misspuss Posted September 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I know that positioning cruises are "no perks" but if we book a royal suite do we get the "privileges" of beverage packages, unlimited specialty restaurants, and bar set up? Does anyone have experience of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzzzinma Posted September 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2018 You would get the amenities associated with the Royal Suite - premium beverage package, unlimited specialties, laundry, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K12Guy Posted September 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 15, 2018 You 'should' get all the regular options of the Royal Suite. However, it's best to contact Celebrity directly and ask them to be sure those options apply to your sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WNcruiser Posted September 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) You will not get "go best" as you normally would with a suite, so no OBC or gratuities. You would get the normal Royal suite perks of premium bev package, specialty dining and bar setup.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Just read the fine print and the promo of free gratuities and OBC are for bookings on board. We booked a RS on a TA so in the end not sure what it will be worth as we will also by Zenith by that cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma Rene Posted September 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I don’t think beverage package. We cancelled Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare groryjm Posted September 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I don’t think beverage package. We cancelled Regardless of where a cruise is going an RS ( and PS) gets premium beverage, unlimited Internet and unlimited speciality along with bar set up and daily restocked fridge. These are for every one in the Suite so if there are 4 of you all four get Internet etc. These are part of the Suite and not an add on given as part of promotion to encourage booking. In the UK we don't get the better, best promos you get in the US and when perks are offered the price has usually risen to account for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma Rene Posted September 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Yes it is! I canceled after I spoke to Celebrity. I wanted a one price for the trip. They said no premium packages for suites on transatlantic. Maybe I spoke to the wrong Celebrity representative? I’d love to see the policy in writing. I’d gladly go!!!

Sent from my iPhone using Forums The reps can get a little confused at times re the drinks packages ‘included’ as part of the suite compared to drinks packages as a ‘promotion’ frequently offered to suite guests but rarely on a TA or a TP. So on a TP or a TA unless you are in a PH or RS you will not usually have a drinks package, hence the reason why Michael’s is often busier on these cruises.

Ox Fan Cruiser Posted September 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 16, 2018 We have only sailed 7 times so far with The Edge coming up in January. That cruise will be our 1st time in a suite. (Sky S3). 2 of our cruises were Trans atlantics. One on X & the other on NCL. NCL gave us perks. X did not. As far as I'm concerned. if X doesn't offer perks on TAs In the future we will look to Princess. We sailed them once and found it very close to X.

You definitely spoke to the wrong person. Those items attach to the suite. They have nothing to do with TAs, Go Best, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums You are definitely due a beverage package if you were booking a royal suite on a TA, I have to say I'm shocked that Celebrity just let an expensive booking like this go due to bad information on the part of reps. It sounds like you want to go, but want a bev. pkg included, definitely call them back. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
