carontori Posted March 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have a few questions about the courtyard villas. Are soda and bottled water included with the courtyard villa? Are there lounge chairs on the balcony? Is the butler in the courtyard the same one for your suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo2916 Posted March 27, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Just off the Jewel last week and still in re-adjustment mode! No free drinks in the room except the high-end Saeco coffee maker (it grinds and brews very good espresso-type coffee). There's still and sparkling water, but $4.50 per liter bottle. Also sodas in the mini-bar, but around $2 each. There's always ice water out on the courtyard which we used a lot. The butler takes care of you in the room and will certainly come check on you on the courtyard and will serve meals for you out there or in the suite. On the Jewel we also had another steward who was focused on the courtyard - took occasional drink orders, etc. Let me know if you have other questions. SteveO.

steveo2916 Posted March 27, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Knew I missed one question - there is very comfy artificial rattan furniture on the balcony. More like big comfy chairs, not loungers. Spent a lot of time out there too! SteveO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carontori Posted March 27, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have been told we cannot bring guests into the courtyard, is this true. Is Cagney's still available for breakfast and lunch. Have they started serving meals in the courtyard yet? Any 2.0 changes yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo2916 Posted March 27, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Don't know policy on guests in the courtyard, sorry. On the Jewel, they do serve meals in the courtyard or in your room. Breakfast and lunch still available in Cagney's (either there or in room/courtyard). Jewel Freestyle 2.0 is scheduled for restaurant upgrades in early April, hotel upgrades in May. SteveO.

brunolvr Posted March 27, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have been told we cannot bring guests into the courtyard, is this true. Is Cagney's still available for breakfast and lunch. Have they started serving meals in the courtyard yet? Any 2.0 changes yet? This was discussed just a short time ago. The courtyard is for ONLY those passengers staying in a courtyard villa suite, owner's suite, deluxe owner's suite or the Garden Villa. Guests may visit your suite but not the courtyard or private sun deck. Cagney's is available for breakfast & lunch for only those passengers staying in an AE Penthouse or better.
