When a Suite Makes the Most Sense
A suite is usually worth it if:
You enjoy relaxing on the ship as much as visiting ports.
You prefer fewer crowds.
You appreciate premium dining.
You're celebrating an anniversary, retirement, or special occasion.
You spend a lot of time in your cabin and balcony.
When It May Not Be Worth It
You're in port almost every day.
You rarely spend time in your cabin.
You're mainly cruising for excursions and entertainment.
The suite upgrade costs several thousand dollars more than a veranda cabin.
