Additional details
My wife lived in South America when she was young, her father was an oil field engineer. My father was career military and we both traveled a lot as children and as young adults.
We wanted to go to Europe but did not want to pack get on a bus and travel to a new city every day. We did not want an ocean cruise because we both get sea sick very easily. We did want to be pampered a bit and see some places neither of us had been to before.
The choices were:
Cabin Review
Deluxe Stateroom with Window
What can I say it was only 170 square feet, but how big does a room to sleep in have to be. It had more than enough room to hang our clothes in the closet, ample drawer storage, a safe for valuables and passports, a bathroom big enough to do what we needed to do, although just one at a time. The cabins on this river ship were all the same size. The premium prices were paid for location and higher decks. But it was winter and since the ship usually moved at night what were we going to look at, at 2:00 AM. So we purposely chose the deck and cabin since it cost less and was as big as the others. We got up and down the stairs to the restaurant very easily. We enjoyed the cabin more than enough to stay in it for hours at a time when we needed to rest after a long day of walking. I heard no complaints from anyone about their cabins, and the steward was wonderful. I began to think he lived under the bed as fast as it was made up in the morning and turned down at night for bed. Amazing is what I would call the whole experience. If you haven't done it try it out.
