Aft balconied cabins (the ones at very back of the ship) can be the most prized standard balconied cabins afloat. Why? Because they can make you feel as though you are at the end of the world, offering 180-degree views over the stern's wake. (Read about the multitude of aft-lovers.) And the balconies are almost always at least 50 percent bigger than standard balconies located along the sides of the ship.
They do have a downside, though; they are at the very back of the ship and far away from a lot of activities. Plus, they are almost always "stepped out," allowing passengers in cabins above yours and those looking over the rail from the pool and other public decks to see down into your balcony.
Some standard rooms and many suites are located at the aft "corners" of a ship, with balconies that curve around the sides. Take one of those, and you can see where you're going and where you've been at the same time! Front-facing balconied cabins are almost always suites.
