a week long! Can anyone shed some light on the balcony cabins? We are on the 9th deck room 620 (9620). I'm wondering if we should upgrade to a larger room / balcony - how much time is actually spent in your cabin? I'm worried about it being so crowded that I have to stay in my cabin. Also - any info about getting on and off the boat during land days would be nice. I've heard you spend most of the time in line getting on and off the boat. Hope that's not true! Thanks for any info you can provide!
