It’s a personal choice/preference. I sail 2-3 times a year in suites. We are in a suite on the RCCL Icon inaugural (Jan 2024) and Celebrity Beyond to Italy, Greece and Croatia (Aug 2024, hubby bday) It is not costing more for the suites as my land trips for my birthday in Sept 2023, a week in the Maldives then fly over to Dubai for a week. It a personal preference and planning, I plan out my trips well in advance as you see (nothing on credit cards). I like to have everything paid all we have to do is show up.
