question: do we get free wi-fi in the suite? I have read that we do but did not see it on the list of suite perks

On oasis class you definitely do , older classes no.

Unfortunately yes, I do not understand why WiFi perks are not on all ships. That again is why we prefer celebrity for suite perks , they have same perks on all there ships. Same goes no suite restaurant, when I started doing suites about ten years ago , there was also lunch in specialty restaurant for that class., that lasted for a few years.

That doesn’t effect us since we are in suites and suites have access to concierge lounge. Those ships I believe don’t have a suite lounge. Ships like oasis class have both.

I get that being in a suite gets you suite privileges.  You stated that you use D+ for that benefit and thus why I provided the link.

Others may have already mentioned this but the biggest draw back with getting a suite is you can't go back to a lower category cabin.  We had our first Grand Suite on Oasis in 2016 and we haven't been able to get a regular balcony again.  We will be cruising in our 3rd Grand Suite in May on Symphony.

So far we did grand suites in navigator 3 times.

Liberty 2 times 

Brilliance once to Europe 

Allure once

and owners suite once on oasis .

recently we have been doing more celebrity suites.

I did my share of inside cabins etc etc 

but after first suite have not gone back , I rather do less vacations and do them first class, I know many people will disagree.

Biggest mistake we ever made after a GS was to try the CL.  We're ruined 😉

We did penthouse on new celebrity ship about 1600 sq ft 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, unfortunately way out of our normal price range was celebrating a few things and did it with move up . I won’t do anything with stairs which seems common on at least some suites on both lines.

Agree about being spoiled, if I am solo I'll do an inside. Ocean View or Balcony when traveling with someone will feel like settling, after a suite.

There were no balconies on ships when I started cruising in 1975 , first cruise we sailed that had them was early 90’s .
