Doubt It Posted February 6, 2019 #76 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Not interested in a suite on any cruise line. The "value" depends upon what experience you want. That is totally unique to each person. There is no single answer. On a cruise, we are rarely in our room. We refuse to pay for a butler, poor quality canapes, stocked bar etc. Not interested in the extra real estate. Also as another poster said, there are other ways to spend disposable income that is not allocated to a suite; the increment can be spent on a wonderful Porsche for example or sitting here at the Westin Mission Hill in Palm Springs, California where the room, service and food exceed anything provided on our last Oceania cruise. It is up to people to decide where they spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about those balcony cabins on the Island Princess. But when we went through the Panama Canal locks on the Dawn Princess, we could go out onto the balcony when it was going through the locks. That was a long time ago and things may have changed since then. Here is my report as promised, lol. Cabin is PR727. This accessible suite was more like a mini suite. Not very accessible for a wheelchair user. Balcony doors dont open wide enough for my mom's small walker to go through so no way any wheelchair will. There was a sewage smell for awhile each day. The drains in the bathroom make loud noises. On the plus side we were able to use the balcony while going through the canal. My recommendation is not to book this cabin. Another accessible cabin on a different deck maybe, but not this one! I have to say I was not a fan of the crowds at the grill and ice cream counters. I guess I became used to the larger ships. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land lover Posted April 6, 2019 #81 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) One improvement I think would be nice in Princess suites...and correct me if things have changed... is a dining table in the cabin.... We used to only book stern cabins , suites included, now we prefer cabins all around the ship...haven't had a suite on Princess since Club class came along. OP if you are thinking about it, book it.....and then you can decide for yourself. A negative I found when in a suites is there is a lot of space so I often forget where I put things. I have found smaller cabins are easier for me to manage....now if I can just limit my luggage. Book your suite and enjoy it! Oops just realized this is old news....

kenexx Posted April 6, 2019 #82 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Love suites and would rather cruise less but do a suite when we do. In a suite on Majestic at the moment and I have to say it is not as nice as the Grand class suites. Seems much smaller. No sink in the wet bar and no walk in closet. Other than that it is fine. Balcony is very narrow. There are much larger balconies at the stern but I'm not a fan of aft suites. Great cabin steward who is sadly leaving the ship tomorrow in Singapore.

AF-1 Posted April 6, 2019 #84 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Our aft balcony in Suite C749 on Caribbean Princess last month. Yes we love the extra room.

We’re sailing to Alaska for the first time and are wondering if it’s really worth it to have a suite? What are the real perks? We’ve never cruised on Princess. If you can afford it go for it. 😁 it’s only money if you don’t spend it someone else will. 😳 Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukesubsailor Posted April 8, 2019 #96 Share Posted April 8, 2019 All of you cruisers who like full suites need to knock it off. Go back to booking mini-suites. You will save a lot of money. The drop in demand for full suites will cause Princess to lower the price. That will save me a lot of money when I book a suite.😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
