Change to suite perks

Hi,

I was just wondering if there has been a change to suite perks on Voyager of the seas. I just received my concierge email and it states that only breakfast and dinner menus are available for room service dining (not lunch) and breakfast only is available in chops (again not lunch). There was also no mention of complimentary DVD and video game hire. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed these changes.

Thanks.

We've never had a cooked to order lunch option in Chops, only a place to bring WJ food in. We never did, since the tables were already set for dinner and we felt bad. And on EN there wasn't even breakfast offered. I think every ship runs things slightly differently.

The last cruise, the suite didn't have a DVD player at all( LIB) and there definitely has never been a video game system to borrow games for. Just ask the Concierge about board games.

Don't forget lunch is only served on sea days in the MDR. If you have all or mostly port days, it won't be an option anyway

That is the same email we got on Explorer last March however the one I received today for Voyager was very different. There was no mention of fruit and water on arrival, DVD's / PlayStation, upgraded amenities, coffee maker or Priority departure. Hopefully some things were just left off the email.

To my knowledge, coffee makers and kettles are still provided in all suites, including Junior.

All the GS we cruised in had dvd or PlayStation, Liberty twice also navigator twice and brilliance but I understand oasis and newer ship do not have them
