SeaMee Posted November 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I am another cruiser who hasn't been on a Royal cruise in years. Booking family cruise for the fall. We are all in Grand suites. Can you tell me what perks are included? I know Coastal kitchen. Also, my son is Diamond but his bride is not. So he gets 5 drinks a day, but not her?

Rare twangster Posted November 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Since you mention Coastal Kitchen you must be on Oasis, Quantum or Icon class. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-rooms/royal-suite-class https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-are-the-benefits-of-royal-suite-class Grand Suites are "Sky" class.

mousemom11 Posted November 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2023 3 minutes ago, SeaMee said: Coastal kitchen Coastal Kitchen is the restaurant. I believe you are referring to the Suite Lounge. Wine and beer are available for free all day there (starting at 11 am I think). Free appetizers and cocktails are available during happy hours, which can vary. Generally around 5-8 pm.

George C Posted November 30, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Not impressed by bartenders in harmony suite lounge , extremely weak drinks , they try to give you cheaper wines and liquor. Only night that was crowded was first rest were fine , there is only 5 barstools and we were able to get seats except for first night. WiFi which is free with grand suite on oasis class has been pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better than chops in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better than chops in my opinion I doubt anything in CK would be as good as something from chops , so far we had a excellent filet for both lunch and dinner and will definitely go back for at least one more dinner . Apparently they allow all pinnacles in CK first night after that just top 30 percent. We also enjoyed Jamie’s and will do that again tonight. CK for breakfast and lunch is mediocre so far . ( we have had issues with chops on other ships but so far on harmony it’s been great , also love that they have there red wines slightly chilled), in past happy hour was always 5 to 8 on harmony this week it’s 4:30 to 7:30 Edited November 30, 2023 by George C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they give you what you ask for, within the limits of what they have available? i doubt they have a full bar set up for free drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had fairly large selection, had several Hennessy every day and they had makers mark etc, my wife asked for a wine and was told it wasn’t covered , then I asked another bartender how much over the limit and was told a dollar, I told him we will pay the dollar.

George C Posted December 1, 2023 #16 Share Posted December 1, 2023 One very minor point is you only have to show towel person by pool that your in a suite and they don’t make you sign out for them, i guess they think we will not try to steal there pool towels 😁😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds normal. I don’t understand your original comment - it sounded as though supplies were restricted and you were unable to get what you preferred.

George C Posted December 1, 2023 #18 Share Posted December 1, 2023 The problem was just that first day when all the tables were full and bar area was standing room only , rest of the week was fine but bartenders wouldn’t pour doubles like we can get on celebrity, they were friendly and appreciated our tips with every drink.

TeeRick Posted December 2, 2023 #20 Share Posted December 2, 2023 We are staying in Feb in a Crown Loft suite on Symphony. Can we make our CK reservations for dinner at the dining time we want prior to the cruise? Or do we have to board and hope for the best times available if not taken already? I seem to recall when we sailed Harmony (in 2019) also in a CL, a suite concierge contacted us prior to the cruise by email. Does this still happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed only Celebrity post-pandemic and not RCCL. This will be our first time since that Harmony cruise. No reservations needed for Luminae on Celebrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying a concierge will contact me? Someone told me it would be a week before the cruise, and that was today. While we do eat late, I'd hate to have to eat in open seating main dining because I couildn't get in to Coastal Kitchen (which is advertised as a perk of my room).
