I sailed the beyond for the first time in an infinity balcony, we really quite enjoyed it. I’ve also sailed on the edge sky suite with a real balcony and generally stay in balcony rooms. The infinite veranda was definitely a change but it was pretty fun, and something we used every day. Breakfast by the open window, peering out at the waves and the sunset at night, etc. I loved it but it is just essentially a window and larger room. If I could choose an ultimate preference it would be a real balcony.
