What do you get with a suite on the POA besides a butler?

When checking in there is a special room to sit and have cookies and drink. Then you are escorted to a special dining room for lunch. You use that dining room for breakfast every day. If you are a coffee drinker it has the best— French pressed. Our waitress was so good and brought our coffee to the table first thing every day when she learned that is what we wanted! Fresh fruits in room every day if you tell your butler what you want.

Suites on all NCL ships have the same services: Separate boarding area, escorted boarding (around the lines). Each suite has a butler. You have a concierge (more than one on the larger ships) who can help with anything from dining reservations to shore excursions. On the POA you have a separate dedicated restaurant for Breakfast and Lunch. At the end of the cruise you have escorted disembarkation.

 

The butler can do as much or as little as you want. He/she will bring afternoon snacks and keep your espresso supplies topped up. You can order meals in your cabin that will be setup and served by the butler. You can make special snack requests, and bar orders through the butler. If you think if it, just ask...they'll tell you if they can or cannot provide the service. In our opinion, NCL does suite life the best of the mass market cruise lines.

Re: suite life on the NCL Pride

Is bottled water included? What about liquor?

 

Bottled water (unlimited) is only for the OS and the one DOS. You will get one sparkling wine in the suite (OS and DOS get one champagne and 3 bottles of wine from a list on POA). That is different than the rest of the fleet due to Hawaiian laws.

 

Cagneys is the place for B/L. Unlike other NCL ships, they don't let you order form Cagneys into your room for B/L but you can off the regular room service menu.

 

Also, priority tender. Flowers in room. 13 is quiet floor unless you have the aft facing (facing pool) balconies can be noisy.

 

Go down to 12 via stairs in your area and Key West Bar is there and light snacks at times.

Combined with our dining package we had our butler serve us dinner on our balcony, during sunset over Kona Bay while the ship was anchored.

 

It was La Cucina and it was fabulous. He brought in the cart with all of the courses, set up the white tablecloth and place settings and then when we were stuffed to the gills, he came back and cleaned up after us!

I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if someone knew whether the Penthouses are considered "suites" for purposes of making dining reservations?  Will we be able to make them at 130 days out if we are booked in a Penthouse, or do we need to wait until 120 days out?  Thanks.

Yes, they are.
