I hear ya….I've gotten a few door magnets from Amazon in the past and have never had an issue. But recently, like you, ordered some custom magnets through Stateroom Statements. One for a Jazz Cruise and one for an Anniversary cruise. If either of those disappear, I’m calling out SWAT!! Maybe I’ll put up a RING camera

Yes, you have to look carefully. This is what I found in the FAQs: VOOM Surf + Stream package is not included for Sky Junior Suites on select ships***. *** VOOM Surf + Stream package is not available for Sky Junior Suites sailing on Allure of the Seas®, Anthem of the Seas®, Harmony of the Seas®, Oasis of the Seas®, Odyssey of the Seas®, Ovation of the Seas®, Quantum of the Seas®, Symphony of the Seas® and Wonder of the Seas®. Sky Junior Suites sailing on Icon of the Seas®, Spectrum of the Seas® and Utopia of the Seas® have this benefit included.-Complimentary gratuities are not included for Sky guests. Not sure if you get Suite Lounge/Sun deck access or Breakfast & Lunch also in Coastal Kitchen(doesn’t look likely) but seems clear, no Voom on those ships. Hopefully this will change and extend to all ships. It’s a nice option if you don’t mind spending extra. On Celebrity, their Sky Suites, which are really Junior Suites, have full Suite/Retreat access.

We just got off Wonder this morning, end of our B2B. At breakfast this morning in Coastal Kitchen, our favorite server was really efficient and we received our meal super quick. We were like: Why are you in such a rush? She said she was trying to get ready for the next group of passengers, who would be arriving like 10am. She must have been talking about YOU!!!

We are on Wonder this coming Sunday and booked Effector in the beginning of October when booking opened up. It let us book a 7pm show on Day 7. Well after reading this thread(so glad I did), I reached out to the Suite Concierges and they confirmed the only show is at 3:30pm on Day 7. I'm 'WONDERing' when they were going to let the rest of us in on the SECRET!!! Hopefully we'll get a chance to see it. We are doing a B2B, so have it booked on Day 6 on the 2nd leg(again, so glad I did)!! Just another reason for loving this blog site. So much valuable information. Keep it up everyone!!

That's exciting....we have only 99 days until our Summit Jazz Cruise and only 397 days until our Beyond sailing....we cannot wait either!!!

Sounds like a plan!!

This is what I was talking about....

Thanks....I guess I should have specified flavored vodkas.....

Smirnoff makes a Zero Sugar Vodka. Any sightings of any kind of Zero Sugar liquors on any of Royal's ships? Going on Wonder next month.

Wow! You must have really loved Wonder since you’re sailing on her at least 4 more times. Well, we definitely have become ‘suite people’ and we really enjoy SL/CK access. We hang out there a lot. Now on this trip we are doing a B2B and the 1st leg will be with family & friends. They are all in Junior Suites so we’ll be able to eat dinner in CK together at times but they won’t have unfettered access to CK or the SL at all. So we will be enjoying the included venues just like you, especially on that 1st leg. On the 2nd leg, all bets are off. But this will be the 1st time our traveling companions will experience an Oasis Class ship so it will be nice seeing their reaction. We’re super excited!!

Thanks @OCSC Mike We will be in the GS too actually so we’ll see what happens. When on Symphony in a GS, we couldn’t control anything with the App but it was no big deal. However, next time on Symphony, we are trying the CLS with that huge, floor to ceiling window. We heard the curtains are motorized so hope they at least can be controlled from up in the loft area, via App or switch. We’ll see about that too…..

Is it able to be controlled from up in the loft or only from the downstairs living room area?

I hear that...well OK. I guess Edge spoiled us. I mean the App had several mood light settings for morning, movie time, bed time and more....all at the touch of a button. The morning setting would slowly open the curtains. It was great!!

Boy...aren't you the Chatty One!!! No to EVERYTHING???

Great…Thanks!!

On Wonder, can you use the RC App to control the thermostat, lighting, TV and the curtains? We were on the Celebrity Edge and we were able to control all of those things from the Celebrity App. Anybody know?

I upgraded our GS to a CLS as a surprise for my Honey for our 35th anniversary. Can’t wait to see his face when he walks in….he still thinks we’re in the same GS we stayed in last time we sailed on her. He also doesn’t know we’re doing a B2B. My question is: Are the curtains in the CLS motorized? I’ve looked at several YouTube videos but haven’t found an answer. Anyone??

This will be the 1st leg of our B2B. Yaaay!! We did our 1st ever B2B on Symphony in 2022 and got hooked on B2Bs. We loved the ship and can’t wait to return to her. And best of all, Symphony is now home-ported in Bayonne, which is a hop, skip and a jump from us. No flights for us this time. You will have a blast with your family and friends….even without the HUBBIES!! They’ll have to make their own fun without you

Thank you kind Sir...will do!!

Thanks @smokeybandit....so do they add it automatically when you indicate you're using a voucher or no?

@Matt I know you may have covered this question in the past...We will be doing our 1st full Diamond B2B cruise on Wonder in November. Do the Diamond vouchers include gratuity or is it added to your SeaPass separately or should we tip directly? Thanks!!

You better try and know it!! This will be our 1st ‘Diamond-Voucher’ cruise so we’re foregoing the drink or refreshment package. So it will be great to be right there close to the lounge for wine, water and soda for our minibar!! We also really like hanging out in the lounge, playing cards and games together(Sequence and UNO FLIP) so another great reason to be so close!!

We had our 1st experience at CK on Allure and we have loved it ever since. You can check the Royal App to see what they’re serving each night so you can decide to go to the MDR or Specialty. Actually on our last sailing on Symphony, on the 1st leg of our B2B, we opted for the Unlimited Dining Package, so ate elsewhere most of the time. However, we did enjoy breakfast and lunch at CK everyday. We did request the same waiter for all our meals on both sailings, so it was easy to tip him after each. One thing we really enjoyed is going to CK on Embarkation Day. It certainly beats “beating off the crowds” in the Windjammer, so take advantage of that perk. And to answer your questions, it is not unreasonable to eat there every night. The service is excellent, at least it has been in our experience. Then as others have suggested, order from the MDR menu, from time to time, if that’s more appealing. We are doing a B2B on Wonder in 83 days(Woo-Hoo) and are planning on trying that little trick. Also looking forward to being ‘right down the street’ from CK so will be so convenient to pop in for meals and snacks. Also keep in mind that even if you make all your dinner reservations for CK with the Concierge before you arrive, it’s perfectly fine if you change your mind later and want to eat elsewhere. The Concierge will take care of it for you. Enjoy yourself and WELCOME TO THE SUITE LIFE!!

Yes...Others? Please chime in

Got it….what’s the lowdown on this place?
