That is your claustrophobia- but small confined places not for me. We enjoy breakfast on our balcony, lots of closet and drawer space and at least one large bathroom, with storage. We love our private time in our suite and while we enjoy the entire ship, love time in our suite during the day- For us, not just for sleeping. In the summer, our cruise port is about one hour and 15 minutes from our home. We also enjoy a extra day or two at different ports that we might fly into. Different strokes for different folks as they say. Enjoy your cruises.
