i was just considering this same question for Quantum to south pacific!
large balcony rooms, have a balcony that is bigger but room that is smaller so depends whats important to you.
ultimately for us, a bigger room is worth it, there is plenty of room to sit out on the balcony in any case.
to answer your question we usually book forward and up high without being near any entertainment venues or the kids club.
if your further away from the buffet makes it easier to justify the extra dessert.
I'm looking forward to checking out the new cruise terminal and new for me ship in 2022.
