Rare lorimay Posted August 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We're new to Regent but have cruised quite a bit. I got an offer from Regent to upgrade to from an F1 to an E (concierge) on our upcoming cruise on Grandeur for a really good price. I know it's a brand new ship so nobody knows what the internet is like yet and that basic wifi on the ship doesn't include streaming. My understanding of the concierge suites is that one of the perks is four logins/four devices instead of just one. Does it include streaming wifi? If not, does anyone know how much the upgrade to streaming is? We are heavy internet users and I always have to work while on vacation. Are there any other advantages to a concierge suite? We are within driving distance of the port so don't really need the pre-cruise hotel, although it would be nice. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RELS Posted August 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Check the location of the offered suite. Is it right under the pool deck? If you have motion sensitivity, is it low down and central enough to be comfortable? Those are the things I'd look at before "upgrading." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwn Posted August 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Same internet in all grades through out ship. Upgrade has been about $10 a day. My DH used to work at times on the ship. Sometimes regular internet was OK sometimes not. He paid for the up grade but it didn’t help much. All depended if it was a time when a lot of people were using the internet/ time of day and location of the ship. It is not like being at home. The new ship is scheduled to have Starlink which is supposed to be an upgrade. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pcardad Posted August 31, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2023 It is definitely getting Starlink and the others will follow quickly behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaj girl Posted August 31, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Don't waste your money on "streaming upgrade. " Doesn't make the wifi any faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaflamingo Posted August 31, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2023 One of the perks of a Concierge Suite is early booking of shore excursions and dining reservations. So if your cruise is more than a year out you can take advantage of that also. You only have to decide if the upgrade cost is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFr Posted August 31, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Since you’re embarking in Miami, you can decline the included hotel night and receive a discount of $150 per person. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb_bud Posted August 31, 2023 #8 Share Posted August 31, 2023 We book Concierge mostly for the logins. I also appreciate the in-suite coffee maker and my wife enjoys the cashmere shawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
