depplep Posted February 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2017 This next cruise will be the first time we've sailed in a suite and I want to surprise my husband. I can't remember if at check in they confirm your cabin category? After all the cruises I've been on you would think I would remember. Is it possible to keep this a surprise until we reach the cabin?

casinostreer Posted February 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2017 They will give you a gold Seapass card. That might be the dead give away. :-( What a wonderful surprise. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy767300 Posted February 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Does a JS also get a gold card or is it only a GS and up ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirstyCruiser Posted February 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Junior Suite gets a Silver Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If he's anything like my hubby, he won't even NOTICE the card color. They don't really mention what kind of cabin you're in....I mean, they aren't going to say, " OH my....you are booked in a wonderful GS!"....they will just say "Welcome aboard"...that's all. Now, our JS's have always had "suite" on the luggage tags...the "work around" is to just get tags from the porter. They will write your cabin NUMBER on the tag...not the type of cabin.

Clarea Posted February 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Junior Suite gets a Silver Card. If it's Allure, it will be a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted February 10, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted February 10, 2017 We're in a junior suite. We just get our tags from the porter and no, my husband won't remember what color the Sea Pass card will be. I couldn't remember if they confirm the cabin category and number when they take your credit card and hand you the Sea Pass or just say" Welcome back, I see you are Diamond members." I did this once to him at the Bellagio in a Penthouse Suite with limo pickup at the airport. The look of dumbfoundedness (?) on his face was priceless.

The terminal personnel will look at your SetSail pass and say "Oh suite, right this way". You will also be sitting in the suite waiting area.

ThirstyCruiser Posted February 11, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks, I didn't even think about sitting in the suite area. Oh well, I guess that's where the surprise begins. Maybe, maybe not. When we sailed in a Suite on Harmony, it was our first time in a Suite. Walked into the terminal and the first dunce directed us to the regular line. My wife questioned if there was a special line, the dunce said no. We walked back outside and asked someone out there and they escorted us to the Suite entrance. So you might be able to keep the charade going to and thru boarding. Maybe you keep the SetSail passes you print at home and just have a slip of paper on top that says "Please direct us to the regular line - trying to keep the suite a surprise!"

Robb Posted February 11, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I surprised my husband with the giant Royal Suite a couple of years back. He does not want to handle any of the arrangements so it was not too hard to surprise him. When we got to the double door entry he asked if I was sure. I really enjoyed it. :D:D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted February 11, 2017 #16 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We could have tags that say suite, be sitting in suite check in, get different colored key cards, and have a personal escort and my hubby would still be clueless until the door opened. Have fun!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayMaineCruiser Posted February 11, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Another tip, don't use his email address in the booking. I was trying to surprise my wife with a suite and it was all going well until we both got the welcome, pre-cruise email from the concierge.

depplep Posted February 11, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks guys, these are all great tips. I like the idea of writing on our Set Sail Pass to alert the person at check in. I'm even paying for this on my credit card so that he won't see the total come out of the checking account and question it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStation46 Posted February 11, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Thanks, I didn't even think about sitting in the suite area. Oh well, I guess that's where the surprise begins. Great surprise nonetheless! I am doing the same for DW on our April cruise. She may be expecting a JS but this cruise may put the WOW! back in the game for sure as we will be in a Crown Loft Suite. Enjoy your cruise! Edited February 11, 2017 by FireStation46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketMan275 Posted February 11, 2017 #23 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Thanks, I didn't even think about sitting in the suite area. Oh well, I guess that's where the surprise begins. Perhaps you might want to tell him you booked a Junior Suite? The larger suite would be the surprise and if he hears "suite" then he might think nothing about it.

SharkCruiser24 Posted February 11, 2017 #24 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I love surprises! I upgraded my dad once, but while he was doing his online check in he called and asked why we were on a different deck... This time around I'm surprising my boyfriend, he hasn't got a clue!! Even if he finds out at check in, it will still be a great moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsjustmyface Posted February 11, 2017 #25 Share Posted February 11, 2017 If anything happens to be a giveaway, I'm not sure how much your husband pays attention to the booking details, but I'd just shrug and say something like, "Oh, hm, I guess they consider balconies a suite now. HAHA." It would work for mine at least. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
