we moved from an area with heavy air pollution [staines] to the south coast rural area and you notice the fresh air, could not go back to living in heavy air pollution, but you do not notice the difference till you move away.
the view has to be the real thing not a digital image.

Originally posted by DUETTO, Staines View Posta gimmick, a balcony is not only the view, It is access to fresh air to help prevent dry throat / cough etc from dry air con, also the ambiance of sitting out on the balcony watching the world go by and the breeze. watching on a large digital screen for us would not be the same.
only good point no worries of getting a chain smoking cigar user next cabin and all his smoke blowing in, had this once on the Oriana and staff could do nothing about it really spoilt our balcony.

Originally posted by andyn, kensworth View PostDon't mind insides, as has been said often before, prefer more cruises to having a bigger cabin and am never in the cabin anyhow. The virtual balcony may make the room feel bigger and be a novelty for a week or so but then that is probably it. As for needing to open the balcony to see what the weather is like, luckily I can see the webcam and understand weather reports.
Can't see that the virtual balcony is anything more than a larger version of the webcam.

Very clever! I certainly would like that, not only seeing what the weather is like but also creating light & an illusion of space. Much better than a telly!

The public rooms, in some case, could be internal.

I think it's a great idea and would happily book a cabin with a virtual balcony though saying that, we haven't cruised with RCL as yet. Don't mind inside cabins and I always look at the webcam channel on the TV as a mini sea view anyway

I think it a great idea, why not have a nice bright image instead of a blank wall. I can't see any downside to having this in the cabin and beats watching the action on a small television..Carol

I think its really novel though.

I think it's a great innovation.
It would be the only facility to tempt me away from a balcony cabin to an inside cabin. Then again - maybe not.
