In addition to more room, is there any benefits when having a mini suite?

[mom23guys]

Just booked a mini on Royal because we wanted a bigger room with a sofa and bigger bathroom. Are there any perks that come with a mini suite/ Different line on embarkation, anything?

TIA

[shredie]

Tub. Sofa. I think that's about it.

[lv2cruiseanywhere]

Only a glass of Champagne (something I don't drink) and the added bathroom space.

[waltd]

Just a bit bigger cabin. But for a longer trip we felt it was worth it.

[Mom33]

2 TVs :D

[Coveguy4]

Also 2 TV's, but the extra space and tub/shower is so worth it

Better quality towels?? We didn't get anything different as far as towels on our Star cruise last year. The extra space was nice.

So, after all these answers, no, you don't qualify for priority embarkation. Only full suites do, along with a host of other perks, but then fares are so much more expensive than mini-suites..

Concur with Happiness as to the couch inclusion. That's where you will experience the added sq. ft. and comfort The balcony cabins only offer a single lounge chair, while the mini-suite offers the couch (queen-size sleeper) and a lounge chair. That is really nice if you want to snuggle and read, talk, or watch TV (on the second TV), and not have to sit on your bed to do so. We've enjoyed the bath / shower combo, not so much as to using the bath portion, but as to the additional space in taking showers. The shower-only could be a "tight fit" for us big & tall folk!

We like the additional storage space you get with the unit the sitting room tv sits on - nice to have those extra shelves. Haven't sailed the Royal yet, so don't know if that configuration is still in place.

We love the mini suite for the extra cabin space and especially the larger bathroom.

 

That said, on our Royal sailing, we are trying the deluxe balcony. It includes a sofa, and we enjoy that seating area on the mini for reading and room service. Don't know what we will think of it until we sail next June!

We also opted for the deluxe balcony on the Royal. It was great having a seating area. We found it to be a good compromise; getting more room while avoiding the higher rates for the mini.

That' s one thing that most of the other cruise lines have over Princess, they have a sofa in every balcony room. RC even has sofas in the interior and ocean view rooms.

And, not mentioned yet. You have a chance, small but a chance, to be upgraded to a full suite. Don't forget to put out a lolly pop for the upgrade fairy. If this does not happen, then you put out the wrong flavor.:D

Hi,

 

We had a mini-suite on the new Regal Princess in June and greatly enjoyed it. We were originally booked in a standard balcony stateroom, but we received an offer a few weeks prior to the cruise to upgrade to a mini-suite for a very reasonable price. Besides the additional space inside the stateroom, our room had one of the angled balconies under the SeaWalk that was significantly larger than a standard balcony.

Are robes included in mini-suites?

[LoriPhil]

Yes - they are the standard "waffle" robes that are available in all cabins.

Are robes included in mini-suites?

Request in the Personalizer. Don't be surprised if they don't fit.

We were upgraded to a mini on our Royal Christmas cruise. This was our 1st mini and we enjoyed the larger bathroom the most. The extra space was also nice when 2 people are getting ready in the morning and before dinner.

The small balcony was crammed with furniture (2 chairs, 2 foot rests and large table) making it difficult to more around.

[vinoblanco]

Yes - they are the standard "waffle" robes that are available in all cabins.

 

This time on Coral, our steward brought us big fluffy, ribbed bathrobes and matching towels. So much nicer than waffle. Of course he got a Christmas prezzie.

Are robes included in mini-suites?

Yes but they're mini robes. :rolleyes::D

[Talisker92]

We opted for the minisuite on our B2B South American cruise. In our trip story, at the beginning, I included pictures of both the balcony and mini suite to give a comparison.

It was well worth it on a 31 day cruise!
