What Is a Suite Like on a Cruise Ship?

By Alice Nichols

When it comes to cruise ships, a suite is the ultimate luxury. From the expansive space to the lavish amenities, a suite on a cruise ship is the best way to travel.

The suites on many of today’s cruise ships offer guests plenty of space and privacy. Most suites range from 300 – 800 square feet, with separate living and sleeping areas, and some even come with an additional bathroom for guests.

The living area typically features a sofa or sofa bed, coffee table, and dining table for four or more people. Many suites have balconies with chairs and tables where you can relax and take in the view.

The sleeping area of a suite usually features one or two beds, depending on the size of the suite. Some suites may also have an additional sleeping area with bunk beds or a private sleeping alcove for kids or teens. The beds are usually king-size or queen-size beds with luxurious linens and pillows for maximum comfort.

Amenities in a suite can vary depending on the ship but typically include complimentary Wi-Fi access, flat-screen televisions with satellite programming, iPod docking stations, mini-fridges stocked with snacks and beverages, safes for valuables, bathrooms with full tubs and showers, hair dryers and toiletry kits. Some ships may include additional amenities such as robes, slippers, espresso machines or complimentary spa services.

Dining options in suites are usually slightly different than those available for regular cabins. Suites usually have access to exclusive restaurants that offer gourmet meals prepared by top chefs from around the world as well as special menus designed just for suite guests.

Entertainment options are also often enhanced for those staying in suites. Some cruise lines offer private shows featuring renowned singers and comedians that are only available in the larger cabins.

Service: Another great perk of staying in a suite is that you have access to 24/7 concierge service who can help you make reservations at any onboard restaurant or show as well as arrange shore excursions during your stay.

In conclusion, when it comes to luxury travel on cruise ships nothing beats staying in a suite. From expansive spaces to exclusive amenities and services all tailored to meet your every need – it’s no wonder why so many travelers choose to stay in one when they go on vacation.
