What is a “Club Balcony Suite” – Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line recategorized their “Mini-Suite” category to a new category called “Club Suite Balcony“. This change in cabin category also brings along a lot more perks than the previous mini-suite category. Club Balcony Suites provide additional amenities and privileges at no additional cost.

One of the biggest differences between the balcony and the club balcony suite, in regards to the room, is the size of the bathroom. The club balcony suite has two sinks and a larger shower, as seen in the photo below.

These spacious rooms are available to book on a wide variety of itineraries such as Alaska, Bermuda, & Europe.
