WOW! So much info about cruising. I am so glad I asked for help from you all. I am going to book a Balcony cabin because I do a lot of photography and want the ability to take photos from my balcony. Also I love watching the water. That being said which deck and cabin area would be best for me to request? Dining options also state 2 nights in the main dining room are formal. Is it worth packing along formal clothes for those 2 nights or skip them and eat in one of the other dining areas on the ship? I would rather use the space in my luggage for my camera equipment.

Balcony cabins are great. However, I found that I spent more time on deck than on my balcony, so now only book a balcony if the price is very reasonable. Ironically, I very much enjoyed a lower deck ocean view cabin for watching the water more than from a higher deck.
Formal is not always "formal" and you will find lots of people in more casual clothes on formal nights. Don't worry about it.
