The balconies are fairly narrow and those on A & C deck are cut out of the hull, so can be quite shaded, compared with those on B deck.

Can't help you there Lindsey. Never been on Arcadia apart from a ship visit. We weren't overly impressed.

B deck balconies are lovely, C deck are ok and certainly deeper than those on the newer ships, I can't compare to Arcadia aft balconies as we've only had one at the side but I thought Aurora and Arcadia were pretty much the same ( size wise ) I don't recall one being any smaller than the other.

Had both Lyndsey.
No comparison between the two.
Arcadia aft are much bigger and have the view when leaving port.
Empty vessels .. and all that
