Illy espresso makers

[Dallasgal]

We love the F1 & F2 Cabins on the Explorer, but miss the illy machines that are in the Concierges Suite and above. Has any one ever requested one from their room steward?

No but I would assume that they would not be able to grant your request.  If passengers in lower category suites could get Illy machines, binoculars, etc., there would be no reason to book a "Concierge Suite".

 

Note:  A bit of history.  As you may know, Concierge Suites were put in place because no one wanted to book category 
"E" or "D" because they were identical to the lower suites.  Regent needed to find a way to get passengers to book these suites.  Thus came the Concierge Suites.

We were on a family cruise on the Explorer several months ago. A member of our party who was in an F2 on deck 7 already had an espresso machine in their suite upon arrival. Whether it was left there from the previous guest or not, we don’t know. So, it seems it might be possible. Just ask the steward for one. The worse that could happen is he would say “no.”
