Lovetocruise2002 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 What type of suite perks do you get on Independence of the Seas? It would be for a sailing in 2019 after the refurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Which suite are you referring to? There aren't Royal Class Suite perks on Indy, so if you are in a Grand Suite or above, you get some basics like... Access to concierge lounge Invite to a special event or two Priority embarkation/disembarkation Reserved seats by the pool Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 [assuming you are in a GS or above] There will be a Suites (and Pinnacles) breakfast in one of the specialty dining venues (usually Chops but could be anywhere). Some ships only have this on port days but I think it's pretty much every day now on most ships. I love this perk. It is a nice, quiet, leisurely sit-down and be served b'fast. Also, you can order room service off the MDR menu at no additional charge. This is opposed to having a limited room service menu from which to order (and pay $7.95!!).

I've never sailed Freedom class before but was aware that Royal Class suite perks don't apply that's why I was wondering what you get exactly. Is there a SL/CL? I know you don't get complimentary VOOM. Do you get dining anywhere that is similar to CK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAAAYTOOO Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 The whole SL/CL thing on Adventure has been a moving target. They were originally going to replace the CL with a SL during a recent refurb but then had to delay that enhancement. I really have no idea when they are going to be making that change but I believe that the plan is still to eliminate the CL on Adventure an replace it with a SL. No, there really isn't an equivalent to the CK on any of the other ship classes (other than O an Q class ships). That's why they have the special breakfast in one of the specialty restaurants. Unfortunately, still nothing to replace the CK for lunch and/or dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a much more sedate environment. There is no "group" seating - you are always given a private table. I think the service is more personal but there are usually a few items that are self-serve but you're only a few steps away from those as opposed to walking halfway across the dining room in the MDR. It's a very similar experience to b'fast in the CK. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wohoo! A little envious of the xmas cruisers. I'll have to wait until retirement most likely, due to work (it's our busiest/no-vacations-in-December time of year).
