Royal Suite on Navigator

[fac429]

Noticed that this suite has a wet bar, which seems... silly?  You can't bring your own booze on board, so what exactly are you going to do with the wet bar?  

 

More of a rhetorical question.  Just thought it was a strange use of the space...

They used to stock the bars in the royal Suites on every Royal Caribbean ship. A bottle and mixers each day. More fallout and restrictions from the George Smith incident.

Ah, that makes sense.  Thanks!

And a sad incident that was.

Drunk guy fell off / pushed off / thrown off a ship on his honeymoon.

You should probably Google it. There is a lot of information. It led to a change in RC alcohol onboard policies.

Thats very sad about George Smith

 

.... we were in a suite on Navigator many years ago and got friendly with the people in the Royal Suite after meeting in the concierge lounge. They had a party one night in the Royal Suite and the wet bar was fully stocked and run by RCI servers.

 

There was certainly no restrictions on alcohol that night and most of the senior officers and the captain were in attendance (some likely not drinking). The family were Texan oil barons or something like that so it was all very interesting to an average family from the UK 😀

Correct, but it still affected the entire fleet

I have seen lots of drunks since on rccl and sister company celebrity still gives you to liters of liquor for high end suites plus unlimited beers in fridge and a bottle of champagne.
