I don't need a curtain...It's the narrow access to the closet in the older type of GS on RCI.....I'll book an OS any day over a GS unless it's the newer one bedroom GS's.

 

Looking forward to my X true aft Sky Suite.

Aft suites are great and of course OS is nicer than GS , loved our OS on oasis on last rccl cruise , same as royal suite is better than sky suites with much nicer perks.

We love the premium beverage package.  Not only do you get top shelf alcoholic drinks , you also get special waters and access to cafe baccio for wonderful coffee and tea drinks.  

 

You can also order drinks and waters with dinner or in any venue or bar.  Not good with room service however.

Interesting subject - It now looks to me that The classic drinks package as been severely reduced in what it includes - This i am guessing is that as its almost continuously being offered as a "free" booking perk as we have received again.  My first experience of this package offer was very good as everything i wanted was included. But now looking at comparative list both beers and wine that i tend to drink are now all in the Premium package. I haven't looked to see if that can be upgraded but its not made easier as my wife basically doesn't drink mainly just slimline tonic so i wouldn't want to upgrade both - Ideal world swap my classic for premium and wifes classic for a soft drinks one - But I doubt if that's possible - Not cruising till Sept 21 so tme available

I had the premium beverage package, wifi, OBC and gratuities included as a "free" perk, but I did book before COVID so perhaps they have changed that now?

You are correct. You won’t be able to swap your Classic for Premium by downgrading your wife from Classic to Soft Drinks.

We always buy the premium package (or upgrade) but thought the next cruise with no drink package at all(casino offer) we would try to see how it goes.  Then we thought about signing receipts, thinking about what/how many we have ordered and thought maybe just buy it and be done with it.  Has anyone tried it once and found out what works for them?
