The cheapest option per night is my monthly rent 😆
And the internet is like the cost of a year of home internet. For a week!
I was a nanny for a family a couple years ago. We went on a 14 day Scandinavian cruise with Disney. They stayed in a two bedroom suite (I had my own cabin). Their suite cost more than $100,000.
@RENZO PEREZ For 14 DAYS, a $100,000 2-bedroom suite is a steal considering some 1-bedroom suites will set you back $50,000 - $70,000 for a week-long cruise.
@RENZO PEREZ 2 bedrooms. Probably more rooms for other purposes.
@@mpb3481 The Roy Disney Suite perhaps?
Something to aspire to. Thanks for the escapism video Gary. Something lighthearted in these weird times. Let's hope that all of these become a reality in the not too distant future.
Thanks for watching. Good to hear you enjoyed the escapism- thought maybe was time for some
Yes!
It’s nice to dream about these suites... thanks for sharing.
A fun, light hearted and interesting video, Gary! Really nice way to mix things up a bit. The many suite offerings are truly amazing, as is their respective cost. Thank you for the continuation in a line of informative, interesting and thought-provoking videos covering the world of passenger cruising and voyages!
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate all your support!
You left out The Regent Suite on Regent Seven Seas Explorer and Splendor. Those are truly magnificent and extremely expensive.
I think the Pinnacle Suite from HAL had to be included. That suite is really just a wow factor.
I appreciate the brevity of your videos. They are packed with useful information without taking advantage of the audience. Thank you
Love all the suites! You are great at ultra-luxury cruising videos - glad you got to experience the Queen Victoria Grand suite! We splurged on the Walt Disney suite on the Disney Dream a couple years ago - there's a full kitchen with freezer stocked with unlimited drinks and frozen treats of all sorts, and a huge deck with large stainless steel jacuzzi. We spent a LOT of time in the jacuzzi and would have loved more sea days!
Nice survey of these accommodations. I'm surprised you didn't mention the Balmoral or Sandringham duplex suites on the Queen Mary II.
This was a blast. Do more on expedition cruising, please. It's easy to find vids for ships that are drinking, casinos, and tourist trap ports. I'm more curious what else is being offered. Love your vids.💞
I am def with you, Enjay. I have 2 very different approaches when I cruise, when in the islands, I rarely get off the ship anymore, juts stay back and enjoy the quiet. When I do Europe though I always do it foe the ports and spend time there. Cruising to me is being on the ocean as much as possible, the more sea days the better. Not a show guy on ship, can do those at home. Just how I like to do it, love seeing how other folks have so many varied opinions.
When a non-cruiser like me thinks of accommodation onboard, the image of those tiny, windowless, inside rooms come to mind. It is awesome to see these large, beautifully appointed suites that would beat any deluxe hotel suite on land. But Gary, are they REALLY worth the high price? I doubt you would get your money's worth, but if you can afford it, great!
Great video Gary. Thanks for sharing. My wife and I will be trying our first mini-suite on Princess this summer. Looking forward to it.
Ahhhmazing!!! Thank you!
Great video, thank you for making this
Great concept. I would love to see you rotate around the other aspects of cruising (e.g. meals, excursions, spa treatments, port experiences) to highlight the more premium experiences.
Thanks! Nice idea!
Thank you very much for making this video because I’m going on a cruise in a couple months and I’m so excited what is cruise thank you😎😎😎
Outstanding Video. Its your best!!!
Thanks :-)
Thanks Gary. It's nice to dream.
Regards from Australia. 🤓🇦🇺🇬🇧⛴️
Incredible suites! Wow! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
I love this video. This is great content.
I’d live like this if I could afford it 😀 They’d have to forcibly remove me when we got back
I know right? I'd be throwing a tantrum if they ask me to leave and Im staying in a room like that,
Idk how or why but this is exactly what I was looking for and I didn't even know
Booked the Iconic Suite for a Australia trip next 2025. Really excited
Thank you!
OK the Walt E Disney suite or the Norwegian Jade 3-Bedroom Haven Suite were bomb!
I’ve stayed in the Haven in the Norwegian Bliss when we went to Alaska.....🤷♂️
I will take 1 hour please. $416 😂
A balcony over the bridge wing is…I have no words 😮
Covid permitting we are in a Q5 on Queen Mary Singapore/Sydney 2022 and a Q1 Grand suite on Queen elizabeth from Auckland/Singapore February 2023, CANNOT WAIT
Good one!!!!!!! ❤️
Hey, I hope you get to sail on Regent Seven Seas Explorer or Splendor and review their suites! They look pretty magnificent
The NCL Haven has 2-bedroom suites as well
We can dream..! We did a mini suite on Sapphire Princess and enjoyed the suite restaurant. We'd like nothing better than to take a suite every time!
Agree 😀😀
absolutely
I'd like to live on a cruise ship for a bit so I'll definitely want to stay in one of these suites.
A girl can dream, can't she?
Fun video.
Just a bit out of our price range. Thanks for the review.
Indeed! For pretty much everyone! Thanks for watching :-)
Great video. I'm out to buy my lottery ticket!
Good luck!
What do you think about the regent suite, by Regent Seven Seas?
Hi Gary, I do not begrudge people who have the ability to afford those kinds of accommodations. If someone has led a good life, and is used to that, all well and good. Our first cruise was an inside cabin on the Carnival Fantasy (God rest its soul). Last year we enjoyed an Ocean View on Celebrity Summit. In May 2021 a Deluxe verandah on the hump of the Summit (larger verandah). In February 2022 a Sky Suite on Celebrity Millennium. Who knows, if we keep progressing...we'll be broke LOL. Hi from Bob and Jill penniless in Connecticut
I just wish I had the money to throw around on things like this!
Now if one had the money, I think this would be the way to live on a cruise ship full time.
Happy Sunday, Gary. Hope all is well in UK!!!
Hi :-) Good thanks. Hope all well with you ?
@@tipsfortravellers watched the entire video, amazing. Here is what I did Gary. I was to be on APEX this past May in a sky suite (entry level), when it cancelled I took the cash refund. So then I was looking for my next cruise, decided to wait until 2022. Anyway, I took the cash I got back from APEX and figured I'd combine it with my next cruise and find a really good suite. I think I found it on the Summit, Penthouse suite 6148, the living/dining and seeparate bedroom are 1,400 SF, the wrap around balcony is 1,000 SF and it looks amazing. Check it out on UA-cam, it's pretty incredible. NEVER have I been able to do this before but I figured well I budgeted for cruises that will not happen anyway, so why not treat myself for my 60th bday. The PH on Summit is US $15,114, YIKES, but after the year we are all enduring I don't care, just to be able to experience this once in my life, so good to look forward to!
What about the 3 Bedroom Garden Villas that NCL has on the Jewel Class and Dawn Class. I went on an 11 day cruise in that villa with 4 people on the NCL Gem and the total cost was about $39,000. Not cheap but well worth it.
You could bring like 10 people: Royal has the 4 bedroom, Grand Villa Suites, that hold up to 14 guests.
I am missing the AidaNova Penthouse suite.
I liked the Cunard suites the best.
The suits you showed are nice but why didnt you mention the Owner's Suite on the Oceania cruise line? It's a 2000 square feet suite and goes for around $18,000 a week. I have only seen inside it but I have stayed twice in their penthouse suite.
I assume you only like the larger ships.
I'm playing the lottery everyday just to take my entire family on either of those, where we all benefit a suit like that. Just subcribe to you.
Wow!
so what do they do when it rains in those open balconies ? i doubt the fancy people would bring those sofas inside
Cunard announced no sailing until spring 2021 :(
A little pie in the sky. Nothing's wrong with pie π
is the price per person or for two people or for an entire family.
♠️- Glenn
Magnificent
Holy Toledo Gary.. Ill take that week no problem. Ill even do a review for them
Me too :-)
Completely off topic, love the exaggerated ocean liner picture in the back.
and here i was thinking the seven seas explorer had the most expensive suite at sea
For the suites that sleep 5 or 6 are they cost effective as opposed to booking 3 balcony cabins for instance
Most likely but keep in mind, when you book an upper end suite it often includes drinks and tip and wifi package as well as a butler
and another thing to consider. Did you have cruises cancelled during COVID I did and just decided WTH I am going to use the money I budgeted but did not spend and Go BIG. So here is what I did: I was to be on APEX this past May in a sky suite (entry level), when it cancelled I took the cash refund. So then I was looking for my next cruise, decided to wait until 2022. Anyway, I took the cash I got back from APEX and figured I'd combine it with my next cruise and find a really good suite. I think I found it on the Summit, Penthouse suite 6148, the living/dining and seeparate bedroom are 1,400 SF, the wrap around balcony is 1,000 SF and it looks amazing.

NEVER have I been able to do this before but I figured well I budgeted for cruises that will not happen anyway, so why not treat myself for my 60th bday. The PH on Summit is US $15,114, YIKES, but after the year we are all enduring I don't care, just to be able to experience this once in my life, so good to look forward to!
LOL yeah, that's just a touch out of our price range. I'll stick to my angled, large, midship balcony aboard the Celebrity Summit, thank you. :)
nothing wrong with that!!
Cabin 7080 on the Summit this coming May to Bermuda for us, right on the hump.
@@bobkrakovich1851 good on you, fingers crossed it will happen for you! I've got a TA on APEX in May 2021, we shall see
So is it concie urge or concie air?
The prices you're quoting are for one person?
even if I won the lotto, I wouldn't pay for those Suites, I'd just get one that has a good bed!
As a Disney fan I think I'd like the Roy or Walt Disney Suites on a Disney Cruise. Maybe I'm consoling myself because I'll never stay in one, but did anyone besides me think that most of the suites in this video were kind of ugly & uninviting? Still, interesting video as always from Gary Bembridge.
Do I understand this right, those suits charge per room but not per person? So, more person in a room, less per head price it will be?
It is not per suite but yes the more in the room the less cost per person. For example Celebrity SUmmit penthouse suite for two in Jan 2021 is TOTAL cost of $18,702, for four it will be $22,615 TOTAL cost, but the cost per person goes down. For a solo cruiser in that suite is is the same cost as if 2 people were in it. Hope this helps.
We like Celebrity Suites, the cabin with the separate bedroom and living room. My wife is more of a night owl so that's perfect for us.
Celebrity suites are THE best
It’s great travelling with partner with different sleeping patterns. I too love having that
@@tipsfortravellers We think they were nicer on the Millie class ships than Solstice class, although we like those too. Interesting video Gary.
Are these prices per suit or per person staying in the suite?
Per suite for double occupancy, but if solo then you pay the same usually. Some lines charge for 3rd and 4th guest and some do not
Could be money well spent if forced to stay in your cabin for quarantine in another pandemic...
EXACTLY how I feel. This is why I decided to take the refunds from two cancelled 2020 cruises and upgrade to a large suite. If I have to stay in the room, got a large balcony, sitting area in the room and happy to take all meals there. Watch the sunrise, sunset, moon reflection and eat, drink and watch the ocean!!! Cheers
I would be curious to see the type of person that would do a suite on a cruise ship, over chartering a Yacht. A yacht you would have less to do while at sea. Doesnt have to be 500k a week or more.
Spending that much I wouldn’t even leave the ship at ports.
Why did these prices seem much higher than what I’ve actually seen?
These prices are per suite assuming 2 people? Or do these high-end suites charge flat fees?
It’s the cost for double occupancy yes
But solo occupancy would be the same
Exactly, I'll be solo on Celebrity Summit in a PH suite and the cost is the same as if there were two people in the suite
For me personally (with no intention to tell anyone with a different view that they are wrong), diminishing returns set in very quickly once I have a balcony in a quiet part of the ship. Even the balcony is mostly for my wife, for that matter.
If I'm spending time in my cabin or hotel room when I'm on vacation I feel like I'm doing it wrong. If I'm not excited to be seeing the ports and/or experiencing the ship, I'm probably on the wrong cruise. I will spend more to get cabins in Norwegian Haven or MSC Yacht Club, however. The ship experience is just that much better. I'd do an inside cabin Yacht Club cruise over a main ship suite.
Of course, priorities differ by person. If you derive more pleasure from luxurious living quarters, or just plain have money to burn to the point that both the price and the opportunity cost is irrelevant, then you do you.
Yep me too.
For those with that kind of money, I guess it boils down to values, doesn’t it?
70 thousand dollars! OMG!
If I had that type of money (70k / week) to spend… I’d rent a yacht w a full crew and chef.
Wish I had money to cruise in any kind of room
good point :-)
Either I win the lottery or I look for a sugar daddy.
The one from the Royal Caribbean looks very gibberish, the other ones are very nice. Cunard's suite is also not that nice compared to the others, it lacks a bit behind. They could use better colours and trims.
Not for me...im poor and i would rather travel more, but if you had the money i guess
Agree, but it is interesting to see what that sort of money buys too :-)
True...
do you prefer to stay in an inside cabin so you can cruise more often, or do you get a small balcony room? I always opt for a room with a balcony, I love to spend time outside, the reason I cruise is to be on the water and I can sit and watch it all day. Not much onto the shows, gotta see the water as much as I can.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Let's face it won't came back for normal cruise before,sad to say its take time to be back to normal,xjust save your money,don't waste it on a cruise line,if they fall they fall..let's wait the right time to cruise..
You didn’t tell us what time the party starts
Maybe if I save my pennies I could afford to do this once when I'm like 70 🤣
Buy a new Tesla or cruise for 7 days 🤔🤔🤔
I’m sure the people cruising in those suites can do both!
I’m sure they can 😀😀😀
@@tipsfortravellers cruise for 7 days, I live in the city and don't have a car
You missed Disney
If I spent my whole monthly salary I could afford one day in the cheapest suite :)
Flying and staying at five star hotels is cheaper - and your hotel doesn't wallow in the sea and you're not scewed for money at every opportunity - and you get to see a whole lot more - why ANYONE cruises these days amazes me ..
My question where on the ship are this located? I know some you showed were forward and others were aft. But isn’t the that the worst places for people who have motion sickness. And even in general if there are rough seas. Shouldn’t ship builders put some luxury suites in mid ship? 🤢
Yes, suites are not actually in the places with least movement often and placed, as you say, where the views etc are seen to be better. I was at a dinner once with a cruise ship designer who said he was always asked to put suites there but not where hw would put as mid ships and lower down is better....
Tips For Travellers Thanks for the reply. That’s interesting about the ship builder. Such beautiful suites.
70k 😐
I don’t see the point in paying such a high cost for such spacious suites when you could just stay at your home. WhatI’m saying is I thought people go on a cruise ship to enjoy the activities and the open air of the decks. Not to just sit inside a room. I don’t know I’m not a traveller so I don’t get it just seems strange to me. 🤷♀️
No dedicated 'His' and 'Hers' ?
Is the most expensive suite not that on the Regent Seven Seas Splendor at $11,000 per night?
I think the most expensive suites here rhyme with Sphinx. Cheap, gaudy, ostentatious extravagance for those on the level of Bernie Madoff when he was alive and swindling those who had to beg him to take their money. Notwithstanding, the QE2 suite looked nice, if over-priced.
I've Just realized How poor I am
The ultimate family suite makes me glad I di not have a family. It looks like it was designed by a toddler without parents. Wouldn't enjoy this at all. Some of the others though are lovely - though way more than I would ever spend on a cruise
And then you have to tip the cabin person 🥴
well you don't have to, but one def should!
julie Wallis ... good point ....I wouldn’t begrudge the staff that for sure they do work very hard and away from home for months on end ....
the majority of people watching this video cant even afoord a z2 suite
I have to disagree with this list, if you have 5000+ to spend on cruise, go on something more exclusive and classy/interesting cruises.
Something like Ponant Le Champlain or any expedition/smaller ship.
Hard imperialism
Royal Loft Suites are ugly. Who wants to climb stairs ?
That’s ridiculous! I don’t care how much money I had, I don’t think I could ever spend that kind of money on one week. It feels so wasteful. I’d rather take my whole extended family along on a regular cruise than spend that much on just one cabin!
I def see your point, but if a special circumstance allows, like COVID cancelling my 2 cruises...I just took the $ I'd of spent anyway and decided to massively treat myself just so I can say I did it
Vulgar luxury
