Cabin Category Question for Experienced Celebrity Cruisers?

[stones902]

Question for those experienced in all things Celebrity. Normally we sail RCI but we are thinking of giving X a try for our anniversary this fall. Celebrity labels their cabins differently than RCI and I'm not sure that I understand all the differences.

 

We are considering the Constellation (Millennium Class) specifically either a Concierge Suite or Royal Suite.

 

I know that the Royal is considered a higher category, a bit larger and probably a few more nice surprises, but is the $ really worth it? Willing to splurge a bit for our special occasion but I don't necessarily want to waste money either.

 

Would love to hear your opinions on differences between the two. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Do you mean a Celebrity suite? Concierge cabins are just slightly larger balcony cabins. . .

There are no Concierge Suites-they are balcony rooms which on Millennium class are very slightly larger than a standard balcony room.

 

They come with a few little perks such as a bottle of sparkling wine in your stateroom on embarkation day and extra cruise credits.

 

A royal suite is the second largest suite onboard with separate bedroom, guest bathroom and hot tub on the veranda.

 

A royal suite also comes with a butler.

There are only 4 suite categories on the "M" class ships:

Sky Suite

Celebrity Suite

Royal Suite

Penthouse Suite

As stated above, a concierge cabin is just a larger veranda with some extra perks.

The price difference between that and a RS are quite significant.

There is no guest bathroom in the royal suite on m-class.

The bathroom is one very nice sized one with double sinks, a jetted tub, and a separate shower stall.

Apologies if I got that wrong.

 

I wonder which suite I've seen which does have the guest bathroom.

 

Penthouse suite or am I thinking of something on one of the Solstice class ships?

Yes Celebrity suite. I'm comparing suites. My bad.

S class Royals have Guest bath, M class do not.

 

Only real difference between celebrity and royal on M class (now that they added balconies to the celebrity suites during returns recently) is the whirlpool on royal suite balcony.

 

On S class, another difference would be Royal Suite has table for dining in cabin, Celebrity Suite does not. On M class, both have inside dining table.

 

On M class, I say save the money and go celebrity suite rather than royal. On S class, splurge for the royal.
