Reserve Collection Mini-Suites

[Pickels]

The documentation we received from Princess stated that those in the Reserve Collection Mini-Suites have priority embarkation/disembarkation.  Is this correct?  Would you confirm, we appreciate it, thanks.

Yes, that's correct. At embarkation/disembarkation port, Reserve has priority boarding/disembarkation.

Essentially, means you go in the Suite, Elite, Platinum boarding line ; and only really matters if your one of those who arrives at the port before boarding has even begun (with some few exceptions). 

For disembarkation, you have priority of choice of times - along with Platinum, Elite and Suite guests.. you can, within reason, pick the time that suits you best.

Not sure why you think Princess would list it as a perk of Reserve class, if it wasn't correct - but there you go. Yes, correct.

We never felt that the so called priority boarding was anything special.   We always checked in and walked right on.   Maybe on some occasions but not for us.

And with the "new" Green/Blue lines, embarkation priority is AFTER check in.  You would think (oxymoron) that somebody at Princess would be able to design a better Rubric Cube.

Same for us.  We always plan to arrive a couple of hours after embarkation has started, so no waiting.

Exactly how we think. 🙃

There is also a reserved debarkation area for Reserve mini passengers.  On our last cruise it was in one of the lounge areas and had coffee and snacks available while you wait for your turn to disembark.

It's only "special" if guest is checked in and waiting to board prior to opening up the ship.  Then it can help get you on first with Suite/Elite priority.

Priority Disembarkation is really a nothing thing.  It should really be called Priority Disembarkation Lounge as you get you own room with others in same CC Member Level or Cabin Type and they have some setup of snack/drink I think (I have not been in one in eons).  Otherwise, a guest can depart the ship pretty much anytime they want/need.  Just request the time you want or do self-walk-off.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the info, we didn’t want to break any rules or guidelines, we go with the flow!

Someone here on CC, said that Mini-Suites don't get the suite perks; that's why I asked, thanks!

Mini-suites do not get the suite perks. However, Reserve Collection Mini-Suites do get some perks of their own - more than other cabins but less than suites.
