swooldri Posted July 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So much for the "new" RCI suite perks. Booked 12 days ago and have heard nothing. "All guests booked in a Sea suite will receive: 8 days after booking: a welcome email" This is from their Web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwaukee Eight Posted July 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I don't recall getting a welcome email after booking and we stay in GS typically. We do get a letter from the Concierge about 4-8 days out from the cruise. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do get a letter from the Concierge about 4-8 days out from the cruise. Sent from my iPhone using Forums We always stay in a GS or higher and I don't ever recall a welcome email either. Just the concierge a week or so before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittsburgh Mike Posted July 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I don't recall getting a welcome email after booking and we stay in GS typically. We do get a letter from the Concierge about 4-8 days out from the cruise. Sent from my iPhone using Forums we are in a Crown Loft Suite on Aug 20th sailing of OS and did not get a welcome email. I will let everyone know if we get a letter/email 4-8 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rede411 Posted July 31, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I never received a welcome email either. I'm in an Owners Suite & wanted to know who my concierge is....I'll just have to wait until I get closer to the cruise ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixCruiser Posted July 31, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2017 No welcome email here either. I think that is a stupid "perk" that I have never heard of. I wonder it the link is old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurschick Posted July 31, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Even when staying in RS we don't get a welcome email. We hear from concierge normally around one week before the cruise. I know RS on other ships in the fleet doesn't have sea/sky/star class but still. Never heard of anyone in Star class hearing anything until a week before either.

"All guests booked in a Sea suite will receive: 8 days after booking: a welcome email" This is from their Web site. Sea suite is a Junior Suite. I think that they mean a booking invoice. :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted July 31, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not the first time that Royal's site has listed incorrect information. It is listed under the FAQ section for Suite Class. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/royalsuiteclass/faq/ 8. WHAT EXCLUSIVE COMMUNICATIONS DOES A GUEST RECEIVE WHEN BOOKING THE ROYAL SUITE CLASS PROGRAM? All guests booked in a Star suite will receive: 8 days after booking: a welcome email 6 weeks before sailing: The Royal Genie will contact the guest and ask them to complete an important survey about the guests’ preferences. Based off the information provided, the Royal Genie will begin preparations to personalize your vacation accordingly. 2 weeks before sailing: The Royal Genie will contact the guest to confirm arrival information via e-mail. 10 days before sailing: The Royal Genie will invite the guest to download the Loop app – an exclusive Star messaging tool that allows fast, easy and convenient communication between the guest and their Royal Genie. Loop will be available from point of download until four days after the cruise. All guests booked in a Sky suite will receive: 8 days after booking: a welcome email 7 days prior to sailing: an email reminder. Additionally, Sky guests will receive an introductory email from an onboard Concierge. All guests booked in a Sea suite will receive: 8 days after booking: a welcome email 7 days prior to sailing: an email reminder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted July 31, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Over the years sailing in our suites we have gotten the concierge letter 7 out of 8 cruises. The first cruise was the only one we did not get . I will post when we get it this year. We are SKY in a CL in two weeks. Safe travels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted July 31, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We have only received an email when we sailed in a suite in a Star Class level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenamenya Posted July 31, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So, while on Harmony a few weeks ago, I used NextCruise to book a junior suite on Allure next year. A couple days later, after arriving home, I switched that reservation to a Crown Loft on Harmony. I did actually receive a welcome email to Sky class (6 days after the new booking). I didn't get one for the initial Sea class booking that I changed from (maybe because I changed it so quickly). I also can't speak to if I got one for my past suites, because I just don't recall if I did. Sent from my SM-G930P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenamenya Posted July 31, 2017 #18 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not sure if this picture will work, never posted a photo to CC before. But here's the screenshot of the email. Sent from my SM-G930P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted July 31, 2017 #19 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So much for the "new" RCI suite perks. Booked 12 days ago and have heard nothing. Relax. After you get a chance to experience the "perks" than you'll really have something to complain about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetX Posted July 31, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We also didn't receive the welcome email...I'm kinda wondering if you only get this "amenity" if you book directly with RCI. We booked with a TA and got our "welcome" from the agent, along with our invoice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 31, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We also didn't receive the welcome email...I'm kinda wondering if you only get this "amenity" if you book directly with RCI. We booked with a TA and got our "welcome" from the agent, along with our invoice. That should not matter, if the concierge is one to reach out to guests, booking with a TA should make no difference.

PlanetX Posted July 31, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 31, 2017 That should not matter, if the concierge is one to reach out to guests, booking with a TA should make no difference. Based on the way the communication benefis are phrased for Star and Sky Class guests, I hadn't assumed that the welcome email was to be from the concierge (it doesn't say that in the FAQ). I had interpreted that it would be an automated email of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted July 31, 2017 #24 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We've booked 4 Star Class Suites and have never received a "welcome email" although I cannot imagine what "perk" it would be even if we got it. We have always received the [useless] questionnaire and eventual contact from the Genie but the welcome email has never materialized. Not much of a loss, but if they've decided that it is too much trouble they need to remove it from the list of amenities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominabox1 Posted July 31, 2017 #25 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Thats weird. I booked an inside on Freedom and got an email within a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
