Can't agree with you more. We stayed in the Haven (spa balcony) last October on the Breakaway from NYC to Bermuda. We didn't think the food was much better than anywhere else on the ship. It was nice to have a butler who brought us snacks and meals to our room, but it really wasn't that big of a deal to us. I did like the pool area because it was so quiet, but it was likely due to the ship being at about half capacity.
I'd much rather save my money for more cruises.
