Alaska Cruise Balcony Or Not Mid Ship
When you feel seasick on a cruise one of the worst things to do is to go back to a small cabin and sit indoors.
Alaska cruise balcony or not mid ship. However others would say that a Balcony Stateroom would be a better choice as you could see the horizon. Two opinions On choosing a cabin for an Alaskan cruise. Both the balcony and the excursions are important IMO.
There are usually 2 formal nights not mandatory that require almost like a wedding-guest look. Other advice would be to pick an Inside Stateroom as it is closer to the middle of the ship and you will experience less motion. The ship is the Pride which is the sister ship of the Miracle we just took to Alaska.
The 700-passenger Mariner is the slightly better of the two and all its cabins have balconies. Dont skimpget a balcony for Alaska Dont waste the money on a balcony. I will always suggest not taking a balcony IF it prevents you from one of your priority touring choices.
And if you decide to do an excursion like a helicopter ride to a glacier thatll be really cold too. A balcony may absolutely be worth it to you but probably not if these are your primary reasons. This is the cruise to spring for a verandah.
The lower deck staterooms are a little less expensive but have the same layout and amenities. To expand on the above I always suggest taking a hard look at your style. Contrary to some beliefs that one side is better than the other both sides are actually best for an Alaskan cruise ship.
For many a visit to Alaska is for what is outside the ship- which does include the views from the cruise ship. Compare that with around 150 square feet for a typical interior cabin. Book on the starboard right side of the ship for northbound itineraries and on the port left side of the ship for southbound itineraries.
