I spoke with a RCCL Agent last night while working on a separate issue, and although she was new and not very familiar, she took a long break from our phone call to speak with a supervisor regarding my question about the Ocean View Panoramic Suite. For my sailing in June 2018, this is a Suite level. It accrues two points per night on C&A and comes with bath amenities, bath robes, concierge service, and suite lounge access on deck 14. If I get any other info I'll post it. I think this is a new change along with the removal of the word family from the name.

We are thinking of booking this suite.

Lots of things, it can go pretty quickly

The extra features that come with on board booking are that the deposit required is reduced and there is extra on board credit. Otherwise you get whatever perks you would get in an ordinary booking.

I just booked a Celebrity trip on my RCCL cruise last week got all of the celebrity perks and OBC but was not allowed to use my large amount of OBC to deposit it bypassed my seapass account and went directly on my credit card

And just to add, the benefits of booking on board typically only include some amount of OBC and a reduced deposit. The stateroom rates and any other associated perks would be those that would be offered at the time of booking and available to all - and not specific as a perk to booking on board.

Oh no , I was planning on using my OBC for yhe deposit for sure. I've got so much OBC I was really hoping to use it towards another cruise.

We will be on the Equinox and will have lots of OBC to use. We'd like to book a Royal cruise. Will we still get the benefits/perks?
