BGY1962

Ok so I bit the bullet and upgraded (well that remains to be seen since I think I put us right under a pool, anyway not going to stress about that), and I just have a couple of questions for the experts that I can't seem to find answers to:

1.  Is there a suite lunch on embarking day?

2. On Mariner of the Seas is there reserved suite seating for ice show?

Thank you.

The only perks that are included in the Key but not covered by the Grand Suite is the lunch on embarkation day and the carry-on luggage drop at the theater.  To me, the upgraded suite far surpasses the lost Key perks.  If it were me, I would take the upgrade and get a refund on The Key.

Looks like I might - that will almost pay for my wave runner 🙂

Maybe the OP should go all the way to an Owner's Suite, with that separate, walk-in, shower stall.

I sure would have if it meant I would get refunded some cash😀. We did go for it. Even after the first customer service rep said I couldn’t then I called right back and rep said they didn’t know why I was told that and made the change with no problem. 

The tub tub may be inconvenient but I have no doubt it will work out. Mother’s first and probably only, cruise. 

So, we currently have a junior suite booked and a quick price check shows we can get a Grand Suite for only $20 more.  There are three of us staying in the room.  We have also reserved the Key (mostly for the disembarking feature and reserved seating as one of the guests cannot stand for long periods - we also would be getting internet anyway).  We are traveling with four other friends (regular balcony rooms).  I guess my question is, since the biggest perks involve the suite lounges, that we wouldn't be able to use much as we will be eating with our other friends, should I even bother with the upgrade?

We are on the Mariner in June and received reservation for Chill Island Cabana C.  Does anyone know if we have to add others to the reservation since we are sharing with two other cabins?
