The creature comforts certainly are superior to those in a monohull. If you have crew who do not handle heeling well, a cat is a great solution. They also allow you to anchor in extremely shallow water, just steps from the beach, for a picnic lunch. I have friends who are hardboiled monohull sailors but will only vacation in a catamaran... But the only way you are going to find out whether it will spoil your experience is to try it :-)
