Because what they are selling is exclusivity and there is a limit to that. Put in too many suites and suddenly the ability for the very few to look down on the many is lost.

 

And there is a limit to the price they can charge on the suites before the cost starts to overlap with the prices for Carnival's more premium brands.

Nice big chip on your shoulder, there. Ah allwsays look doon on them bela us when i am in a suite. It’s coos we are so high up like.

You must listen very hard for it. I find the only thing i can here is there sea.

That's what we find as well - you might get noise from your next door neighbours, but certainly not from the prom deck.

How do you know if someone on a cruise has a suite - don't worry, they will tell you.

Good point!

 

But as an previous poster mentioned, P+O might have missed a trick with the Conservatory

mini suites - the one comment people make about them almost without fail is that they are

"too narrow" with poor storage and bathroom size for supposed mini-suite, all of which would

have been resolved by making some/all of them 50% wider (and priced accordingly as 'full' suites)

rather than being obsessed with trying to squeeze as many cabins as possible onto an already

overcrowded ship...

 

But that ship has sailed (pun intended!)

But they need to sell an escalating scale of cabins to maximise their profits.

 

They sell the Conservatory Mini Suites to those who want to sail in a ’suite’ but don’t want to pay for a real suite. If those Mini Suites offered all that people wanted then they wouldn’t sell the real suites.

 

To make the most money you have to make your product a little bit rubbish so people pay to upgrade, but not make it so bad that people choose a competitor instead.
