MJU

One thing too think about if you are thinking about upgrading to a mini - most of the minis have UNCOVERED balconies which may not be what you want in Alaska (only the minis on deck 8 are covered) and it does rain in Alaska!

It is for full suite guests only - a pass key will be in the suite It is located on the 14th floor next to the wedding chapel

Unless you are trying to make specialty dinner reservations (which they can help you with - especially the first night free dinner) you do not need reservations as you have reserved dining which is walk in anytime with little or no wait

Are you in a suite?

Our 19 year old granddaughter slept on the sofa bed and said it was very comfortable. The soot was minimal - we just used a towel to wipe off the railing and chairs to sit on so was not a real problem. Enjoy the suite - if it is your first suite on a Royal class ship be sure to learn about and partake in the suite benefits!

We stayed in this suite last year to Alaska. We never heard anything from the Vista Lounge. Had a little soot on the balcony on the last 2 days and the balcony is not really covered at all but still loved the suite! Wanted to book it for Alaska next year but was not available. ENJOY

Thank you edspec for the email address. Good idea about marking the door - will probably use picture of her support dog and will get a medallion holder that fits on her Apple Watch as she wears it all the time.Hopefully dining room staff will be helpful as she is very sensitive to food textures.

Such a great positive review. I am cruising next year with my special granddaughter. I did not know there was a special assistance department and I would like to contact them too. I could not find a link on line. Can someone please provide information on how to contact them.

I was in the starboard Owners Suite on Discovery last June and never heard anything from the lounge. The room is huge and the balcony is as well. Would book this room again in a flash!!!!

What Vista are you in now?

The balcony in E728 while not as large as D726 balcony was more than large enough for 2 lounge chairs, round table with 4 chairs and 2 more chairs. The balcony had very little overhang - much more overhang in D726. The owners suite itself is much larger in the "living room" side but is mostly wasted space in my opinion. Can't go wrong with either

My CVP called me about this a couple weeks ago - I told him no. There are different levels including suite and mini suite with differing deposits and "rewards"

Thrak If you look at 2024 Alaska cruises on Discovery the Premier suite comes up as available for 4. I know as I had one booked for 4. I have cancelled and booked differently.

Actually on the Discovery you can have 4 persons in a Premier Suite. They put a roll away in for the 4th passenger.

Mucinex DM helped me a lot for my cough, throat lozenges helped with sore throat, and advil - but I had a very mild case (not on board but the day after I got home)
