cruise kitty Posted June 13, 2019 Author #29 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi everyone, I just wanted to give a big thank you for all the tips & advice I received on this thread, we absolutely loved being in a sky suite... unfortunately for our pocket book, we upgraded next May's Alaska cruise to a sky suite :) The perks & extras were just wonderful.... I'll go into detail on a photo review very soon. Thanks again for everyone's help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, it was a ten night cruise & I think we paid about $199 each, this included the mandatory 20% gratuities. It was a cold weather cruise (it snowed!) so we used the persian gardens quite a bit.

We are in Aqua (usually sail in Aq) and we can upgrade to a Sky Suite, but my hubby LOVES Persian Garden, so I asked Celeb when I called and they said SS gets full PG access, but I dont remember that being the case before, so thats why I asked here. But maybe we can use the OBC to buy him a pass. So I appreciate the help, thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what we did, we had a large amount of OBC, $750 so we both bought passes & got massages :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chemmo Posted June 13, 2019 #33 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) So pleased you enjoyed your cruise cruise kitty! I have to agree with you that the sweet, suite life is addictive! Edited June 13, 2019 by chemmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted June 13, 2019 #34 Share Posted June 13, 2019 None of the suites get access to Persian Gardens. This is a perk of Aqua class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted June 13, 2019 #35 Share Posted June 13, 2019 We usually sail in AQ and one is because my wife loves the PG. We have recently sailed a few times in a SS. Being E+ we get a free pass to PG for one port day. We didn’t use it. There were too many other things to do and enjoy. Even now when in AQ our use of PG gets to be less and less. We sailed on the Edge in AQ doing a B2B for 14 days total. Used the PG one time and that was because the of the placement of the loungers. They are directly under the slanted window with the sun shining directly on you. Didn’t use it at night because there was too many other activities and nice places to hang out Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km32937 Posted June 14, 2019 #36 Share Posted June 14, 2019 We stayed on deck 12 in 2132 and never had a problem with noise. Luminae seating at the window for two was available about 25% of the time when arriving at 7:30. Luminae was a nice dining experience regardless of where we were seated.

tmk1941 Posted July 21, 2019 #37 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The biggest problem with upgrading to a Suites Class is the difficulty in returning to Aqua or Consierge Class. Service in Luminae and Michaels Club is wonderful. Beware to scones at afternoon tea in Michaels Club! Waiters in Luminae have memorized your preferences after a couple of meals. In short, everything is better in Suites Class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypo Posted July 21, 2019 #38 Share Posted July 21, 2019 When dining in Luminae (on S class) you can order from either the Luminae menu or the MDR menu. Note that all of the food is prepared in the main galley on deck 3. There is not a separate galley just for Luminae, it may be plated differently but it all comes from the MDR galley on deck 3.

Did they add some aft suites on Reflection I am not aware of? The only suites that I know of on deck 14 is the Reflection Suite and the five Signature Suites. But, they are at the front.

NCHPcruiser Posted July 21, 2019 #42 Share Posted July 21, 2019 We prefer Luminae to Blu. Our experience has been that Luminae is quieter with more options. We appreciate the extra space in an SS and the service from the Michaels Club concierge though we have not sailed any ships with the Retreat. However, depending on the itinerary, who we are sailing with and price, Aqua Class continues to be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
