nolesrule Posted August 14, 2017 #76 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just to add another data point which may or may not mean anything. The VP rooms come up if you select to book a "refundable deposit (junior suite only)". That's on Adventure of the Seas August 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ready2cruz Posted August 14, 2017 Author #77 Share Posted August 14, 2017 JS Perks on Explorer: Bathtub Walk-in closet Priority check-in and boarding Tea kettle and coffee maker Bathroom amenities Robes Extra C&A point per night Silver Seapass card The tea kettle and coffee maker will definitely be a plus! Hubby only drinks decaf black tea which is sometimes difficult to find on the ship. Do we bring our own coffee or will it be provided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atwork630 Posted November 8, 2017 #79 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm really surprised nobody has sailed the room and have an answer about 4 pages of talk. This is an exact example of this being a wasted thread. I have been in the panoramic room on the Navigator of the Seas and I did have a gold colored badge. I just did not know what it was. I thought it was because I was a gold member. Last year on the liberty I was in a regular port hole and had a blue badge. I started asking question and found it was not a member thing but a room thing. So I have the Panoramic room coming up again soon so I was researching the perks when I came across here. We will see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how it goes. The reason nobody has an answer is: It looks like they have re-classified these staterooms as suites starting 14-May-2018. So, even if people have had this stateroom in the past, it was categorized as a Family Panoramic Ocean View (PF) and not an Oceanview Panoramic Suite (VP). No one will know 100% what suite perks these cabins will come with until the first sailing with the new category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DandDM Posted December 11, 2017 #86 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I just got home today out of the panoramic room on the liberty of the seas and no suite perks. As the change isn’t expected until May, I’m not surprised. Was there any discussion onboard about the change?

HicksRA Posted December 11, 2017 #87 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I believe the only ones that will be a Suite are the two larger family panoramic cabins in the center - 1804 and 1854. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hearts4me Posted December 11, 2017 #88 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Both 1804 and 1854 will be considered suites after May 2018. When I booked they were under the suite category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 1804 on April 8, 2018 on Liberty and it is still considered a non suite at that time so no extra points for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted December 11, 2017 #95 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Here is a different way of thinking on those cabins switching to suites in 2018. When people have called the reps have been saying they will get full suite bennies. But the discussion on here has been leaning towards JS bennies as the price is too low. Maybe they will get full bennies with the lower price as the cabin has NO balcony? Just a thought. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess has ‘window suites’ in some of their ships which are priced at a pretty good discount to their balcony suites, but have full suite bennies.

Rare DandDM Posted January 8, 2018 #97 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Update - with gratuities going up, thought I would pre-pay them - primarily to see what amount I would be charged. . .my TA assessed the non-suite gratuity cost. At my request, he called Royal to double check and the answer he got it that if I pay now, I will be "grandfathered" in if a future category change results in the higher grats. So don't know why I'm posting this as that ambiguous answer was probably worse than no answer! Wait, actually there could be a valid purpose to this post: if you are booked in the Ocean Panoramic Suite after May, and the cabin really does get classified as a full suite, you can save $4 per day, per person, by pre-paying your gratuities.

atwork630 Posted January 16, 2018 #100 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So I did not get double points. I didn't even get my points lol. I had to call them. Last night I booked another cruise in September in the same category. Could not get front and center but I just love these rooms. I still don't think the regular panoramic rooms are anything special. Maybe the 2 family panoramic rooms get the suit category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
