Thinking about upgrading to a suite on your next cruise? In this video, we compare two luxury cruise experiences: The Haven on Norwegian Escape vs. the Suite Class on Regal Princess. We sailed just six weeks apart, so this is a fresh, side-by-side review of 5 key differences we think really matter if you’re splurging on a suite. From exclusive dining and lounge perks to pool access, pricing, and more — you’ll see what we loved, what surprised us, and how these two premium experiences really stacked up.
🎥 Watch as we show footage from both cruises, share behind-the-scenes suite benefits, and help you decide which cruise line might be right for you.

While our direct comparison is based on our experiences aboard Norwegian Escape and Regal Princess, the features we highlight reflect what you’ll find on many ships across both fleets. The Haven enclave, with its private pool, restaurant, and lounge, is available on most newer Norwegian Cruise Line ships like Escape, Bliss, Encore, Joy, Breakaway, and Getaway. On the Princess side, concierge lounges are currently available on Royal-class ships like Regal, Royal, Majestic, Sky, and Enchanted Princess. Newer ships like Sun Princess and Star Princess are taking the suite experience even further, with signature suite lounges and an elevated Sanctuary Club that includes a private pool and sun deck. Keep in mind that not all ships in either fleet offer the same amenities — so it’s important to review your specific ship’s offerings before booking. We will tour our suite in a future video.
