Love2Cruise081382 Posted December 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2008 We're booking a PH (Category 12) on the Liberty and I was wondering what benefits there are (other than the obvious extra room). Can anyone help me out?:confused: Thanks, B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love2Cruise081382 Posted December 9, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted December 9, 2008 It looks like "Aqua" was NOT a Happy Camper! I've made several cruises on RCI (all Suites) and they do have many perks; Concierge Service, riority Boarding of course, Priority Shore Tours, and amenities sent to the staterooms. Maybe I should stick to RCI? I really wanted to visit Half Moon Cay......:( B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to visit Half Moon Cay (which is fabulous...we have been there several times)...you can also sail on Holland America. It was their original island when Carnival Corp purchased the cruise line. Personally, I think all of Carnival's perks are in line with what you pay for the cruise.

Love2Cruise081382 Posted December 9, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks again. I think you're right. CCL's 7-day is a couple hundred less than the equivalent (Grand Suite) on RCI..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted December 9, 2008 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Personally, I think all of Carnival's perks are in line with what you pay for the cruise. That's the answer I hear a lot on CC boards, well carnival has such cheap fares, that people shouldnt expect perks for booking suites. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I think Carnival needs to step up here. Even if its small things, like canapes to the cabin, do something to makes suites special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Cruise081382 Posted December 9, 2008 Author #8 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I too agree that more perks would make the price more in line with the amenities for a Cat. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On RCL, even a JS is good sized and you get 2 cruise credits for your cruise. Anything above a JS you get free drinks for 2 hours in the consierge lounge. My friends couldnt believe the free drinks, you could order what you wanted. Not like the captains party where you pretty much take what is offered.

Love2Cruise081382 Posted December 9, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'll admit that I'm disappointed in the lack of perks but what really concerns me is that I want to reserve a Cabana at HMC and since you can't reserve on-line, I have to wait until I get on board and take the chance of them being filled up already.....

Try sailing Holland America. You can reserve cabanas online and you'll have more "perks" in your suite. If you don't want to pay more money than sail Carnival and don't complain. When you book your suite the room description has nothing about personal butler service, reserved show seating, etc. You pay for a bigger/nicer room. No different than paying more for a balcony compared to interior room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
