Would I do my category F again....yeah I would. We spent so much time out of the room.
I did love my balcony for pictures in the Chilean Fjords and it does make the room feel much larger.....but I remember when booking for the March 03 PG that the balcony would cost about 50% more (all in with port for 2 - was $5000 for F and about $7500 for C). I used some of the savings to cover a 4 night stay at the Le Meridien in an OWB and the rest I applied to VOF, then cancelled, then went on MCF (I am rambling!).
