a.madruga Posted November 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2023 would like to know what and is it worth with Suites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Its Club Orange, and discussed here many, many, many times. No, if you are in a Neptune Suite, its probably not worth it, as Neptune Suites already include all the amenities (and more) offered in Club Orange. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWorldWithBill Posted November 6, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2023 As @CruiserBrucesaid, in a Neptune suite you are already Club Orange. It is very useful for verandahs, as you can book the cheapest in the category and get a free upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanDiegian Posted November 6, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2023 We opted for Orange Club on the Koningsdam & Westerdam, quite a different experience. On KD there was a separate OC dining room (it reminded me of a fish aquarium thing glass enclosure). On WD the OC was a table by the window in the MDR. Worth it on the KD and a headache on WD. I will explain. The KD cruise was a 17 day Hawaii RT, so a lot of sea-days, and dining at your own table that was ready for us @5 was a time saver because the MDR line was awfully long. The menu was a step up, changed daily, with entrees like lasagna better than Caneletto. In OC breakfast included Bloody Mary and much quicker service than MDR. There was a dedicated line at the service desk with no wait, and a direct phone number to Room Service. Living the DolceVita. The WD was a 7 night Alaska trip and there was no separate OC dining room or menu and even coffee was charged to our onboard account. We brought this to the attention of Guest Services who defended the extra charges requiring us to go to the Manager who promised to reverse $$. But next day it was a repeat. Not relaxing if you must be hyper vigilant for extra repeating charges. The OC also allowed an expedited boarding but not disembarkation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any category can add it. It's capacity controlled though. Only X passengers per sailing can add it. (I don't know what number X is though. Rumor has it that it's ten, but only in Rome. 😉 ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted November 7, 2023 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I just linked several threads for the OP to look over in their other posting.

It's either dining to the nth degree or the extra n is for nice. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ready2go11 Posted November 7, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Although it is widely advertised as one extra entree choice, on the Rotterdam last month there were three extra every day choices available in addition to the CO special. See below for same day comparison of MDR menu and CO menu. Edited November 7, 2023 by Ready2go11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWorldWithBill Posted November 7, 2023 #17 Share Posted November 7, 2023 One more note: if you want anything a bit off the beaten track, the Club Orange staff will (probably) go above and beyond to get it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser999 Posted November 9, 2023 #21 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I am already in VA so no benefit from the upgrade for club Orange, I checked and they would offer me a $100 OBC instead. still on the fence for getting it on the Noordam, I guess priority embarkation is useful, but does this include priority line in the ports of call? For the early dinner seating will it make a difference when going to the dining room for Dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
