One maintains that the size of the cabin is of little or no importance. This is because you will be spending almost all your time in the ship's bars, lounges, dining rooms, nightclubs, decks, swimming pools, saunas, and gymnasium. The other school of thought maintains that your cabin will be your home away from home. It should offer you the option of spending as much or as little time in it as you choose. Your personality and the personalities of those who are traveling with you ought to be considered when selecting a cabin. Are you a reader? A cabin with a sitting area will probably be more comfortable for you. If you are a fitness enthusiast, sitting will not be very important.
