Inspiration Owner's Suite

We got an upsell call for the Inspiration Owner's Suite. They wanted an additional $1200 for a 4 day sailing. My husband and I have sailed in this suite in the past. We are currently booked in a Grand Suite.

We have recently been sailing Princess. We always book suites. Princess has many nice suite perks - free specialty restaurant dinner the first night, bottle of sparkling wine upon embarkation, daily fresh fruit and hor d'oeuvres, a dedicated restaurant for suite guests to have breakfast which is freshly made, an evening happy hour with hor d'oeuvres, and more. Carnival has very few. An additional $1200 made this cruise more than the same cruise on Princess in one of their aft suites. Made absolutely no sense to accept this offer for merely a bigger room under the jogging track!

I'm sure someone will be asking what are the owner's suites like on Inspiration.. video of both

I agree... The balcony on the Inspiration Owner's suite is very small....A view is a view from the other windows..but how often are you going to just stand there and peer out. Lastly....Having the most expensive room on the ship looking down at a lifeboat at your feet level...is ridiculous!! No Thanks!!

DH and I had this same upsell a few years ago and took it. Wow, the suite was 800 square feet and the deck was 100 square feet. We had booked a Junior Suite. It was great because my DB and SIL were also on this Christmas cruise and it gave them a nice venue to spend some time away from their OV cabin. It sailed out of Miami and we were personally escorted onto the ship after check-in and received our keys at the guest services desk. We hadn't told my DB and SIL, so they were amazed when we met them at the door and ushered them in. Fabulous service. Would do it again!
