Stacy74 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hi, I'd love to surprise my kids with the ultimate family suite, although I'd also be happy with any of the suites that would accommodate the four of us that are star class. I was specifically looking at Liberty and Symphony because of their water slides and Flow Riders. Dates and destinations are a bit secondary because we've traveled a fair bit and have been to most of the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico destinations multiple times. More looking just to relax and be pampered for a week. Anyway, is there a way to search quickly to see which cruises have the Star Class options available without clicking into each cruise date one by one? Sorry for the newbie question. While we've cruised a bunch, never looked for the suites before. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotwheels Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I suggest to just call Royal or use a travel agent. Perhaps their systems can look up by room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 CruisePlum is a great cruise search tool. They have a new suite search feature where you can drill down to the specific ships and room types you are seeking!

Star Class suites are only available on Oasis (Symphony, Wonder, Harmony, Allure, Oasis) and Quantum (Quantum, Anthem, Ovation (for US departures)) class ships, so Liberty will not have SC. Allure, Harmony, Oasis and none of the Quantum class ships have the UFS but do have other SC suites. So for the UFS you would be on Wonder or Symphony.

Strange when I search star class some ships come up that I didn't think had the concept of star (i.e. Grandeur Of The Seas). Guessing it's including the top suite on them as star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably don't bring in the UK pricing, so that's why it isn't an option. But definitely a good starting point so you know where to go look over on Royal's site or wherever else you book through to look into!

smokeybandit Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 cruiseplum's prices can be a day or two stale, but it gives you a good estimate when comparing one cruise vs. another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCruiser Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Ultimate family suite you say? Feel free to adopt me prior to that cruise . I’m sure you could use a 47 year old son for a week. WAAAYTOOO and AshleyDillo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckruetze Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 17 hours ago, Stacy74 said: Hi, I'd love to surprise my kids with the ultimate family suite We are doing that next year on Symphony and in 2024 on Wonder. I told our travel agent the school holidays and how long we wanted to cruise and they camera back weithin minutes for possible sailings with the ultimate family suite available. So I second the suggestion to contact your travel agent. Also the suite won't be cheap. Sobif you are not from the US a locsl travel agent could be useful in other regards. We are from Germany and if there are problems with the our cruise getting cancelled etc. I deal with a local travel agent they are responsible for refunding me and not a US company that might or might not answer emails or phone calls.

Ampurp85 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Another point is something like the Ultimate Family Suite or 4-BR Villas will sell out fast, so you might have to be flexible with your timeframes. USCG Teacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fault, I re read the website and it's say premium and used star as an example. I'm assuming these top ones on the other ships are pretty equivalent to the star class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other ships do not have the Suites Class program, so those do not get the Genie, free laundry, free VOOM, other Star/Sky class benefits. They basically get access to the Suite/Concierge Lounge and some of them may get an escort onto the ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just sailed Freedom in the Royal Suite and it was nothing like star class at all, no additional benefits other than access to the suite lounge and escort on/off the ship. There is no complimentary VOOM, drinks, dining, laundry, genie, none of that. But then again, these ships without star are also much cheaper too.
