Suite Questions For 1st Timer

[Luv06012012]

We are Platinum and are very excited to be doing a couple of firsts next year. First time doing a b2b (different ships) and first time in a suite. Panoramic suite on Navigator to be specific. These cruises will leave us one cruise away from Diamond! [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

 

My question is...other than double points, what are the perks of having a suite? Thank you!!!!

You will have access to coneirge lounge (navigator does not have suite lounge) which has free drinks from 4:30 to 8pm , I really loved reserved pool seating which is close to pools, concierge will walk you off the ship at disembarkation. Concierge can make reservations at restaurants, you also get a made to order breakfast at chops and limited lunch also at chops. Reserved seats for all the shows including ice show which can be crowded. We have done suites on navigator 3 times and always loved it. I sure I forgot something

Wow!!!! I’m so glad I asked...that’s more than I ever would have thought. Do they advise you of all of this? How often is the Chops breakfast? You just got me even more outrageously excited!!!

Chops breakfast is everyday except last day, we really try to make that , great way to start the day, our concierge was also great. There is also a PlayStation so you can play dvds .

You will have access to coneirge lounge ...

Is the Panoramic Suite a full suite? I thought I read that it was like a JS as far as perks.

Yes, it's a new category being added to Voyager and Freedom class ships.

[Luv06012012]

I know there is different perks depending on suite class...since this is totally new for us I have no idea what the differences are.

 

Anyone know for sure what a panoramic suite qualifies as?

 

No worries whether the info is right or not George...we are thankful and excited no matter what!

If I remember correctly someone posted that they got a silver seapass card. I think that answered the question.

Yes, same perks as a JS.

Great views from the floor to ceiling windows...but no balcony.:)

Seems like it's the same as JS perks:

 

 

Priority check-in and boarding

Tea kettle and coffee maker

Bathroom amenities

Robes

Extra C&A point per night

Silver Seapass card (no other function besides disinctive color)

That sounds wonderful !. We have a J3 Suite for the first time on Navigator and from replies I have seen on this site it would appear that a J3 Suite does not qualify for any of the above 'perks'.

Apologizing for horning in on your thread. We will be in a Grand Suite on Indy in November. Our first time on RCCL. Will they leave a listing of all of these benefits in the cabin or something? Or do they send something home before we leave? Thanks in advance.

You would normally have a letter in your stateroom when you arrive listing your perks. It's also possible to get a pre-cruise email from the concierge with a list of perks.

I hadn’t booked the All Access Ships Tour because I heard one was offered to suite guests. Can you tell me if that is true? If not, I guess I should book it while I still can.

The tours offered for free to suite guests are not as extensive as the all-access tour. Suite guests can normally get a bridge and galley tour for free.

[furloughedagain]

Thank you Clarea. The bridge is really all I wanted to see. I’ll save my money. [emoji1]

Make sure you speak to the Concierge early in the cruise and express your interest in the bridge tour.

Not the same tour at all. They run about 45 minutes total and will either be the bridge or the galley.

Are these perks for any suite or for Sky and Star levels only?
