Nieuw Amsterdam

Are there any extra perks for booking a superior or deluxe veranda suite over a regular veranda other than size? On Celebrity we got special seating at dinner and at the shows as well as priority boarding and exiting.

 

Thanks

Once in a Deluxe Suite, it's pretty difficult to use anything smaller on future cruises.
