Jdcmia68 Posted October 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Ok folks. Im new on here and have finally joined after reading everyone's advice and tips for cruising. We are avid NCL cruisers and not to sound spoiled love NCL suites and haven and it's all we booked except for one time. But we are trying Princess for the first time on 12/11 in the owners suite. Other than what they list on the company website is it fair to expect non-published perks? We are "zero" status with Princess and when you book the suites on NCL we have a cockatail hour for a suite guest then later in the cruise another cocktail hour for gold and platinum guest and so on.....does that happen for suite guests on princess? Also looks like no butler? So everything is ordered through "regular" room service? Last question...sorry first timer on here....no coffee makers in the suite? So each morning you have to get dressed and go get coffee as we sit on that massive balcony in the owners suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted October 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2016 The far better place for your research would be the Princess board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=197 That being said, many people will say NCL probably has the best top line suite experience in the mass market cruise lines.

Rare Host Anne Posted October 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I agree with Bruce. You'll get quicker (and likely better) answers if you post this question on the Princess boards. Welcome to Cruise Critic and enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted October 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Ok folks. Im new on here and have finally joined after reading everyone's advice and tips for cruising. We are avid NCL cruisers and not to sound spoiled love NCL suites and haven and it's all we booked except for one time. But we are trying Princess for the first time on 12/11 in the owners suite. Other than what they list on the company website is it fair to expect non-published perks? No 'non-published' perks We are "zero" status with Princess and when you book the suites on NCL we have a cockatail hour for a suite guest You will be invited to the daily cocktail hour (actually 2 hours) for elite, platinum and suite guests. Drinks are not free ($5 per drink from a list of about 7 special drinks) and the hor d'oeuvres offerings change daily then later in the cruise another cocktail hour for gold and platinum guest and so on.....does that happen for suite guests on princess? Also looks like no butler? No butlers on any Princess ship So everything is ordered through "regular" room service? Yes. Make sure your steward provides you with the daily MDR menus since full suites are the only cabins that have that perk. Room service brings all the courses at once plus linens for your table. Last question...sorry first timer on here....no coffee makers in the suite? No. So each morning you have to get dressed and go get coffee as we sit on that massive balcony in the owners suite. In the morning your options are the Concierge Lounge, the International Cafe, Horizon Court buffet and, of course, room service. I concur with everyone's advice to check the Princess Board but I've answered based on my experience in a Owner's Suite on the Royal Princess and experience in a a number of other suites across the Princess fleet.

Rare Host Anne Posted October 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2016 CruiserBruce posted a link for you in the post under your original question. That should take you there. And JimAOk reposted the link for you. Hopefully you've made your way over to Princess. ENJOY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
