DisneyWorld30th Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hi there, I am thinking about booking a Grand Suite for a cruise in 2019 on the updated Mariner of the Seas. I recently got off the Harmony of the Seas and was in a Grand Suite (Sky Class). I read the smaller ships do not have the three Suite Classes (Sea, Sky, Star Class). So what should I expect in a suite onboard the Mariner? Do they have a private place for breakfast or lunch? Suites Lounge? Suites deck? Suites area at CocoCay? Let me know!

You will still get Concierge lounge access Complimentary room service (plus access to MDR food to be delivered to your room) Upgraded bathroom toiletries Priority embarkation and disembarkation There is no suite deck on Mariner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to remember if that was a thing on Voyager class. I want to say yes, but I'm not entirely certain. I think they had a section like that on Navigator, because I remember sitting in that area once just for the principle of it and I don't think we've ever stayed in a suite on Freedom class.

Matt Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 As a follow up, Navigator does have a reserved pool chair area so I imagine Mariner does too. It's the yellow chairs near the Sky Bar Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 @DisneyWorld30th...this was posted by @mworkman a few months ago but it will give you an idea of non-OA/non-Quantum class suite benefits for GS and above: Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisneyWorld30th Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Last Question - @Matt @Lovetocruise2002 Is this considered a Suite (2 crown and anchor credits)? Ocean View Panoramic Suite And would I get the suite benefits in this room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 @DisneyWorld30th...I just booked Mariner for this August. We actually debated the same thing GS or JS. The price difference was $800 for 4 of us. We like the suites. However, hubby and I decided for a 4 night sailing, on a ship that does not have the Royal Suite class program, we could put the extra $800 towards airfare or gratuities or something else. Just food for thought and my two cents. We ended up taking one of the new JS room up on Deck 11. With it being new, that makes up for the smaller space of the JS.

Ocean View Panoramic Suite And would I get the suite benefits in this room? JS and above get 2 points per night....HOWEVER, I have looked into that above category before, here and elsewhere, and no one seem to be able to tell me if that particular category qualifies for suite benefits. Straight from RC about the points: One Cruise Point for each completed night of sailing and an extra Cruise Point per night when you purchase and sail in suite accommodations (categories RL, RS, PS, SL, TS,, TL A1, A2, A3, CL, OL, OS, OT, OP, FS, GL, GP, GS, GB, GT JS, J1, J3, J4, VT, VP, VO, VS L1, L2) and/or sail in any category and pay a single pricing type for double occupancy staterooms. All other rates including Travel Agent rates are excluded from single price type extra point promotion. Cruisetours are included as an additional night per each day on the cruise tour. Points will be awarded by rate paid not rate berthed, for example, in the instance of an upgrade from an outside to a suite category. Allow up to 30 days from the date of debarkation for Cruise Points to post to your account. Requests to add missing Cruise Points may be submitted up to 12 months after the debarkation date of your sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that is why I was booking this 4 night in a suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I noted on Adventure last month, like on Freedom class, there are loungers as Matt illustrated above that are roped of for "Gold Card" (GS Suites and above). I'm assuming Mariner does as well. Not exactly a suite sun deck like on OA/QU class but it's something. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
