TeeRick Posted August 23, 2021 #76 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I always find these type of threads very interesting to see how people view themselves and state opinions about others without knowing anything about them. These suite discussions commonly have an element of cruisers considering themselves peasants or in steerage like the rest of the normal people. Suite cruisers are depicted as wealthier than them and snobbish and elitist and otherwise not normal like them. Yes the normal people like them paying a boatload of money to cruise. Most of the world would not consider any of us cruisers to be normal compared to their daily situations. We are all quite fortunate. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted August 23, 2021 #77 Share Posted August 23, 2021 +1, TeeTick. Something else to keep in mind ... have seen a fair number of fortunate folks who were able to bank their saved vacation budgets over the last year, and finally feeling freer to travel with the future still uncertain, planned a splurge vacation with 2X the available funds. Wouldn't surprise me if that was happening with cruisers right now, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They saved up for years. There is no way to broadly categorize those in suites or in Aqua or in any other cabin. It is a buying choice and how people want to spend their own money. Like everybody else on board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichYak Posted August 23, 2021 #81 Share Posted August 23, 2021 On my last Celebrity sailing, I met some incredibly friendly, down to earth, normal people in the suite lounge. I also met an incredibly friendly, down to earth gentleman that had been knighted by the Queen. He was quite normal too, despite that one distinction. None were snobs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if that was happening with cruisers right now, too. This was us. We can't usually afford to sail in the Retreat, but with a 25% bonus FCC from cancellations and a lot of other unused vacation funds saved up, we decided to make our first vacation in over two years a special one in the Retreat on Edge. Is it something we can do often? No. Is it something we really wanted to do to treat ourselves? Absolutely. We have a January cruise on the Apex where we'll be in an OV and I know we'll enjoy that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantstopingcruising Posted August 23, 2021 #86 Share Posted August 23, 2021 My philosophy is that if there are enough people, there will be "all kinds", wherever you go. There are some truly wealthy people who choose suites, and some who are not wealthy. Same with any other cabin category. (Yes, there are wealthy cruisers who choose insides, too!!) When I read about them eating Brats, I thought the poster was a kid-hater and was being snide!! Being Canadian, I never heard of Brats hot dogs. I haven't eaten a hot dog since my kids grew up! And we buy Maille dijon mustard. And we usually book insides. And we are not wealthy(lol). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
