nycruiser80 Posted June 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Tried searching for this and I couldn't find it. If I were to travel in a Window Suite say on the Grand Princess and I had a friend traveling solo staying in an inside cabin could that friend join us for dinner in the Club Class dining area? Would they be able to join us at the suite mimosa breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not find the begging to be embarrassing to you and your friends ... and uncomfortable for the staff dealing with you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they let folks who didn't book the suite enjoy the same perks, what would be the point? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycruiser80 Posted June 3, 2020 Author #10 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Thank you all. I realize the amenities are for paid suite guests. Wasn't sure about the dining scenario especially when there is a couple who are in a suite and when traveling with a single in a standard cabin. Celebrity does allow a non-suite guest into Luminea or at least they did on a Celeb cruise I did a few years ago, maybe they put a stop to this I don't know. I had stayed in a Sky Suite with my partner and when I asked if my single friend in an inside cabin could join us in Luminea they allowed it. We didn't dine every night at Luminea but when we did they obliged very easily. Edited June 3, 2020 by nycruiser80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare azbirdmom Posted June 3, 2020 #13 Share Posted June 3, 2020 As others have said, the suite breakfast only applies to the guests staying in the suite. As for Club Class, when we were traveling with friends who were not staying in a suite last year on the Sapphire, when presenting ourselves at the Club Class podium, we were seated in an area adjacent to the Club Class dining area. We were not allowed to avail ourselves of the special food item but that that was fine. It was the immediate seating that was a benefit to us, and being able to dine with our friends. You might want to inquire about that. The other thing that we were able to do is order off the MDR menu through room service for all 4 of us. We only did that on one occasion but there was no problem at all. Of course we tipped accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might add, ask your steward for daily MDR menus for your room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF Cruiser Posted June 3, 2020 #16 Share Posted June 3, 2020 As a suite passenger, you can also make reservations in the any time dining room. They limit reservations there to about 1/3 of the tables, unless you are a suite passenger. We always stay in a suite, and when traveling with others who are not, we reserve a table in any time dining for all of us. We get to eat with our friends at the time we want and have the same waiter every night - just aren't eating on Club Class. And as others have mentioned, you can order for as many people you want for room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoak Posted June 3, 2020 #19 Share Posted June 3, 2020 No and No. If they allowed this the club class would be overwhelmed. Last year at the mimosa breakfast a suite guest came in with wife and daughter on Twitter first morning. . Daughter was in a non suite cabin. During breakfast they were told that the daughter could no return in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewgood Posted June 4, 2020 #21 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Being in a suite I think you should get a free meal at a speciality restaurant on the first night. Perhaps your friend could pay for their meal and join you for the first night. This could work out if they are in any time dining otherwise if they are in traditional they may want to meet their dining companions on the first night. We choose fixed time dining last time we were in class class for our evening meal and linked our booking with our non club class friends, we found once on board that we had been given a different restaurant to our friends (we did have a linked twid code), so if you go down this route check that you have the same table as them.

Sometimes something that you don't believe could possibly be true actually is. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
