Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm your host, Crystal Soditus. And today, I wanted to talk about something that's kind of really been bubbling up in my cruise news feed and in the cruise world.

If your family has the means and is really looking for the ultimate privacy, square footage, and luxury, these suites are really the way to go.

Personally, would I ever do it? I don't know. I doubt it. I doubt I would ever spend that much money on a treehouse or a townhouse.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have sailed in any of them, I would love to have you on the podcast to hear about your experience.
