I’ve stayed in a Star Suite before (which was fabulous where everything is included, along with Coastal Kitchen) and yesterday I was upgraded to an Owners Suite on Navigator, sailing in a week and a half. I stayed in one of those forward Jr. Suites with a ginormous balcony on Navigator less than 2 weeks ago, and that was worth the balcony and coffee maker, but I had also purchased The Key. This is another reason why I asked...trying to figure out if I need to purchase refreshment package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was very little he couldn't do. The minute we walked into the SL first night he was stopping each of you to book whatever you needed. He booked the ice skating show for us and gave us our tender tickets for Cabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe on Cunard you have to wear a tie after 6:00 anywhere outside your cabin. Not true. Many nights do not require a tie. Jacket yes, tie no. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ladder rung that RCI is on is fine by us. Although we have sailed once with X (a great itinerary we couldn't pass up) then had an X cancelled cruise and have replaced it with what will now be our 2nd cruise with them in May 2023 Hawaii-Vancouver. Nice but we don't sail for the perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our cruising has always been in JS (loved them) except for a few times when we have taken the family then we've done what used to be called RFS 2 bedrooms. Only in the last few years have we moved up. For our 2022 cruises we're in a GS's twice cause we wanted to be next door to our family that will be in 2bdrm suites. The rest of 2022/23 when we sail alone it'll be OS. It's taken us many years to move up but well worth it now. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. Healthy, happy & safe cruises to you !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a bar outside in the Cosmopolitan Club and another "service bar" close by. Behind the grill work in the picture below is the area where they have Continental Breakfast in the a.m. and snacks from 5pm-8pm. It's also where the coffee machine is. We got off on Monday and staff is there to serve you. We also enjoyed the outside area of the SL. It overlooks the sports court and is next to the Rock Climbing wall. We had a later sailaway from Cabo and enjoyed cocktails out there that night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated this (brown) chair arrangement in the SL last week...Who wants to sit with their back against what should be an ocean view. Then there are two chairs (not pictured) that the concierge had blocked off that no one could sit in...but of course there was a couple of ladies that thought it didn't apply to them.
