Yep. I worked hard for my money, and I also worked hard to save money. Now that I've escaped that dreadful w@*k world, I'm not about to start throwing money away on things I don't want or need. Some derive tremendous value from a 3' x 8' balcony with the worst chairs on the ship. I'll just nap in the OL instead! 😎
disclaimer: I've never fallen asleep on a cruise ship anywhere other than my bed and, on one rare occasion, a heavily discounted aft balcony. It's the only fond "balcony" memory I have.
