Thanks for responding...Love Suite breakfast in Sabatinis. We only sail in suites, but haven't sailed on the Royal Class ships and we're sailing 21 days on our upcoming Enchanted sailing.  I was hoping to learn some new hints on the R Class before sailing.  It seems the Concierge Lounge is similar to the Celebrity Retreat and RCCL Suite Lounge.  

 

You'll definitely have the Suite Concierge Lounge on the Enchanted.  It will have a small buffet of different treats that change during the day.  There's a coffee machine that allows you to make specialty or regular coffees.  And of course a concierge who will function as the Passenger Service contact and more for suite passengers.  That is what I've experienced in the lounges in the past.  The Discovery lounge had a two hour happy hour each as well with complementary wines and hard liquor.  It also had bottled and fizzy water out at all times.  I don't know if that has now rolled out to the Enchanted and other Royal class ships but I sure hope it has.

Were you in the Club Class dining room for lunch - hence the CC on the napkins?  We're new to the Royal Class ship so I hope to learn more about suite perks as our upcoming sailing is in a Penthouse on the Enchanted.  

Yes. All suites and cc minis eat there.

The first cruise was booked using FCCs from multiple COVID cancellations. My DH and I are limited to how many vacation days we get, and at the time we needed to use up our COVID FCCs by December 2022. This cruise plus an upcoming December ’22 CB Panama Canal cruise will use up all our FCCs.

I laughed out loud when I read this. Exactly how we ended up on 2 of your 3 cruises with you. 
 

it wasn’t the vac days for us. It was trying to avoid the school truancy letter. 😅

 

see ya in a few days.

Time to cruise! 

Have a fantastic cruise! I'll be following along and I'll be boarding her on the 26th.

Dinner was great last night at Sur La Mer.  I had the lobster bisque and filet. The filet was very tender and cooked perfectly!

The comedian was good. We often go the the Comedy Magic Show in Hermosa, so we get spoiled with great comedians. Our seats were good. Yes, they were reserved.

Bon voyage!  Thank you for posting especially about your precruise experience with the concierges. I am excited to read about how you like the Sky Suite and if your balconies are quiet or not during the Lido deck activities and MUTS. 
I’m on the Sapphire LA to Hawaii- we get to Hilo tomorrow.  I’ve been surprised by how well the internet has worked so far. At least for emails, messaging & posting here. Even made a couple WiFi phone calls and did FT with DH. We are at 88% capacity. 
 

Have a great cruise 💃💃

Wow the Internet is actually letting you in to Cruise Critic!  Hope you're enjoying your time onboard.  The one thing they don't say in the letter is that when going ashore to Cabo, go to the Concierge Lounge and they will escort you on to the next shuttle.  We were put on a "reserved" elevator that took directly to deck 4.  We've done priority Elite tender boarding before but this is way better!

Is the internet letting you do internet phone calls? Also, if any of you on the cruise would like to take a walk, can you tell me what the blank space neat to D315 is? It's an inside  between the front & mid elevators. Thanks!

HB, if you get a chance at some point , could you please let me know the depth of the retreat pool? Deciding whether or not to bring my pool floaty thing. Thank you!

You can hear a little bit of the DJ with the doors closed but it’s not bad. It was very quiet last night when we went to bed. Note: They cover and lock down the furniture and outdoor fridge at night. If you want anything like water at night be sure to put it in the inside fridge. 

[Sailing12Away]

We'll be stopping at Cabo from 11am - 8pm on our Panama canal transit. Since you've been there a bunch of times, any recommendations on things to see/do or places to eat/drink at if we do it on our completely?

Unfortunately we will not be going to the meet and greet. We ordered room service 2 hours ago and it still hasn't gotten here 😡 and it's 9:50

So hopefully we can meet up at the first location on the pub Crawl 🥂

Yes. You can take a water taxi to Medano Beach and The Office.  The food and drinks are really good there. You can basically bar hop along the beach there. If you like sushi Nick Sans is within walking distance where the tender drops you off. The Marina has a lot of shops, bars and restaurants. Don’t walk too far to the right though. It starts to get sketchy.

I just got off the Discovery Saturday and had the same meal there.  The filet was the best steak I have ever had!

Actually I meant 10:50 and we didn't get our food and drinks till 11:15. We ordered everything at 9:00am and thought were would have plenty of time 😞
