Simon84 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Hi, after some help please… Our opportunity to Royal Up on The Explorer of the Seas is now live. There’s the chance to bid for the above upgrade and having looked at the perks, I just wanted to check people’s experience with the perks for this suite type on the EOS or other similar ships. The perks I’m most interested in are: The Suite Lounge. Do we get access, am I right in saying there’s complimentary drinks at a certain time every day and if so when? Are kids allowed in there? Breakfast at Chops. Is this included for guests? Pool: I don’t think there’s a suite pool on this ship? To be honest, I’m expected to spend a few dollars every day on alcohol (without warranting the DBP). As such, if I’m getting a few drinks every day in the lounge then I can mentally offset that from the upgrade cost thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon84 Posted February 15 Author Report Share Posted February 15 Thanks for the great information. Based on the free drinks alone for a couple of hours a night, we’ll definitely get value. I’ve bid £300 which is almost the most i can bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly a lot of the websites we (I) depend on for ship information just do not deliver in accuracy! Kind of frustrating. Sorry, @Simon84 for misleading you with the perks!

WAAAYTOOO Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 1. Suite Lounge - Yes. Full access including happy hour where the beverages are complimentary for suite guests. Children are welcome 2. Chops breakfast - yes 3. Suites pool - no. We stayed in one of the panoramic suites on AD for Christmas and New Years cruises this past December. They are really nice. Very big. Negatives - you feel all of the ocean's motion by being high and on the bow. Since you are all the way forward, you are pretty much on the wrong end of the ship for most of the things that we do - like the SL....but both of those negatives are worth having these beautiful suites.

No dedicated pool but they do have a small area on the pool deck that is suites only seating. However it is not directly next to the pool. It's usually in an area of tiered seating next to the steps up to the bar. Also keep in mind your daily gratuities goes up when in a suite.
