MissRissa Posted February 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2009 We decided to upgrade from a balcony to a balcony suite on the Triumph and now our paperwork says VIP. Does anyone know what the perks are? I do know we get priority boarding, but is there any other thing with this? Thanks for any information:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted February 11, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You get to use the VIP line at embarkation. You also receive priority debarkation on the final day at ports where it is offered which is most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatSt Posted February 11, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2009 As far as I know the only perk for being in a suite is VIP embarkation. There are no other perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissRissa Posted February 11, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks for the info. Since we are going to be 3 in the cabin I think our real perk will be having the extra room. Can't wait to go:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill&Ann Free laundry is a perk for past guest that have reached platinum status. It is not a perk provided to guests who have booked suites.

I really had no idea that it would get us early embarkation. I just wanted the larger cabin and balcony. This is our 3rd cruise and want it to be special because it is for my daughter's 17th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckL Posted February 12, 2009 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2009 What is the VIP Lounge like at the Port of Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandgnat Posted February 12, 2009 #15 Share Posted February 12, 2009 What is the VIP Lounge like at the Port of Miami? It is a seperate room with ice water available. Show up early to sit in the room then be escorted onto the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billfrompa Posted February 12, 2009 #16 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Free laundry is a perk for past guest that have reached platinum status. It is not a perk provided to guests who have booked suites. The last cruise on the Legend, we had a cat 11 wrap-around suite. I sent laundry out with our room steward and told her we were platinum guests. I could have sworn she said we got the free laundry anyway because we were in a suite. If I'm wrong I'm sorry for any confusion. Bill&Ann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your daughter is going to love it and feel very special as well as you and your husband. Again, even though you don't get much perks with VIP, just the fact that you are able to be one of the first fews to get on the ship and start your vacation AND get to see your suite is sheer excitement initself. So enjoy, and Happy Sailing! Just a side note, don't let a snarky comment get to you, they probably need a cruise LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda Bell Posted February 12, 2009 #20 Share Posted February 12, 2009 No you don't... No free laundry service for a suite, unless you had 10 or more cruises than I think you get free laundry service. I'm still working toward my 10 cruises, this will be #6.... VIP means nice suite, first on the ship( do not have to wait in the lines ). That It! or that all we got for booking a suite You'll love your suite & enyoy your cruise....
