suite perks

[lucymorgan]

A couple of other Sky class perks that I don't think have been mentioned (they may have been mentioned and they may depend on the cruise/ship):

- we often get deliveries of chocolate coated strawberries, cheese platters or mini cakes etc on sea days

- we also get invitations to free tours of the bridge, the galley and/or the theatre.

- we have also been invited to lunch with the officers featuring the food of the specialty restaurants.

We are traveling on Harmony with my mother in law who has a grand suite. (sky class) Does anyone know for sure if we could get priority disembarkation with her since we are all driving together? Also, what breakfast is available the last day? Are suite guests allowed room service??

 

Thank you for the help!!

 

 

My wife and I were traveling in a GS on HOS and Checker and Jeremias were kind enough to let us bring them with us for disembarkation. They were staying in OV balconies. You should be able to walk off with the old lady.

As a small caveat or correction to something posted earlier, we sailed Harmony in April and we were told that they (at least on HOS) no longer offer free beer/wine throughout the day in the suite lounge except during the happy hour. We asked a couple times during the week and asked different bartenders each time, they kept telling us we needed a package or pay. There was still unlimited bottled water, canned soda, and fountain drinks throughout the day.

is there coffee and tea as well?? Thanks

[Tracey]

Indulge in in-room dining during breakfast, lunch, and dinner – simply order from our dining room menus

 

maybe that is the difference, ordering from dining room menu not the room service menu???

Free specialty coffee and regular tea 24 hours.

What, exactly, does complimentary luggage valet service get you?

What, exactly, does complimentary luggage valet service get you?

Luggage Valet is a service the cruise line provides that takes your bags directly from the ship and checks them in at the airport. You put your bags out on the last night of the cruise and the next time you see them is at baggage claim at your final destination. This service normally costs extra, but is free for guests in Grand Suites or better.

Ahh, ok, thanks Host Clarea. I've heard it called other things on other cruise lines. Will they take luggage to the train (in Seward) instead of the airport? We're using the cruise/train combo to get to Fairbanks to see our daughter there. This is our first Royal Caribbean cruise, and our first "real suite." We've had suites on the cruise line that sounds like a festival, but their suites are really just larger cabins, as there are no real perks to them, so I'm soaking up all the tips I can from the CC Boards.

I don't believe Royal offers the service in Seward.

[Nilbog]

Just my luck. That's ok, we're going to have a great time anyway! Thanks for the answers.

Am I the only one that has gotten a bottle of sparkling wine in the cabin every cruise? Always stayed in a GS.

[later]

Never gotten one and we always stay in suites. Are you D+ and do you have the sparkling wine set as a free gift?

 

Do you go through a travel agent that may give you the wine?

We are lowly Emeralds and any time we have stayed in a GS or higher, we have received a bottle of wine from the concierges and usually a plate of goodies. We usually book with RC direct or through a major wholesale retailer in most people’s cities.

I was on Symphony in June in a crown loft and was charged the room service fee every time. When I complained they told me this was the policy on Symphony even though it was different on other ships. We only ordered three times so I didn't make much of a stink about it after but it does seem this charge is reported consistently on Symphony guests from reading the board.

[jgoodm]

Do Star Class guests have the opportunity to keep their luggage in stateroom on the last night and get escorted with it when they disembark or do they also have to follow the standard procedure for luggage?

 

Also, if it can be carried off at disembarkation, I assume this means luggage valet to the airport is not a possibility?

 

Thanks.

[queenfrostine22]

Star class guests can keep their luggage in the cabin til morning(so nice!) when it will be picked up by an attendant. usually it is kept in the hall and then follows you and the genie off the ship and out to customs. I have never used luggage valet, so i don't know how it works.

One simple phone call to Royals post cruise customer service should get you the room service fees refunded.

Oasis was 1130 to 1100 and allure was 1100 to 1100 for suite lounge hours.

I’m sailing on Oasis in August. Does anyone know if it continues to offer 11am-11pm complimentary beer wine soft drinks and Water? The changes are concerning me [emoji2]

What ship/ships were these perks on? Have never been asked for bridge, galley or theatre tour for being in crown loft on oasis and allure.

 

Also have only been officers reception or sail away party on oasis and allure.

 

Are the perks you mentioned for gs and above on other class of ships?

From memory we have been invited to:

- bridge tours, galley tours and theatre tours on Voyager (sailing out of Australia)

- dinner at the Captain's table and galley tour on Brilliance (Baltic)

- lunch with the officers featuring specialty restaurant food on Jewel (Alaska)

- bridge tour, galley tour and theatre tour plus officers' reception on Anthem (Canada and New England).

- plus a few more

I may have some of these mixed up but I I think every time we have sailed in a suite (usually GS) we have had one or more of these. The invitations usually come from the concierge or the diamond club concierge either by printed invitation left in our room or phone message. They are not advertised as perks so cannot be 'expected' but are nice to receive.

 

We didn't have a suite when we sailed on Oasis. Perhaps Oasis and Allure are so big and/or have so many D+ and above that these perks are not so available.

[SRF]

We were in a GS on Grandeur last year, and I asked the Concierge about a bridge tour. It was arranged, and all suite guests were invited.

 

We got a plate of goodies every evening in our room. Several time, chocolate covered strawberries, one night a cake, and others cookies and once or twice savory snacks.

[rkkunk]

We were invited to a bridge tour when were on Harmony in May. We were in a CLS. We have stayed in a GS twice before on the Allure and were never invited. But then we were never told about luggage valet those two times either. We have been invited to the helipad sail away every time in a suite.

I was told the exact same thing more than once while on the Symphony in June and was informed once we returned that it is not the case and I was refunded all of my room service charges. I hope by now it is corrected.

When you were on the Harmony, was beer and wine complimentary from 11-11 or just at a certain time in the evening?

No. None of the above. Always book directly with Royal.

Yeah....That's kinda the way it has been for me. Three suites, three bottle of sparkling wine.
