"When my son was a toddler, he climbed on a chair and tossed a TV remote off of our hotel room's balcony. It happened so quickly that I didn't have time to stop the remote from falling 10 stories into the bushes... Thankfully, I was able to grab my kid and lock the balcony door before he did any real damage, but at that moment, I swore off booking rooms with balconies at hotels and on cruises for good."
"When my son was little, I dreamed of tucking him in for a nap and slipping out to my cruise cabin's balcony to read a good book and enjoy the fresh air. However, there were problems with this plan. For starters, his bed was right next to the balcony door on many cruises, making it all but impossible to slip in and out of the room without waking him."
"Balconies aren't nearly as idyllic as I imagined. They generally only have enough room and seating for two, meaning my family of three was unable to comfortably sit on the balcony together. When my husband and I had the room to ourselves, the ship's movement meant it was often too windy to spend time in our outside space."
