Move up to GS from J4?

[M5M]

We could upgrade for about $270 total  from Royal Adventure of the Seas J4 to a Grand Suite.  You get some lounge perks with the GS, but we are Diamond so think we get those perks from our loyalty status.  However, I know some the lounge situation have changed so wanted current information as to what we might expect.  Thanks!

The suite lounge perks are separate from your Diamond vouchers.

 

For $270, that's a no brainer upgrade.

I would upgrade for $270 for the space alone.

What they said. 
 

you get a wider balcony. Larger bathroom.  Suite lounge. 
 

Some of the other gold card benefits may be minimized with Covid like priority show seating.  Depends on the ship.

Only $270...total for the two of you...do the math pp per day...crazy not to take that offer.

i just got this email yesterday for our sailing in a RS. Your benefits should be similar for a GS. So it looks like lots of the benefits are still going strong.  For $270 it is a slam dunk

• Make sure to pack a smart casual outfit, as that’s our dress code in the lounge at all times.
• In the Lounge, coffee and tea are available throughout the day.  Each evening, between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm, hors d'oeuvres, petit fours and complimentary wine, spirits, beer, and soft drinks are available for our Suite guests

Which GS or OS and which ships have DVD players?

[Merion_Mom]

As a solo cruiser, *I* would pay $270 to go from JS to GS.  For two of you, it's "half" that.  

 

So, HELL YEAH.
