Koningsdam / Nieuw Statendam - Single Oceanview vs Inside/Inside cabin

Hello,

My friends and I are new to HAL. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the single cabins on Koningsdam. We are assuming that any insights would equally apply to Nieuw Statendam.

I will be in the cabin by myself so the Single cabins appear nice. However my friend pointed out that the square footage of a Inside/Inside cabin is larger, and is cheaper. Granted the Single cabins have a window, however they all appear to be on deck one, forward, under the World Stage.

Any insights or suggestions for this? Are the Singles smaller and not worth the extra money?
