Tahina cruising Posted December 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I just booked my 4th cruise on Royal Caribbean and my first time in a suite. I don’t think I get any perks since it’s a junior suite, is that correct? Also, when do all of the excursions come out for the cruise? It’s October 20th, 2019. I saw one I want to do in St. Maarten but there are only some listed so far. The one I want to do isn’t one of them. Thank you for any help with this!

Clarea Posted December 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2018 No set time for excursions, dining, beverage packages, etc., to become available. Keep checking. If you mention the ship, we can tell you what you get with a Junior Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted December 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Here is your roll call. You can go there and see if others on the cruise are looking at any tours like the one you want. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2538914-10202019-freedom-of-the-seas-southern-caribbean/ Edited December 2, 2018 by ReneeFLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted December 2, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I really wish they would change the name of this category to avoid the confusion since you do not get any full suite perks. It's an oversized balcony cabin that gives you double C&A points, full size tub, small walk in closet and bath robes. Whatever you do, don't upgrade to a full suite. I made that mistake and now the wife expects one every cruise. LoL We leave on Freedom next weekend and she still thinks we are in a regular balcony cabin.

I already get double points for being a single in a double occupancy room. I agree, they should change the name. I did actually book it for the space though 😉 Lol. I hope you can find good deals on the suites you’ll have to book from now on 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahina cruising Posted December 2, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Now my solo friend (I'm meeting a couple and a solo female traveler) who I'm going on the cruise with wants to look into a Grand Suite with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. But I need to make sure about a few things before I even call for a price. Is it actually 2 bedrooms or is it just a curtain separating the beds? Would we each get double points? We would get free room service with this category? What other perks would we get with a Grand Suite? And darn it, I wish I knew about triple points in a Junior suite as a solo before I changed it to a balcony room.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 2, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hey... a JS is a great cabin! You do get Priority boarding...and you're getting a great space without that high "suite" price! A GS is just basically 1 big room...yes, a curtain separates the areas. If you want 2 separate spaces (with a door) you'll need an OS. GS and above get the "suite perks" which is (monetarily) free drinks during cocktail hour. Weight the price of drinks for 2 hours against the cost of the suite.

So does that have separate rooms or just curtains and do we get the suite perks in that category? Both my friend and I are currently paying double to be a single in a room. If the price of the suite is more than what I'm paying for my balcony room for just me, we won't do it. Plus I usually get the drink package.

Yes on both counts. 2 separate bedrooms and double points with suite lounge access and all suite perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I just read somewhere that there is a minimum of 5 people required to book this category. Does any one know if that is true? It seems to sometimes be called the Royal Family Suite.

SRF Posted December 4, 2018 #25 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If you want that on a particular cruise, book other cabins, and keep looking. Especially right around final payment. They can pop open. But they are few. Grandeur has 4. 2 along the side, and 2 aft corners (which are AMAZING cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
