angeljt Posted February 15, 2012 #51 Share Posted February 15, 2012 One in a suite, and DH agrees. It's an entirely different experience. We've cruised inside, outside, balcony, mini suites, penthouse suite and owner's suite. No contest for us. We spend a lot more time in the suite and on the balconies. I think when we were younger, we would have said twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee101224 Posted February 16, 2012 Author #52 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Interestingly it does seem to be an age thing , maybe we mature into only wanting the suite life , I would still take 2 trips even after reading all these good points !

No, we are in our mid-60s and don't use suites. Neither do we fly first class on airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyyhoneybee Posted February 16, 2012 #54 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Depends who I'm going with. With a friend or my sister or mother/grandmother, inside. With DH? I don't think he could handle an inside cabin probably a balcony would work for him. We are doing a suite in August but it's a combo honeymoon/one year anniversary trip.

angeljt Posted February 16, 2012 #55 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We also like to entertain friends in the suite. We always get a bar set up so we can have drinks on the balcony or in the room. When we were younger, we would be out partying more, not we party in! That way we don't have to drive home!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted February 17, 2012 #56 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I would definitely pick the 2 cruises over the 1. All the way. We cruise interior cabins just because we don't spend any time in the rooms other than to sleep and get ready. I would rather enjoy the ship and the different ports...therefore, picking 2 cruises would be my cup of tea. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusonvt Posted February 17, 2012 #57 Share Posted February 17, 2012 2 cruises for sure! Never been in an inside but I know I could cruise in one. Only been in a suite once and wasn't sold on it for life. For me its all about the itinerary so to potentially get to see double the places I would go with 2.

DaisyA Posted February 17, 2012 #58 Share Posted February 17, 2012 We'll take two cruises every day and twice on Sunday! We haven't had the joy of experiencing the Suite Life, but I can't imagine turning down two cruises for one--no matter how fabulous the room. For us it is all about being out and about, we spend very little time in our room so I think a Suite would be wasted on us. (Though if by some miracle the Upgrade Fairy ever calls, I wouldn't necessarily turn her down!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikimouse Posted February 17, 2012 #59 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Id do 2 cruises instead .. maybe even 3, b2b2b, instead of the suite. Ive had a suite on carnival and a balcony on disney but now id just rather cruise more often in an inside or have extra money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryl12 Posted February 17, 2012 #60 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'll take the two cruises in an inside any day. We only use the cabin to sleep and get ready to go out. When we have a balcony we so very seldom use it except to step outside to check the weather (hot and sunny). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pkt1976 Posted February 17, 2012 #61 Share Posted February 17, 2012 definately two cruises!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchoolNurseMom Posted February 18, 2012 #62 Share Posted February 18, 2012 2 cruises for sure! One one hand we like to have a window to be able to see when it is light in the morning, so may not go for inside. On our last cruise wehad insode rooms and had searched and searched for my parents all morning. We finally found out that they were still sleeping from our room steward. It was noon! They were sleeping the day away! We must have really worn them out the day before!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashdog_1 Posted February 18, 2012 #64 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I wish I could get a suite for the price of two insides! I always look for a bargain, and if the price goes down like it did two weeks after I booked an Epic balcony for $899, I jumped on it. An inside isn't less than the price I just ended up with for a balcony. I have never seen a full suite in either of those two price ranges for a 7 night cruise. If you see one, please post it on cruise critic! I'd pick two in an inside unless the price really were just double the inside price. Then I might be tempted to try a suite for the first time.

marelind Posted February 18, 2012 #65 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have to go with one cruise in a suite. DH and I don't "work and play well" in a confined area. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
