I have been in suites on three lines, Carnival, NCL & Royal Caribbean.  As far as suites go, NCL is far and above the best.  NCL treats its suite guests like royalty.  You will get a butler and a concierge.  A butler takes care of things inside the cabin (such as delivering your laundry or the daily gifts suite passengers receive), while the concierge takes care of things outside the cabin (restaurant reservations).  This will increase your tips.  The following link will provide you with more information about the special services you get in an NCL suite ...

The important thing about NCL is understanding Freestyle Dining.  There are two main restaurants plus Blue Lagoon and Garden Cafe (buffet) that are free (included).  There may be other specialty restaurants Then there are several optional extra cost restaurants.  There are no set dining times or tables.  So you can eat when and where you want.  I don't think you can make reservations in the two main (free) restaurants (check with the concierge).  Being a suite guest you can make reservations through the concierge.  (S)he can get you into restaurants that might be all booked up. 


But it is important to understand Freestyle Dining.  If you decide to eat at the same time 1500 other people decide to eat, someone is going to have to wait.  Sometimes there are slow periods and the ship will offer half price at the extra cost restaurants during this time.  Check your Freestyle Daily (the ship's newspaper) for and special half price deals and times.  Also, the food and service in the extra cost restaurants is better.  Would you pay extra for the same quality of food and service?
