balcony of course is much higher than an inside cabin.
However, it may not be your best choice in some itineraries.
If you cruise Caribbean in the summer months, it would be so hot outside that you would hardly sit on your balcony - and you would close your balcony door all the time to keep your cabin cool - in that case, the premium you pay is a total waste.
Another scenario is Alaska cruise - if the weather is bad during the whold cruise - cold and rainy - you could not use your balcony at all too and your prem money down the drain.
On the other hand, if it is an European cruise in the summer time, then a balcony might be a good choice.
We usually pick an inside cabin because we only go on the newest ships and the public areas on new generation of ships usually are very pleasant and have many nooks and cannies where you can sit quietly to enjoy a book, listen to the wave, have snack, etc. Inevitably as long as you are not around pool areas, most public areas are very quiet.
We just dont feel it is justifiable to pay 50% to 100% more for a balcony cabin while all other facilities are the same for everyone (Except QE or QM - where they still maintain separate classes and separate dining facilities).
Outside cabin and inside cabin have roughly the same size cabin, but balcony cabin usually is slightly larger.
Also, if you do choose a balcony, be sure to look at the deck plans - on Grand Class of Princess ships, and some RCCL ships / Celebrity ships, there are decks which balconies have no cover - i.e. they are exposed, so no privacy from above (Sun deck), people can look down at you and even accidentally drop things onto your balcony, cigarette butts, soda cans, for example.
There are balconies that are half-covered and fully covered, or some are "bump-outs". Pay attention to that.
