Upgraded myself...from OK to SJ

[legion3]

Just called and upgraded myself to an SJ suite on the Dawn

 

The kids still went free from the KSF promotion so the added cost while a bit :eek: spread out seems a bit more bareable.

 

That said will we like the SJ

 

Moved up from an obstructed view cabin.

 

What about cagn'ys for lunch and bfast?

 

anything else to know?

 

very excited...:D

Yes, you get Cagney's for breakfast and lunch. See Waldopepper's guide to the various suite category perks. The SJ is on 12 and will be down the hall the pool and farther down to the buffet. There is a library just before you go outside to the pool and up two floors is the outside bar.

Congratulations! You're going to LOVE the SJ! Now, as far as what else you should know...

 

Suite categories are designated by the letter “S,” followed by a number (Haven suites) or letter (Non-Haven suites). Stateroom categories not beginning with the letter S do not receive perks.

 

• Haven suites have access to the Haven regardless of where they are situated on the ship. The Haven has its own pool, hot tub, sauna, and sundeck. Some have their own restaurant and bar within the Haven complex. Some Haven's also have a retractable roof over the central area. Haven configuration varies based on ship class/generation

 

• All suites have complimentary access to a private restaurant for breakfast and lunch.

 

• All suites have Butler and Concierge service. The Concierge can assist with dining reservations, shore excursion booking and guidance in many other areas. He or she also provides delivery of invitations and information to the suite, and performs all escorts on and off the ship. The Butler provides delivery of daily amenities, meals en suite, replenishes coffee and other supplies, and oversees the maintenance of the suite. Gratuity should be based upon services provided.

 

• All suites receive invitations to a special cocktail reception with the Captain and other Officers.

 

• All suites receive priority embarkation {including express through security and check-in, as well as a private lounge with various amenities to enjoy while awaiting escort aboard} and disembarkation {which includes a private area to gather, and escort off the ship & directly to the VIP Luggage area and Porter Services}, as well as priority tendering.

 

• All suites receive one bottle of Sparkling Wine, one large bottle of water, a bowl of fresh fruit (replenished upon consumption) and a fresh flower arrangement in their suite. (Note: Garden Villas, Deluxe Owner's Suites and Owner's Suites receive Champagne instead of Sparkling Wine)

 

• Garden Villa's receive 6 bottles of alcohol with unlimited mixers, soda and water, while Deluxe Owner's Suites and Owner's Suites each receive 3 bottles of alcohol with unlimited mixers, soda and water. All other categories do not receive complimentary liquor.

 

• All suites are provided with a variety of Elemis brand toiletries.

 

• All suites are equipped with a Coffee/Cappuccino/Espresso Machine (Most are Lavazza pod-style machines), however the Sun has Lavazza machines in the Owner’s Suites, but drip-style coffee brewers in all other suites (these suites cannot accommodate these devices).

 

• All suites have access to the Pre-Cruise Concierge service, which helps to coordinate your individual selections on pillow types, coffee and tea preferences, and a variety of special requests.

 

• All suites (except the SG and SJ suites on Deck 12 of the Star and some suites on the Sun) have a portable phone, which can be used throughout the ship.

 

• All suites are equipped with the "Bliss Bed" which truly lives up to its name, fitted with upgraded bedding. Also provided with upgraded bathrobes, as well as slippers.

 

• All suites have an expanded Room Service menu. Essentially, order whatever you want, and if it is available on the ship you will have it.

 

• Some suites have access to a reserved section of the theater on some ships, based upon stateroom category, as well as other factors, which can vary from sailing to sailing.

 

That about covers the perks you will enjoy. If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

 

Enjoy every moment!

Cool!

 

:D

 

Been grinning from ear to ear since I pulled the switch...

[SeaShark]

anything else to know?

 

 

 

Just keep in mind that since you upgraded, instead of booking the suite outright from the beginning, that you will not be getting the extra point for Latitudes for booking a suite...unless you paid the full rate for the suite upgrade.

[Love my butler]

You went from steerage to first class. Gratz!

You will really enjoy your SJ suite! The almost floor length picture windows are awesome and the location is quiet. Which suite did you book? I ask because the running track was over a couple of the suites, but it may have been re-routed? Access to Cagneys for breakfast and lunch is one of the best perks ever. Wishing you a wonderful cruise!

Really excited 10 days to go!

Because of the stadium style sun bathing area from the pool deck up, there is no room to re-route the jogging track on Dawn class ships, it's there to stay.

 

To OP: You might have a slight obstruction of the view to the fwd of the ship because of the wing that is now the livingroom of one of the Deluxe Owner Suites (12002) but other than that, I can't think of anything negative about the suite you upgraded to - the views and location are great nevertheless. Have a great cruise!
