Sorry to say but bigger is better. I just did my first suite on Konigsdam two week R/T from Amsterdam (Scotland, Iceland, Norway) and it was fantastic. Storage was incredible, plenty of places to hang other than bed and small sofa in other cabins -- and the bathroom -- to die for. Double sinks and jetted. long, deep tub. Plus roomy shower. Doing it again -- at much, much reduced rate -- for Thanksgiving cruise on Eurodam. Was it stretch financially, not really when my wife and I decided the goal in life is not how much you leave your kids but how little. Bottom line though is money. If you can't afford it, don't do it. If you can, why not. All the rationalization about I still get this and I don't need that is just that - rationalization. You don't have the dough, you don't go. And that is just fine. But please don't tell me that the driving experience of a Chevy is the same as an Audi. What is true, as far as cruising is concerned -- with rare exception -- no matter what cabin you are in you are going to have a wonderful, relaxing, virtually tension free vacation. And that is why all of us cruise.
