Club class now Reserve Collection

[riffatsea]

Just noticed this new labeling!

Now there are Reserve mini suites with Reserve Dining

Suites now also have  Reserve Dining 

Its the same Club Class with a new name

I wonder why?

Thoughts??

 

BTW do you tip the head waiter/manager in the old Club Class?

We've never noticed people doing that but saw it today for the first time

Depends on what they do for me like prepare special dishes on request. Otherwise we would only tip our servers   If we have multiple servers we would give the tip to the manager to divvy up. We also do this for the servers at Sabatini’s bteakfast

I saw that yesterday for the first time on Princess website. Thought maybe I had a scoop but after a search here I saw it had already been discussed a few weeks ago 😁

The renaming is to bring them in line with the new Sun Princess.

Since you asked, No. Never. But you may certainly choose to do so. 
Whatever feels comfortable to you is the only correct answer.

The new Sun Princess has a separate Reserve dining room and Signature dining room for full suite guests. It looks like club mini is now Reserve and full suite will become Signature.

The change matches the name use on the new Sun ship.  With the ship within a ship concept being built into the Sun (separate dining rooms and lounges for Signature class as well as for Reserve Class) the next question is if Princess will retrofit any of its existing ships (such as Celebrity did when it went ship within a ship) to do the same on existing ships.  Renaming Club Class to Reserve may indicate that they will for brand consistency.
