What is a Junior balcony

[mafiadon]

I was pricing a cruise on the Mardi Gras, under the casino rate and it picked a room that is a junior balcony, what is the difference between this and a regular balcony. Thanks for any help Linda

In looking at photos, the only real difference that I see is the balcony has a sofa inside the room, the junior balcony does not.

According to Carnival's website:

 

Junior Balcony stateroom features the same size balcony as standard Balcony rooms, just with a little less interior space.

 

 

Essentially, it is just a balcony without a couch.

Thanks everyone for your replies

We've sailed a couple of times in a cabin without a couch.  It was awkward not having anywhere to sit except on the bed or on the stool from the desk -  which still left one of us sitting on the bed.

 

We enjoy room service breakfast and relaxing for awhile before going down to late seating in the MDR.  So ,,, for us ...  not having a couch (or even a love seat) isn't a good choice.
