HI,
My sons and I had a cat 8 on deck 6...(6022) We LOVED the stateroom. I felt that it was very spacious, and we thought the location was wonderful. (forward port side) We were close to the forward elevators, which was really convenient. We were almost in a "private" area because the "hall" area was a bit offset from the long main hall of the other staterooms. The porthole was enormous, and we enjoyed the views when we were in the room. I think it is well worth the price.....
