jeb_bud Posted December 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I am planning a cruise on Grandeur in 2025. I think I'm going to book a F1 or F2 for this cruise. Looking at the deck plan I see four F1 suites at the stern on Decks 7 and 8. The equivalent suites on Deck 9 are Concierge. I'm attracted to these suites because they appear to have the large balcony of a Concierge suite. Suite Guru does not have any reviews of these suites. I'm curious if anyone has stayed in one of these suites, or the Cat E suites at the back of Deck 9? How was the experience? Also, aside from the longer walk to the elevator why are these suites a lower category than the ones just in front of them? Thanks for any input.

Chateaunole-du-pape Posted December 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2023 We were in 957 on Splendor this summer, just three forward of the ones you are looking at on Deck 7 and 8. Great layout, huge balcony, no motion issues. I can't imagine that being three suites farther aft would make much of a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briar14 Posted December 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) We were in 780, an F1, on Grandeur for the last 21 days. Yes, it has a larger balcony. The ship sailed through 3 storms on the cruise. We were very comfortable the entire time. I would recommend.

DaveFr Posted December 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 11, 2023 We were in 877 on the Explorer last March and April. It was a good suite with no issues. I would book it again. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeb_bud Posted December 15, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Thanks for the helpful replies. I just booked 875 for a Grandeur Southampton to Southampton cruise in June, 2025. We'll find out just how important the coffee maker and cashmere blankets are to us in Concierge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
