First few trips home we booked preferred view which =pool view.
Then we went standard and decided that view was just as good and netted us an extra trip every year with the points we were saving. And I might add the view isn't so standard.
Now, we have the choice of Boardwalk view! We have decided for husband/wife trips that this option is a must. But with extended family and kids in tow we will be being going standard because we will never egt to enjoy that view.
