I actually agreed with your point. I simply thought that it was worth pointing out that value is
so individual that it doesn't matter whether it's your first time or 20th time. You can still feel that there's value even in the face of changes over time and you can feel that there's no value after your first time and vice versa. It's not necessarily dependent on time and change. And I agree that simply picking apart someone else's comments about whether something is worth it or not is pointless. It's far more productive to provide information that puts into context what did and didn't meet with your values and why so that others can make their own judgements based on that.
Nope. Sorry. I even noticed the difference in size between the same category cabins between the Magic and the Fantasy/Dream (about 20 sq ft). For me it's not about design, storage space, or efficiency of space - it's the total physical space. That's important to me; we spend a lot of time in our room. So if I'm going to compare two different cruises, I'm going to start to compare them based on size. That's why I am very skeptical about postings that claim to be able to do the same cruise for half the cost of
DCL. It totally depends on how that comparison is done and whether it's on a basis that meets with my needs. This is why everyone is right and there are few absolutes. It's really helpful if people give context (i.e., what's of value to them) and why something did or didn't meet with their needs and why rather than just state that something is not worth it or is overpriced. Then we can all judge for ourselves.
