So basically, they have included the balcony square footage in the total square footage of the stateroom. Not a huge surprise. Was this info posted incorrectly on their website?

I actually think this email was a direct response to the current thread about balconies here on CC. After I got it, I came here, found the thread and... well... you can read my response in that thread!! :p

Hi, I think they did that because some other cruise ships list the size of cabin and size of balcony separately and on their site it didn't specify the difference.

As confirmed by my CPP Audra, the balcony was inclusive on sq footage. I had copied it 6 months & it does state includes balcony in brackets.
