What suite benefits are gone these days?

[djh]

Question for anybody that travels in suites and has a better memory than me. Years ago, it seemed like we got a lot more suite benefits than we have today. Not only big things (like invitations to sit at the captains table), but just little perks (like fresh fruit etc.) We travel on Royal and Celebrity often, so I think sometimes when I'm expecting a perk and getting nothing, I may be confusing it with Celebrity. Or sometimes confusing it with diamond plus perks. Any useful input would be greatly appreciated.

The doorbells are still hooked up and working and the gold color on the sea pass cards does not wear off

This depends on which suite you're booking. Starting in May, RCL is introducing a new suite class program that at the high end is pretty nice.

No more slippers, chocolates. They have also cut down on the daily deliveries.on the positive side, some ships the concierge will walk you off the ship all the way through customs.

Sometimes. On Navigator that was the case. Both times I've been on the Liberty the concierge has just walked us to the gangway.

Also, I am aware of the new suite perks on Oasis and Quantum class, but while they seem to be increasing, I feel that on other ships the perks are declining. But like I said, maybe I'm expecting something that was actually done on Celebrity.

Yeah, I am computer illiterate. I need my kids to show me how to do it. I don't know my way around attachments and such. Hard to teach and old dog new tricks~~

These are only available on certain classes of ships for right now. I believe Oasis and Quantum class.

No more free massages!

[critterchick]

No more glassware other than the standard bathroom and a couple or water glasses. They used to provide a full array of wine, cocktail and martini glasses for all the liquor you weren't allowed to bring onboard.:p
