Pride Cat. 8 vs. 11?

[drush]

I would like people's opinion on what the major differences in a cat. 8 extended balcony vs. a cat. 11 mini-suite? Do you think it is worth the cost difference, $200 per person?

For $200.00pp I would say its worth it.
Bigger room,nicer bathroom with a tub w/jets
Dressing area.Bigger balcony.
If it is an aft location too that makes the balcony even bigger.
I would go for it.
Check out my pixs of both from the Legend and the Pride

We received a free upgrade to Cat. 11 on our Pride cruise.
We enjoyed the larger size cabin, but my opinion was "for free fine, to pay not worth it."
However, I thought the price difference was a lot more than $200pp. For that amount, I just might consider it.
My only real complaint about the mid-ship Cat. 11's is that you look down at the life boats from your balcony.

5/2 Miracle cruise

We had booked a 9a and upgraded to an 11 aft wrap around balcony after reading all the comments posted by the wonderful experts here at cruisecritic. Our balcony will be 220 sq ft.
Here's a link that a cruisecritic member sent us that greatly affected our decision.

This is the exact cabin that we booked on the Pride for our upcoming cruise.
