Martita B. Posted February 21, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Sailor's~~can anyone explain to me why the most expensive suites on ships are always the forward ones? There must be a reason......beats me??? MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bldsld Posted February 21, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Martha, I'm guessing it's for the unobstructed forward views, that are essentially what you would see from the bridge. Denyse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted February 21, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Denyse~~I don't think I would enjoy the owner's suites forward on a Crossing, but one certainly would be comfortable in the Med or in the Carribean! I attended a cocktail party in suite 03 on a Crossing.......I stayed seated on the sofa! No drinks were spilled that evening, but it was rough........ Thanks for the info!

bldsld Posted February 21, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Martha, I have had a similar experience on the Northern crossing while visiting in one of the owner's suites. We all nearly spilled our drinks! Denyse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted February 22, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2005 my guess is that youre paying more for the space than the location and in designing the ships it was more conducive to allocate the space forward. also it allowed them to design the larger suites with more interesting wall lines that conform with the bow of the ship. having said that i could be completely wrong!!!!!!

garycarla Posted February 22, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 22, 2005 This is not just on the "Triplets". Almost ALL cruiselines have their most expensive suites high and forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseyguy Posted February 22, 2005 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Celebrity's Penthouse Suites on the "M" class ships, which are probably some of the grandest suites afloat, are aft and at deck 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgood Posted February 22, 2005 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2005 The Balmoral and Sandringham Duplexes on Queen mary 2 are all the way aft on Decks 9 and 10 ( connected by a spiral stair). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted February 22, 2005 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2005 maybe they just want to isolate them from the rest of us riff raff!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
