HAL and Celebrity in a suite? Do you have a link maybe?

You can google or look on youtube.

 

On HAL, we always book a Neptune Suite near their Neptune Lounge. BTW, I'm somewhat amused with the great O benefit of washers and dryers on every floor and 3 bags of free pressing.  I'm used to daily free laundry that comes back within 24 hours cleaned and folded. 

HAL doesn't have a ship within a ship.  They are similar to O in that they do value treating folks relatively equally. But there are many options and preferences given to Neptune suite guests.

 

On Celebrity, we book a Royal Suite.  This includes unlimited access to all specialty restaurants as well as to their ship within a ship.  Suite guests have their own restaurant lounge, retreat and many other benefits.  One also has access to the "healthy" restaurant BLU if there is room.  Service includes a dedicated butler (not as good as MSC service, but cry good).

@mark46 a ‘ship within a ship’ is great if you can manage the overall ‘size’ of the ship. If you have mobility issues then only ‘small’ ships fit the bill so it no longer becomes an issue of ‘choice’! 
 

Fortunately all the smaller ships, from all the lines, work well for us because they are ‘small’!

Have you cruised on Oceania or just considering it?

Per the thread on Bermuda, a “just considering “ poster.

 FWIW: upscale Oceania and Regent use the same talent agency (and much of the talent) as does NCL. Of course, their smaller ship size limits the size of attractions that the show space can accommodate. So, there’s no wannabe Broadway shows.
 

But, that’s easily remedied: Book an Oceania or Regent cruise that starts/ends in NYC, spend a few days there and do a Broadway binge.

Re talent agency same as NCL....do you know if Oceania et al still use Jean Anne Ryan choreography/agency?
