Robes in Aqua are heavier terry cloth. Which would be preferred depends upon where you are going. In Aqua, if you would prefer the lighter robes, you can request they be swapped.

We are in a concierge class cabin on the Silhouette right now, and have often sailed in CC. The robes are very heavy terry cloth. Our attendant has already swapped ours our for the lighter robes. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTN Posted December 4, 2021 #54 Share Posted December 4, 2021 We booked a CC cabin a few days ago for our Canada/NE cruise next August on Summit. I really didn't give it much thought. CC were the only remaining cabins with a balcony. We are happy to get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience on Summit in Concierge has always been the heavy robes. Was just on in Nov in a FV and had the light robes (no longer waffle) but DW asked for one of the heavy ones and one was supplied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in my experience, concierge class on the Summit and all the other ships has always been the heavier terry cloth robes. There were times when I would have wished for a lighter robe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goofysmom99 Posted December 5, 2021 #62 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I've always written in whatever I wanted on the room service breakfast menus and been accommodated. I have to write in gluten free toast no matter what category of cabin I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perks I enjoy: Embarkation Day lunch in the MDR. I know they have moved this to the first Sea Day, which is a disappointment to me. Welcome bottle of bubbly or vino. We like asking our Steward for this perk to enjoy Sail Away from our balcony. Cabin location mid-ship. Occasional special "Concierge-only" sailaways on the helipad or other special event. The Concierge-only lounge on Disembarkation Day. It's a quiet place away from the crowds, with coffee, tea and pastries to send us off. Having other passengers ask why our Sea Pass cards are gold, lol! I would agree. The canapes are not the most delicious! However, there are a few other perks and the chairs on the balcony have foot rests! That's a biggie for me. In the olden days (lol) we also had a pitcher of ice water and a bowl of fruit every day. The visit to the helipad, backstage at the theater, and a few other goodies made it worth the few extra bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that new? A sailaway from the helipad is not a listed perk of concierge class. A couple of years ago, it started happening on some ships, apparently at the discretion of the powers that be. We’re in a CC cabin on the Silhouette right now, and CC folks have been invited to the helipad for our sailaway from Sint Maarten tomorrow. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the staff ever wants to say no. However, it does not seem right to ask for something off menu. This causes difficulty on the back end that you may not even be aware of.

When we asked our stateroom attendant not to bring them, he asked if there was anything else we'd prefer. He was more than happy to provide us with cheese & crackers and some grapes instead of the daily canapes. 4 hours ago, Turtles06 said: A sailaway from the helipad is not a listed perk of concierge class.
