I am going to agree with Todd on this. Balconies are pretty sweet on most Radisson cruises, but the PG is a totally different cruise. Sure it is Tahiti and a balcony there sounds most desireable, however the PG has such a different feel to it that we don't see the upcharge for a balcony worth it. The PG is small enough that the outside decks are easy to get to and the social atmosphere is unlike any other of the Radisson ships we have been on so it is worth not having a balcony to lure you to spend time in the cabin. It is the only cruise we have been on without a balcony and the only one we can't wait to do again.
