Neesa Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 This "suite" just appeared and disappeared on my sailing search. Is this a true suite with suite perks? Is there only one, is this why the availability was so quick? I looked to research it (we have a grand suite but wanted an additional bathroom) and then it was gone. Does anyone know about this elusive cabin offering on the Mariner? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 If it's the Ocean Panoramic Suite (Category VP) then yes, it receives the exact same suite benefits as a GS and above. The major difference is no balcony. There are some who love this suite. I have never tried it but I have 3 bookings in it. First one is Adventure this coming July. It is large, there is a separate area with bunks and it has 1 1/2 bath. I personally like the idea (that is why we have 3 bookings) because Deck 12 is quiet. The cons are possible motion (because it is very forward) and also noise above from the mini golf area. The views are beautiful though.

Sweety Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I love this suite. I have been on Marnier, Explorer and Navigator. It is true you get the suite perks as GS. I will be in VP this April on Navigator. We always order from the MDR. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesa Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 @twangster @Sweety Do you have any photos of this cabin? Thanks in advance if you do! Sharla @ MEI is trying to snag it for me now. We are only 3 though so I am not sure if RCCL will allow it, here is hoping, fingers crossed. If @Lovetocruise2002 has it booked 3X it's got to be special Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 We have it booked for only 2 all three times. It is suite snob approved. Google any one of the ships that have it, 1804 or 1854. Tons of YouTube videos. I will try to find one and post it here.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Here is one from Freedom, it’s going to be the same on Mariner. There are videos of Mariner too but quality is not as good on those ones. @CGTLH also had this room last year. It was in one of his blogs. Maybe he can post some pics.

CGTLH Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 These are what I had posted in my Mariner blog. I need to stop being lazy and process the rest I took. Neesa, Sweety and Lovetocruise2002 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 On the RoyalCaribbeanBlog Group Cruise to Alaska on Explorer in 2018 some fellow group cruise members had this suite. They were kind enough to allow me some pictures as we departed Seattle. WAAAYTOOO, Sweety and Neesa 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neesa Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 @Sweety @Lovetocruise2002 MOTS 1854! Sharla @ MEI was able to get it for me, late last night! Once again, I sent her an email "after hours" thinking she would address it this morning a.m. but NOPE! She secured the elusive cabin last night. I believe she had to call because it was there and then it was gone, someone must have been doing the same thing researching it and maybe "ghosted it" by placing it in their cart but alas, Sharla to the rescue (I picture her in a very stylish super human/hero cape.....) So I am looking forward to it, this is our first time in 12 cruises we have not had a balcony but with those windows I can't see how that would be a problem. To reiterate they did let me book with 3 people also. When you say you order MDR room service do they bring a proper table? It doesn't look as though there is anywhere to enjoy your meal. Our sailing is not until August 2020 but I surmise this just became available now do to a change or cancelation, quite excited to try this cabin. Thanks again friends!
