Check in does not change. 

[Lionesss]

Depending on what port you board at. Suites can check in and board one hour earlier  but depends on port openings times. 

[George C]

Agree suites can check in within a hour of there assigned boarding time.

Congrats! Was this the Royal Up?

[rfs7306]

Yes it was Royal up. Went from a aft balcony to 2 Bedroom Grand Suite. Balcony in grand suite is not as spacious but having 2 bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms and having some extra privacy I'm happy. I am taking this cruise with my daughter for Mothers Day. We planned this for 10 years.

Slightly different question.  We're in a GS and will be visiting Coco Cay. Does anyone know if there's a private suite area like in Labadee?

Congratulations to everyone who won their upgrade

Enjoy the Concierge lounge. It's been awhile since we cruise on Royal, and I see now Diamond get 4 drinks and D+ get 5 on your card to use anytime any where. 😁

[rfs7306]

Please explain what you are saying. Is this only for Diamond members or Elite?

Suite Guest have access to the Concierge Loung or Suite Lounge, depending on the class of ship you are sailing on.  There are usually free beer, wine, and well drinks for a couple of hours each afternoon/early evening in these lounges.

I think they are conflating the Suite Lounge with the Diamond lounge. 

 

Guests who are staying in suites such as your Grand Suite have access to a lounge which is known as the Suite Lounge or Concierge Lounge (depending on the ship). In this lounge during happy hour you will receive free drinks and hors d'oeuvres. 

 

Guests who are in the Crown and Anchor Society and have a level of Diamond or higher have access to a Diamond Lounge. They receive free drinks in the Diamond Lounge during happy hour. However the Diamond Lounges were getting too crowded so they started giving the members vouchers which are good at most bars on the ship. Originally the vouchers were only good during happy hour, now you can use them any time. Diamond members get vouchers for 4 drinks and Diamond Plus members get 5 drinks.

Yes - the inventory you see may not be the complete picture and lots of things can happen in the last week before the sailing to free up more inventory.

I hope you guys have a wonderful time.  I think you will be pampered and that's a good thing.  Cheers

I won a RoyalUp recent for a cabin that was sold out until like 2 weeks prior. When we got on board there was all sorts of medical equipment staged in the room. Of course then I wondered what kind of tragic event caused the original occupants to have to cancel

No suite area- However I would suggest that you book the Royal  Beach Club.  It costs but so worth it.  Great food and comfortable seating.
