Rare go.without.you Posted October 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'm sailing next month on Reflection and am wondering how the check in is set up for suite guests. I've sailed Edge before and used that wonderful Retreat lounge but since another E class is boarding that day it will get the good lounge. Do they take Retreat guests to a lounge in the other terminals or are the lines just split up like pre covid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted October 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 17, 2022 If I'm remembering correctly from this past January, there is a "lounge" of sorts. Basically it is just a little separate seating area with a few soft drink options. I recommend not getting there too early so you can just board the ship.

Jeremiah1212 Posted October 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2022 We departed from T29 on Reflection in April. There was a suite entrance that led you to an area they had roped and draped off with some drinks and pastries along with some seating. We were in that area checking in for less than 5 minutes so we didn't even need to sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were able to get the last 2 seats at the bar area and then boarded at 11. I was just curious since the other terminals aren't special, thanks.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted October 17, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The only terminal with a true lounge is Terminal 25. The other terminals have a small roped off area with seat adjacent to the check in counter. There will be a large Flag directing you to the Suites and Zenith entrance. Just checked and for the remainder of 2022 Reflection is scheduled for Terminal 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a posting on a Zenith FB page where the person was saying that perk has been eliminated. I'm hoping not as I just earned Zenith! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been assuming we will be in T25 to board. I guess they don't want to make it difficult for parking.

My recent cruise last month they had a big banner flag out front of the left hand door that said Suites and Zenith. I'll take a look at the FB page. Would be good to ask others on the Zenith Group as what one person experience may not be the official policy. If not able to confirm call the Zenith desk and ask.

Yes, I saw that, so disappointed. I thought when I checked a month ago it showed Reflection at T25 on the 31st. Oh well, a new experience. Just glad they have a suite's line. I will say that the PE schedule is not always accurate. Our last cruise on Silhouette they showed her at another terminal but the shore side concierge insisted it was sailing from T25. The concierge was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing someone penciled in 29 for all of the Reflection sailings. Highly subject to change. My bets would be on 25. Our Reflection sailing last November changed terminals 3x in the 24 hours before boarding. We must be among the few who prefer 29 over 25. No suite for us, and find the cavernous waiting area dreadful and chaotic. Sailed from 29 twice in the past year on Reflection and it was a walk-on dream. No arrival-time queues, no long wait inside. 5 min through the detector line, a quick check with the staff, and we were onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely more than a flash of our passports to an agent, and off we went. Minimal lines. Sailed 2x from 29 and 1x from 25 this past year.

Oceangoer2 Posted October 18, 2022 #21 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) I can't remember sailing out of terminal 18....is there a big difference between ports other than the Edge embarkation? Edit 1: Just googled and saw the pics....a BIG difference. #18 doesn't look very hospitable. Edit 2: Did a search on this CC site and found much better pics. Seems #18 was designed for RCL large ships. Looks much friendlier with people in the pics...LOL. Edited October 18, 2022 by Oceangoer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real negative to 29 is the distance from the parking structure for those who drive in. There is a shuttle that seems to work well enough. No complaints from friends who drove/shuttled to 29. 25 is pretty much across the street from the structure and is very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a Silhouette cruise was scheduled for 25 when got to the port there were signs for both 25 and 18.. Went to 25 first out of hope to find it totally deserted.
