My DH and I were upgraded from a mini-suite to a suite on another line on our first cruise. We have always stayed in suites (not always the Haven) except for our last cruise. It was a spur-of-the-moment cruise, and there weren't any suites available. We stayed in a room with a balcony. We missed the afternoon snacks and the extra room, but what we really missed was the bathtub. My DH is a diver, and he rinses off his equipment and lets in the dry in the tub after each dive. Our next cruise, which isn't until next year, is in a suite on the Jade.

In 2011, we were sitting in our cabin one evening watching the World Series with the balcony door half open when a duck flew into our room. I'm yelling for my DH to call the steward. The duck flew away when my DH calmly walked over, picked it up, and put it on the balcony.
