Most Luxurious Suite at Sea
If you are planning to take a holiday cruise and have plenty of cash lying around why not go for the best cabin ( suite ) on the ship , of course they are not called Cabins at this level but known as SUITES. What exactly can a person expect from the best accommodation at sea.
The top Suites usually have a sparate sleeping and living spaces while they may vary from ship to ship. A butler should be available 24/7, to show you how everything works, unpack your clothes, organise shore excursions, and serve canapés and cocktails in your suite. Amenities usually include designer-name bathroom products, a pillow menu, Egyptian or Italian bed linen, fresh flowers and fruit baskets that are replenished daily, plus your choice of drinks stocked in the fridge.
