Sorry, but I have not utilized the thermal suite.

 

Someone else will chime in I am sure.

I guess you'll have to buy or own or "GASP" sneak something into your checked bags!!!!!!!!!!

The bar set up is just a 'blip' compared to some of the other perks you will get in a full suite. We considerate it just a little bonus. Even without it, the perks would still be wonderful!

That's for sure. Our favorite part is being able to come home without facing a mound of dirty clothes due to the free laundry and dry cleaning.

How long is the turn-around on the laundry?

Do you tip them?

[bhopal21]

In before 9 back by 5 same day, if after 9 the next day.

 

No, since the steward usually puts the clothes in the closet while we are ashore during the day.

Usually two days unless you check express service (which is no extra charge with Suite or Elite benefits). If you turn the laundry over to the room steward before 9:00 AM, it is usually back around 5:00.

[RichNY]

Well, it is called a "MINI BAR" ...and it sure lives up to its description.....:D and I understand that we don't get a choice either..

[bhopal21]

and I understand that we don't get a choice either..

 

But you do. I have always asked the steward to exchange the other six minis for six more Beefeaters and it has always been done with a smile.

Thanks for all the great information. We have just booked our first ever Princess cruise and decided to book a full suite too. An Aft PS on Caribe deck on Diamond P:D .

So are delighted to read up on some of the perks. Thank you.

 

Can I ask though. If anyone knows what is meant when they say FREE use of the Lotus Spa. I'm not quite sure if I'm using Princess website correctly or not, but I can never find the info I'm looking for. Including the 'suite perks' and having read the link I now dont know what they mean by the Lotus Spa.

 

Any further little tid-bits will be most welcome . eg links to room service menus, etc or any wonderdul photos will be much appreciated.

 

Thank you fellow CCrs
