Well that is just crazy. It won't affect us on our next cruise as we have a package. Having said that, of all the people on board that could afford the $5 RS fee it is those in suites and in the scale of the overall cost of the cruise it probably wouldn't make a lot of difference... but it is the principle isn't it.

What is even more unfair is that you can't use the app ordering at 14.95 one time charge for room service since the full dining room menus are not there. Only way to order is by calling and be charged $5 each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there has been a ton of speculation about this ($5 fee for suite guess to order MDR room service) before the start date of additional fees but, has there been any actual first hand experience with this from any suite guess in the last week or so when the switch started? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are charged unless you pay a flat fee of $15 for the entire trip. I am sailing in a full suite and got written confirmation from Princess when I emailed to complain that was no charge when I booked my suite. The exception is the hanging room service menu you put out the night before for breakfast which is still an included menity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I have read (and I admit that I skip around), this question has not been verified by anyone (currently or in the past) in a suite. Almost every ship should have implemented this pricing by now since it is the end of August. I can't believe not a single suite passenger...without a package, has not tried to call Room Service once for something. Still waiting to hear.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted September 1, 2023 #69 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) I am poster #66. Is poster #65 currently on a cruise. Or has a cruise booked and received communication from customer service for upcoming cruise? I guess, I just want to hear from a suite passenger …. who has been charged … and how it was handled onboard.

I will be in a suite in a week but I have a package. Perhaps the population of suite passengers without a package is just not that big? I'll keep my ears open and see if any of the other suite passengers experience this first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snaxmuppet Posted September 1, 2023 #74 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I would imagine that most suite passengers have a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizenxnz Posted September 1, 2023 #75 Share Posted September 1, 2023 In a few weeks we are doing a 23 day South Pacific crossing. No package but in a suite. I'm definitely going to get an answer then! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
