annenic Posted February 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hi, Just received advice our Move Up to Sky Suite on Eclipse was accepted! Yay! But now I have some questions as I am a bit unsure of what perks and amenities we are now able to enjoy. Are we able to dine at Luminae and Blu? Are we able to go to the Retreat? Does the Eclipse actually have a Retreat? From my googling it seems it may have a Retreat of sorts, but no pool. Any other perks we are able to attain? We already had gratuities, drinks package included and our status is Elite. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted February 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2023 You will dine in Luminae. Blu used to be space available to all suites but we have recently been told it upper suites only. But Luminae is way better anyhow. You will have access to Michaels Club lounge which has been rebranded Retreat Lounge on Revolutionized ships but it's the same thing. Your drinks in this lounge will be at the premium package level and complimentary. But outside this lounge your existing Classic package will be used, you will have basic wifi. The difference in gratuity amount between your original booking and suite are supposed to be charged to your seapass account. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Eclipse doesn't have a suite only sun deck. You should be invited to several suite events which can vary from ship to ship. You will enjoy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annenic Posted February 5, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Yeah. What do we do with a Butler????? I guess they are available for booking things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted February 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Yes they also deliver any meals or snacks you order from Room Service. DH has them bring OJ every morning. They will stock your mini bar with soda, water, and beer of your choice. . Pick up and deliver any laundry , escort you to the reserved seating in the theater for Suite guests on Evening Chic nights.

Kybee Posted February 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2023 How do you submit a “move up” and who qualifies? We’ve only been on 2 cruises with Celebrity and are still novices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCPIV Posted February 5, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2023 For that matter, you also should have the suite room service menu which is a good step up (especially for breakfast). Retreat Concierges also can be mighty helpful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovecruzin Posted February 6, 2023 #10 Share Posted February 6, 2023 In December on Exlipse, sky suite guests were allowed to dine in Blu, if you really want to have a meal there ask the retreat host/hostess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that is another recent change. Only RS and above can dine in Blu. I’m guessing that reclassifying some Sky Suites as Aqua Sky Suites with access to Blu has put a strain on Blu. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted February 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Our experience was Equinox in early September. Maybe a ship to ship difference. We were told it was a new directive from Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised our friends could dine in Blu at any time, it was always busy during prime hours. I’m not unhappy with this decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Virgo Posted February 9, 2023 #19 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Agree. What you had is what you get. (new change). . If you get the move up to Suite you are entitled to go to Luminae for your meals, The Retreat Lounge, priority embarkation/disembark. You maintain the perks you had with original booking.

I didn’t think stocking fridge was standard for lower suites , we did have it stocked on last cruise on beyond but I thought it was up to butler?

Correct, it isn’t a published amenity but ask nicely and see if the Butler is willing to do it. 6 hours ago, Azeri77 said: I have read if you upgrade to a suite you Do NOT get the perks, you only get for what you originally paid.

You get the amenities of the suite you have upgraded to like Luminae & the Retreat, but you do not get any perks like the premium drinks package/wifi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the lounge bar is open 07:00 - 23:00, some local variations to be expected by ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
