What a mish mash of furniture on the Royal Suite balcony. Hopefully that is temporary.

I really appreciate the posting of the hot tub with the chair lift.  I had searched quite a bit and couldn't find any. 

I would like to confirm--Is this the suite retreat area?  If so, then this is fantastic and at least alleviates my concerns in regard to the modified M class ships.  I ask because the photo is a little different from the other suite retreat photos and it looks like quite a large area.  But that would also be good if it is a large area because there won't be as much of a concern about not being able to find a lounger, like on the Royal Caribbean Oasis class suite retreat area.  And there would be a chair lift!!!

 

(Sorry, I tried to post the reply under the photo, but didn't do it correctly, so the photo is one post above).

Love the pictures of the RS.    Looks like bathroom is pretty much the same as from last upgrade.   I was on Constellation in July and found it to be almost the same.   I really like the new dining room table.  The previous one had these weird rounded legs that would hit you in the shin every time you would try to sit on the wall seating.

From what I see about the only balconies that have changed may be the new cabins they installed adjacent to the Gym

Too bad about the privacy. But happy to have the extra space.

With all the warnings to avoid over exposure to the sun and to use sun screen I'm surprised Celebrity is moving away from covering out door areas.

Is there a way to close the “porthole “ in the RS bedroom at night, we hope!!?

Yes there is a switch next to it and it pulls down a shutter inside the porthole.    Your room attendant will close it and your drapery every evening when they do turn down service.

Thanks, you are certainly the Celebrity top expert.

This is amazing thanks everyone that have shared pictures and renderings. In my opinion this ship will look amazing and kudos to Celebrity to upgrade the older ships.

Thanks for this as well.

Glad to see the sweet 16's were not changed. I like the muted tones in the rooms. And I am not usually a fan of that type of look. Looking forward to our Summit 2020 cruise now for sure.

Far from an expert but thanks for the complement.   We stay in RS's about 50% of the time -   I remember having the same question on my first cruise in a RS.

I'm actually surprised it is not as muted as the artist's conception.    What comes to mind is the new Rendezvous Lounge.   The one picture posted looks like it has more color than I was expecting.    Also some of the carpet in the public areas are a bit on the wild side.

I'm shaking my head at the photos of the retreat .... once again, no real shade provided.

 

We have been gobsmacked at the lack of shade on our last few Yacht Club sailings and spoke to senior staff about this.

They said that the wind would blow away umbrellas. When we said that this didn't seem to be a problem on ANY of the NCL Havens with their outdoor areas with umbrellas, we would get a look similar to one of our cats when denied a treat - confused and not comprehending the situation!

It’s a strange one in this day and age. We are all aware of the dangers of skin cancer ( my wife has had it twice) yet this does not appear to be recognised on many cruise ships. We love the S class because they have large areas either side of the pool undercover.

Here are the Royal Suite photos shared on another site. Looks nice. I see the same type of robes and Co Bigelow products that they had on Edge.

 

 

I agree looks nice, if I am in a suite  like that I wanted to look luxurious.  The furniture in the living room and dining room do not scream luxury to me .

Looks  like you could still sit at the bar without getting wet but that’s about it

Thank  you so much for the clarification that the photo is of the suite retreat area and for posting the photo.  We are so relieved that Celebrity appears to be at least going down the path of accessibility for the modified M class ships.  This is great news!
