geegeewhiz Posted April 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hello all! I just got off NoS. While booking my next sailing at Nextcruise, I asked what are the perks for Jr Suite on Allure? Are they the same, Priority boarding, etc? The staff told me Jr Suites do not have priority boarding. I said are you sure, because I boarded on this ship as priority, and they both (manager included) insisted no there is no priority boarding fleetwide for Jr Suite guests. Am I missing something here? Did something change?? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissmya63 Posted April 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2017 We had priority boarding with a JS on Adventure last May. Don't know if there's been changes since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted April 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 16, 2017 That is odd. On our set sail pass, it just shows "suite" on it. So we've always gotten priority during check in. That being said, if this is about boarding before 11am, I've never been there for that. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my most recent cruise on Harmony last month I was amazed as I sat in the next cruise booking area waiting to book a few cruises at the wrong info being given to people...but it wasn't my place to speak up :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted April 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2017 This unfortunately isn't correct....sad that the reps onboard don't have correct info. On my most recent cruise on Harmony last month I was amazed as I sat in the next cruise booking area waiting to book a few cruises at the wrong info being given to people...but it wasn't my place to speak up :eek: I was amazed at all the misguided information given to passengers by the "next cruise" employees. It was all about get them in and out in under 20 mins.... One example I corrected the salesperson at the table next to ours about where a cabin was located on the ship he was trying to sell to a cruise novice couple. He was looking at an old ship deck plan instead of new refurbished deck plan. He insisted it was right.....so I just shut my mouth and finished a booking for my mother in law. Seen a lot of misinformation given out many times.....not on purpose, but I feel they are rushed to get to the next people waiting.

Goodtime Cruizin Posted April 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Perhaps the Next Cruise reps are combined based on the level of cabin or $$ amount. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyL128 Posted April 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Maybe they mean priority disembarkation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foosguy Posted April 16, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I received priority boarding on harmony in December in a junior suite. Might just be because on oasis and quantum class ships since these are the 'Royal Suite' class. Kyle Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted April 16, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Over several years when in JS's we have always boarded with the suites. This is in several different ports. Your set sail pass says "suite". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knittinggirl Posted April 16, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 16, 2017 My JS Set Sail pass I printed out last week shows Suite! Got to be careful w/ those next cruise personnel. One stuck us on a balcony room that so small, it was unusable. That's why DH won't consider an itinerary onboard. They won't let us study the deck plans enough prior to booking.

Why don't you do your homework first? Go to one of the computer terminals and study the RC site. It's free and a good way to be knowledgeable about the cruise or cruises you wish to consider. You already know what you want when heading to Next Cruise and it makes their life easier. I do this all the time and I'm usually out of there in 10 minutes if the computers are actually functioning properly! Just a thought...

Snit13 Posted April 16, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 16, 2017 When I know I plan to book onboard, I go to web site/ships/deck plans and print the "printable deck plan" for the cruise I hope to book. I know in advance which cabin/cabins I am interested in and have my deck plan in hand. Makes it simpler for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We prefer open bookings, and they'd taken those off the table . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted April 16, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 16, 2017 In the Diamond Lounge on Liberty, we learned they have two computer systems. One select members of the crew uses for official business, and the other that passengers and crew pay extra for. On Liberty, none of the computer in the next cruise office were for passengers to research new cruises. Next cruise people would look up the cruise on their laptops and make a printout if needed which too forever. At no point did they let us look at the screens on the laptops. The salesman was trying to make an Aqua Class (Celebrity) sound like a suite. And it wasn't until I asked him for square feet that I realized he wasn't selling us the suite.

vrock Posted November 5, 2017 #19 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I realize this is an old thread. I was told by a rcl rep that jr suites on harmony do not get priority boarding. I was wondering if that is correct. We have always been allowed priority boarding when in a jr suite. Any recent experiences on the harmony would be appreciated. Thank you.

Rare island lady Posted November 5, 2017 #22 Share Posted November 5, 2017 As previous poster mentioned....your set sail pass just states "suite". Staff at check in would have to know the layout of every cabin number to figure out if you were in a JS versus GS and above. However, once your card is issued, it will be obvious from the color of the card when you go to "ding" to board at security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrock Posted November 5, 2017 #24 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Our set sail pass does not say suite it says sea class. That is why I was wondering if something had changed with priority boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I was wondering if something had changed with priority boarding. Hmmm...that is indeed interesting. Mine still stated "suite" for my set sail pass in a JS. Agree....perhaps changes happening. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
