My husband boarded his first cruise (and our daughter's first cruise - she was 9 months at the time) thinking that he would probably like cruising but wasn't sure. It was definitely the Grand Suite and suite perks that won him over (we were on Voyager of the Seas and Royal Up'd into the suite). He especially loved the happy hour. We would change into slightly dressier clothes at night and go get a couple drinks before dinner, with snacks for the little one, and there were a lot of grandparent-age folks in there that would absolutely fawn over the baby. The concierge was helpful in several regards, and the priority boarding and disembarkation were a huge help (the concierge walked us all the way off the ship straight to our luggage and then helped us carry it all the way to the taxi line! but that was probably unusual). The last morning breakfast in Chops was also super relaxing. We did 7 nights (plus a night in Copenhagen either end) and it was not enough. Our upcoming cruise is in an interior guarantee, so we'll see if he still likes cruising without the suite perks lol.
