Why is it called an en suite? The term “en suite” comes from French and means “afterward” or “following.” While you could argue that en suite in real estate can be described as one room being situated after another, the French and English words have nothing to do with one another.

For passengers looking to enjoy views, especially the scenery in the wake of a ship, we recommend higher decks and the back of the vessel. The higher you pick, the farther you'll see. If you're after views, the best room on a cruise ship will be a balcony cabin at the ship's rear end.

Priority embarkation But don't expect to wait there long. As a suite guest, you'll be among the first passengers to board your ship. That means you'll be able to start your vacation earlier than almost anybody else on your cruise.
