If a cabin attendant for suites has fewer cabins to take care of than an
attendant who takes care of standard cabins, you are, in theory, getting
more attention from your attendant. Therefore, he deserves a bigger tip.
You may not take advantage of any exta services from him, but you are
still paying for him to be there on standby.

This is just a thought. I have never stayed in a suite on a ship.
