    Pacific Explorer has just over three decks dedicated to cabins with balconies, and there’s no doubt that access to fresh air and a little outdoor space is a nice addition to a cruise holiday.
    Balcony cabins onboard are available in several configurations including a twin arrangement with a queen bed or twin beds, a quad share room with one queen and two upper bunks, a quad room with twin lower beds and twin bunks, a triple share room with two lower twins and one upper bunk, and a quad share room with one sofa bed, one lower single bed and two upper bunks.
    In this video, we’ll be looking at a twin share room with a queen bed. Irrespective of the room configuration, the size is about the same across all types at about 16 and a half square meters. The compact space is made up mostly of the bedding. There are two bedside tables. You can store suitcases under the bed which is a great way to free up some of the limited floor space.
    Theres’s a flat screen television and behind that are your main power points. There’s one Australian outlet, a European outlet and a 4 slot USB-A outlet which is very handy for charging devices. There’s also a US style outlet available at the vanity.
    A bar fridge is located under the television. A vanity was set up with some bottled water which is available for purchase. Your room steward can arrange delivery of a bulk order for a lesser cost than purchasing each bottle as you go. Complimentary masks, a room service menu, notepad and telephone round out the desk offering.
    A sliding door separates the balcony from the indoor space, with two chairs and a small table. Being an older ship, the balconies are inset within the hull and therefore have a steel cutout as opposed to the glass dividers you find on newer ships. It’s a compact balcony but it’s definitely nice to have the added space.
    The bathroom is well, very economical on space. Also known as tiny. There is shelving on the side of the mirror as well as under the sink, which is also where your pool towels are located. Your pool towels can be changed by your room steward upon request. There is a liquid hand soap at the basin, as well as a combined shampoo and conditioner and a separate body wash in the curtained shower.
    Outside is a three door wardrobe containing a safe. There are a few shelves, and some swing out storage drawers. Hanging space with a fair number of hangers completes the storage offering in the cabin.
    A small ledge is a great place to keep your cruise card or sunglasses for easy access when coming and going, plus there’s another US style outlet underneath it.
    Overall, it’s a compact room, more so than you find on some newer ships or ships from other brands. However the bedding was very comfortable, and having the outdoor space and access to fresh air is a perk that I think is worth the added cost over an oceanview room.
    Thanks for watching!
