Mariner of the Seas, Family Suite?

[Fam6]

We're booked in the Family Suite on Mariner of the Seas. I've heard the balcony is similar to a football helmet with obstructed views. Can anyone tell me more about the balcony specifically or the family suite in general?
Thanks!

What cabin number? There's not too many family suites unless you're talking about a Junior suite or a Royal or Grand suite. Anyhow, a family will have larger balcony than D-1 catagory. A D-1 balcony is 50 square feet. I hope this helped.
