When a Suite Pays for Itself

Long voyages

On a two-week or longer cruise, the space, the lounge and the service matter more with every day.

Celebrations

Anniversaries, milestone birthdays and honeymoons deserve the upgrade.

Families on big ships

Multi-room suites can cost less than several separate cabins, and the private areas give parents a retreat.

Inclusions

Many suite programs add drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi or priority access. Add up what you would otherwise buy.

Scenic cruising

In Alaska, Norway or Antarctica, a large balcony or wraparound terrace is a front-row seat.

When a Balcony Cabin Is Enough

Short cruises of three or four nights
Port-intensive itineraries where you are ashore every day
Travelers who rarely spend time in the cabin
If the suite premium would be better spent on an extra week of travel

A specialist can price the suite, the balcony and a luxury-line alternative side by side, so you can see the real difference. See also how to compare cruise quotes.
