Agree that for most people, a standard cabin would work just fine. There are, however, some folks who just can't do it...my wife being one. She is claustrophobic, and being in a small enclosed room with no means of fresh air is very troubling for her. We have done dozens of ocean cruises, always in a balcony cabin. We are doing a Viking river cruise next year, and it will be in a veranda cabin. Her peace of mind and comfort are worth the extra expense.
