actuarian Posted July 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2019 My wife and I will be in a Panoramic Suite (room 1804) on the Navigator in August. Does anyone know whether we can expect to get a concierge letter before the cruise like people in Grand Suites get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted July 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The letters / email are not always sent. However, our experience has been that when the concierge does reach out to guests, it is during the cruise before our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbonfiber Posted July 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2019 As far as I know, this is not a full suite and gets no benefits except the best view on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting one in December for Adventure I know that there have been other posts that said that Panoramic Suites get all the same perks as Grand Suites. That may well be true but my wife and I already noticed one trivial difference: When we were in a Grand Suite, we received luggage tags that were marked "Suite". However, our luggage tags for the August cruise are instead marked "VIP". As I said, that difference is trivial but it does seem to mean that there is some kind of difference.

Maybe it was because the change was relatively recent, but it is definitely a full suite (and we paid lots more than those who purchased just before the change so pricing is reflecting the new status). But as to the tags, we had friends on our cruise last month who had VIP on their tags and they were in a 2 br grand suite and were also Pinnacles. Seems then as if VIP is likely at least an equal status? to the OP - Just email the concierge yourself if you don’t get an email. On our last cruise we received one but 2 couples we knew also in suites did not. If you are in the roll call for your cruise one of those cruisers could also forward it to you if you you do not get yours. Have fun! @Ashland we will try to keep it in tip top shape for you (we are in the exact suite at Thanksgiving 😬) Edited July 13, 2019 by 2Beeze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopebh Posted July 14, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 14, 2019 We just got off the Voyager and received full suite benefits in cabin 1854, including an email from the concierge the week before. We are officially spoiled.😀 And yes, the view was the best one on the ship which made it incredibly hard to leave for ship activities or meals. My better half thought he'd miss having a balcony but instantly fell in love with the room. We have another one booked on the Explorer next May after her dry dock. BTW - I read somewhere that we would be required to turn off our lights at night but never received any notification of that on the ship. We rarely turned on more than the television at night and I never asked the attendant so I don't know if it that is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! DH loves a balcony, usually the bigger the better (even though we don’t use it to a significant degree some days). But with this suite there is actually a huge “balcony” not many steps away (the ship’s deck) and a sun deck just above! But ssssssshhhhhh don’t tell our secret 😉 Edited July 15, 2019 by 2Beeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one in a similar facing cabin #8500 on Radiance...have had family in that cabin twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby didn't miss it all and when he felt the need to feel the wind, it really wasn't that far of a walk. I really thought that it would be too hot in SE Asia to actually sit out there often and I was right. I like when that happens. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it makes a difference but our cabin was two floors above the bridge whereas #8500 appears to be below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
