Carnival Suite Perks

We will be in the Captain's Suite on the Carnival Splendor.

Just wondering if you get escorted to your cabin, fresh flowers/fruit basket waiting for you in room, etc.

Thx

We'll be in a CS on the Splendor, too! I don't believe there are any extra perks-other than space. I'm sure more experienced folks will have more info, however!

I can't speak directly to your question. However, I just had a couple of friends sail in the Owner's Suite on the Carnival Fascination. They did get a number of perks which are not part of the standard program for Carnival suites. I believe they have posted/will post more details about their perks at the link above.

We had the Captain’s Suite a few years back. I recall we received a bottle of wine and a small fruit basket. We also received many “gift cards” to the spa and the art auction/gallery in the hopes of us spending more money. You don’t get escorted to the Captain’s Suite. For the amount of money spent, the perks were definitely lacking. With that being said, I would book it again just for the balcony and the views alone. Not to mention having my family of 5 in the same cabin.

lol, keep your expectations low, and your enthusiasm high.

We will be there on Aug 26th, how about you? Maybe we will be neighbors!

February.

I'd love to hear how it goes and if you DO receive any perks!!

Have a great trip!!

You get to bypass the Embark lines with a Suite! A couple bottles of water, and one free bag of laundry. It's really all about the extra space and Balcony. Enjoy your cruise!

you get a separate waiting room prior to boarding, often so crowded there is no seating available. you get to board early. you get.....opps that's it. You also get first shot at disembarkation, if you can fight your way to the gangway after Carnival begs folks to not jam up the stairwell (which everyone ignores).

This alone was worth it for me. Got to our port and heard a porter telling the guy in front of me that the wait from here was around 2 hours. Gave him our bags afterwards and headed to the priority line, nobody was waiting there. Headed to the little room with the seats to get our cards - we were only ones there, then got on the ship. Was fantastic. We also got priority disembarkation. We did the one where you put the bags out in the hall. Then in the morning waited in the theater and someone escorted us down as a group, held the elevator just for us and we were off pretty fast. I know fttf gives you the same but it didn't give me a balcony so suite was worth it.

Carnival fails miserably with respect to suite perks; mostly just extra real estate.

We enjoyed being in the Penthouse Suite on the Carnival Ecstasy a few years ago. It was a fantastic experience!! The suite perks are not as good as other cruise lines we have been on, but the experience on the Ecstasy worth it for celebrating our anniversary.

Pictures of that suite and cruise are on my wife's website at the link below my signature. Happy Travels wherever you go next.

Here's a link that will take you there. The man with the ear-to-ear smile is me!

You pay for a bigger room and you get a bigger room. Sounds fine to me.

It was fantastic. There were wall to wall/floor to ceiling windows in the living room and bedroom overlooking the Lido deck. The dressing room and walk in closet were spacious. The bathroom was huge.

A memorable cruise even without the special perks of the other cruise lines we have been on.

Carnival is lacking when it comes to suite perks. Look elsewhere if perks are important.

when you compare carnival suite with other cruise lines-- carnival is always cheaper by quite a few $$

you get priorty check in-- not instant access to your cabin (Unless you buy FTTF)

Some suites do not accomadate 5 people depends on the ship Older ships are grandfathered in and allows for roll aways

Thank you all for the info! Not looking to be special, just wondering of any goodies that should come our way :)

are you aware the shades must stay down at night time too?

I didn't hear him say that in the video you posted. Am I just missing it?

Most likely we will put them down at night - but why?

This is standard for cabins with front-facing windows on all lines. The light from the cabin can reflect up the bridge and distract the crew from seeing what’s in front of the ship when it’s dark.

I don't stay in suites so I also don't check their prices. Many people express the same opinion as you do. Because Carnival offers less do Carnival's suites have less of an upcharge than competitors compared to non-suite prices?

That is correct. I have had friends stay in those cabins and it is mandatory that they remain closed at all times at night so that when your cabin lights are on it doesn’t interfere with the navigational bridge. I even remember hearing once when someone had their shades open they got a phone call or visit from a crew member telling them to close the blinds.

We have stayed in a Family Veranda cabin twice on Celebrity and were told by the RS to keep the shades closed which was fine because it’s so dark there’s really nothing to see anyway.
