I think that the addition of the balconies enhance her lines considerably. They help lessen the look of public rooms aft cabins forward (yes, I know that is largely how she is arranged. While handsome as built, to my mind she just had too many small windows from mid ships forward. The balconies below the lifeboats give her a more graceful look. I should add that normally I'm no fan of balcony cabins.

I never liked the addition of those balconies. But, it keeps her afloat a little longer.
