Breaking the code for regular balcony cabins: BA, BB, BC, BD, etc.

As a follow-up to the thread about mini-suite categories, some of us were wondering if there is anything besides location that differentiates the categories for regular balony cabins. For example, are all the balconies covered, or are some partially covered and others totally uncovered? Does this vary by ship?

Most standard balcony cabins have covered balconies. Caribe deck balcony cabins are much larger and are half-covered/half-uncovered. FYI, just because they are covered doesn't mean they are private. They aren't particularly so as anyone in a balcony below can see up and into your balcony plus there is staff on the bridge 24/7 with binoculars checking the balconies for fire.

The main difference in the balcony cabins is location. The most expensive (BA) are generally viewed as the most desireable.

 

As to covered or uncovered, that will vary by ship.

LOL - wasn't looking for privacy. Just shade and protection from the sun.
