Tesam Posted January 30, 2020 #4551 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Update on our royal up experience to a star suite. We have had dinner at both Izumi and 150 Park the last 2 nights. The chef at Izumi was the best we’ve ever had on land or at sea. The food and service at 150 Park was incredible. We did have to pay for our children who are not in our star suite at these 2 restaurants. Last night our Genie decorated our suite and had a large cake waiting for us after dinner to celebrate our sons graduation. Our Genie Marla has been amazing and if you are lucky enough to have her she will treat you and anyone traveling with you wether in a suite or not like royalty. We are traveling with a group of 22 and they have all fallen in love with her just because she is so friendly and nice. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what it telling me You get that error for any issue, including if you are not eligible to bid, even inside 30 days. We have plenty of reports of folks bidding outside of 30 days without an e-mail. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that is not the norm. We sail in April, the category I want has shown on the website as sold out the whole time until now, it is available but more than I am willing to pay. I'm happy with what we have now but will see if a Royal Up offer comes along. I'd be more worried about min bid going up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is included. Immune adult son and his girlfriend are in a balcony cabin so we had to pay for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted January 30, 2020 #4559 Share Posted January 30, 2020 All dining venues are included for Star Class. The only additional charge for any dining option when you are SC is a $25 PP charge for the upgraded wine. When going to Izumi hibachi you can order as many protein options and as many sushi add-ons as you wish at no additional charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bids accepted can come at anytime so i would say decide what you are willing to pay and bod that amount. I don't usually get my "denied" bid until 4-6 am the morning of. Expecting one for early tomorrow again. 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S904 Posted February 3, 2020 #4565 Share Posted February 3, 2020 10 Day Cruise - Currently Booked in Junior Suite - Voyager of the Seas Min bid is listed below. Only 2 of us travelling on our honeymoon. 5 port days 4 sea days. Royal Suite - $700 per person Owners Suite - $450 per person Grand Suite - 2 Bedroom - $200 per person Grand Suite - 1 Bedroom - $150 per person What's the play here?? Is it worth it for Grand v Owners? D+ first time in a Junior Suite, so going to love it either way. Super tempted by Royal Suite but really don't want to spend 1400$ Planning on going 250 for grand and 460 for owners. I think main question is owners worth it??

I get that... but looking for others experience in whether or not the room is worth the extra 150$ a person. Have they felt theyve utilized the space, etc. there arent any extra perks associated with it vs grand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted February 3, 2020 #4568 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Personally, I think $300 to go from a JS to a GS is definitely worth it - especially for your honeymoon and especially on a 9 night itinerary. You would get breakfast in one of the specialty restaurants (not sure which one Vision uses) every morning and you can have room service from the MDR menu delivered to your suite without service charge. You would also be able to take advantage of the nightly happy hour in the Concierge Lounge. Not to even mention the additional space, which is nice, for a GS. Full suites also get reserved seats in the Main Theater for nightly shows. You could pop into the CL any time (24 hours) and get specialty coffee (assuming the machine is up and running properly...). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 2 bedroom grand suite has two bathrooms! IMO well worth it- you both can get ready for the evening- the Owners suite (we had it), is a very large room IMO neither Grand nor owners suite worth it. The Royal suite is a real treat also- but expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to the restaurant to charge the non-SC folks in your party. Likely whoever ran the card at Jamie's decided not to charge. It isn't up to the Genie at all. I have experienced that this doesn't apply at all to the specialty dining in-room. They don't know or care who partakes in the consumption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy.We haven’t heard on our bid for Liberty on March 1st.... But, got the email today regarding exclusion of passengers having been in China OR possessing passport for those regions. Thinking, sadly for those people barred from traveling, if might open up the Suites. Bid on JS to GS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
