George C Posted July 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We meet a nice couple that were in Royal suite on last cruise, they invited us for wine and snack ( shrimp and other goodies) all supplied by RCCL, they were also invited to dine with captain. Also I believe concierge meet them and escorted them to suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalenalei Posted July 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2015 If you have kids, they can be in the ice show. Ours got picked up by the skaters and taken around the ice in a train. Complimentary pressing for formal night. A bottle of chilled champagne was in our room when we embarked. I think it was Moët? We did not get escorted onto the ship. And were not invited to the captain's table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalenalei Posted July 23, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Maybe because you had small children. Was this on your Chinese cruise Yes!! Good memory! Yeah, I wasn't expecting anything since it seems like the suite experience is different across the fleet. My kids aren't that small tho - they are 9. But I guess that is still young haha.

SSVacation Posted July 23, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Recently on Grandeur we were met at the entrance to the pier and escorted aboard, Suite was ready at 10am, a couple bottles of wine when we boarded, and sweets and treats everyday all week, Jorge our concierge comped me a tux and we had dinner at the captains table, he also did a lot of other little things as well, way over the top for us but if you can experience at least once it was worth it.

GSuitesailing Posted July 24, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2015 You should have a dozen rose bouquet on the dining table when you arrive. I would expect you to get more attentive service all the way around. It's very dependent on who is the suite concierge. Enjoy the suite. It's a wonderful way to travel!

Back2reality Posted July 29, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Last week we stayed in the new royal suite on the oasis, and I can't remember any extra perks for the royal suite. The first time I stayed in it, they gave us a few free professional family portraits in Central Park, but everything else was normal suite perks.

Rare John&LaLa Posted July 30, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Agreed! The new Coastal kitchen was great too! You got that right. We enjoyed it as JS guests (dinner only) On Oasis and are hoping they continue doing that. I've heard that is not the case with Allure. Not sure Laura will ever go back to MDR now. Fingers crossed that they can figure out a way to add CK to existing ships Edited July 30, 2015 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-Sheffield Posted July 30, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted July 30, 2015 We thought it strange that suite guests on Celebrity X seem to have a higher range of enhancements than on RCI ? I did ask the question direct with RCI about Internet being complimentary on Celebrity X ? RCI said that there was no plans to introduce that at the moment.

PompeySailor Posted July 30, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Mark, We just recently enjoyed a week in RS on Jewel, see a mini review I did In signature. Concierge got sheet music for our DD, piano works perfectly fine for proper playing of the piano, the Auto-Player also worked, not that it was needed. Hidden under the cushion of the piano seat, you will find CD's and remote control..;) We had a PS3 and arranged with concierge a few weeks before we sailed, which games DD wanted, they were in room on embarkation. Free flowing wine and Moët, ice stand was never empty, and there always seemed to be one or two bottles being chilled. Fruit plates, nibbles and fresh offerings pretty much everyday. Binoculars in room. Concierge met us at check in, escorted onto ship and were able to drop all of our luggage into Suite, from memory this was around 11am. We were also joined by the Guest Service manager. Priority disembarkation, you arrange a time with Concierge and you'll be escorted off, really smooth and very quick. Enjoy the RS On a side note WEDNESDAY or UTD😄 Happy Days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
