Thank you so much for watching! It really does mean the world to us!

Thanks for your video. We have a suite on the Coral Princess booked for a 35 night cruise through the South Pacific in March/April 2024. We were also lucky to recently be upgraded to a full suite onboard the Royal Princess for 13 nights over Christmas. This has definitely whet our appetite for our next full suite cruise. The Coral Princess looks quaint but still lovely. We can't wait.
FYI -- we always stay in an aft suite and specialty dining is complimentary on embarkation night. Not being in the suite at the start of your cruise you missed out on that. We've sailed on multiple Princess Grand Class and Royal Class ships in Penthouse Suites and other than thr embarkation comp specialty dining which you missed out on you hit every other nail on the head in your video -- great job!
1. I've been in a suite on several Royal class ships. The first night included specialty dining in their choice of venues. 2. I'd say that you're paying for the extra space AND Club Class Dining. We always really enjoyed that part of the package.
Sounds like the hotel director has watched your videos and is suitably impressed. From an exposure standpoint = could I say good publicity or advertising standpoint, I bet this was the best upgrade the hotel director did for this trip, and perhaps even for this year.
You both have me so excited to go on the Emerald Princess to Alaska 16 days. We have platinum package Balcony suite right off the elevator on Riviera deck 14.
Very nice suite and the perks with dining are quite nice. Thanks for sharing. We are currenlty in Oslo and doing the scenic train to Bergen tomorrow to board the Viking Mars for a 15 day Baltic cruise. Love Norway for sure,
I never thought about where the deck names originated from. I know they’ve maintained them since the early ‘70s, keeping with tradition, you could say. Didn’t realize what was included in a Suite Class. On the Discovery Princess back in April 2023, I think because Mom booked through AAA, we did receive a free night at Sabatini’s. But I think that was because it was a group booking though a specially travel agent, with…nothing to do with Suite Class. Man. The nuance of receiving different perks. Those strawberries did look pretty sweet, though. But that’s coming from someone not on a ship while watching this, where you’re not saturated with food is everywhere, all-the-where.
How lucky were you👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. My partner and I are going to be on the Coral Princess 110 nights world cruise Sydney to Sydney 2024. We are in a premium balcony (which we stayed in last year to make sure we liked it). It was great but I hope we get an upgrade to the suite in this video 😂. Pretty sure that won’t happen 😢. We love your videos and hope to meet you some day 😊
Sounds like a fantastic cruise! Suddenly I have a bunch of (probably inconsequential) logistics questions. How often will they take on fuel and food. How much of the original crew will be there at the end? I guess maybe this would not be different for them than doing 16 seven day cruises except with a lot fewer passenger changes.
@@brucegordon4992 the Coral is currently on a 107 day Sydney to Sydney. I believe they take on fresh food at most ports and would refuel as often as necessary. There is a couple of five or six (or even 7) days at sea so I’ve been on cruises where they’ve refuelled without even being at a port (from a tanker along side).
And most crew would be on for the whole trip as they have six to nine month contracts usually. But I’m sure there would be a few leave and fresh come on along the way as well. Sounds like you need to do one and come to the Captain’s Q & A 😀
This is a bit weird as I tried posting this twice yesterday however it did not show up. I hope Princess recognizes the great publicity they got by upgrading you. For folks paying attention information from people with extensive experience on multiple cruise lines is probably even better than a recommendation by Captain Merrill Stubing. And this suite looks wonderful.
The speed of the laundry can depend on how many elite members are on board, we've just come off the grand Princess from New Zealand to San Francisco the laundry was taking three days but still worth it. My wife loves going home with the suitcase full of clean laundry.
Oh, this really is how the other half live - a far cry away from my Coral Princess experience in my Outside cabin down on the lower decks, ha! Did you feel you used the cabin much more as a result of having SUCH a premium one, or were you still 'out and about' as much?
😂😂😂 we started out in an ocean view Fraser. But yes you’re right we spent much more of our day in the suite when we were in this one as opposed to going out more when we had an ocean view room. But why wouldn’t you when it’s such a relaxing area 😁
Nice! Wonder if you would have been offered this if you hadn’t been a cruise vlogger. Free laundry is a great perk on Regent SS. Shower curtains are a turn off.
Haha, we always stick to the same side and hope that it evens out over the course of our cruises (btw on this cruise Rich got the window side in both rooms we stayed in 🤔) Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks for watching David. We loved our 28 nights on the Coral. Hope you enjoy your cruise on her too 😁
35 Nights holy cow! That should be awesome! Sounds like it’s coming up soon.

Many thanks, excellent review as always.
Thank you Jo 😊
Nice review..i sure did love Club Class ..twice🚢😊
Thank you 😊
We have had a mini suite on Sapphite Princess and loved the suite class restaurant.
Thanks for watching Evelyn 😊

That sounds like an awesome cruise. We’ll keep our 🤞for the upgrade fairy to pay you a visit 😍
Thank you for this great information
Thank you for watching 😊
Celebrity Royal Suite outstanding 💖
They do look very nice but I think from memory the price point is probably quite a bit more 🤔

Thank you Bruce, that’s kind of you to say 👍
Suite guests who pay do get one complimentary specialty restaurant.
Thanks for watching and commenting Kenexx 👍

Ah, I see. Yes, coming home with only a few dirty items is such a benefit. 🙌😀
I have stayed in suites on Princess twice and on embarkation day specialty dining is included.
Thank you 😊
I love that there’s a fruit bowl ! Is that refilled daily?
We didn’t eat it enough to get it refilled daily but I’m sure they would if you asked them to 👍
Thanks for watching.

Good morning (afternoon for you). I may have missed it, but when is your next sailing?
Regent Splendour sailing in the Baltic.
A very generous upgrade.
Indeed. We were very appreciative 😊
Who got the window side of the bed? (Always a lively discussion in our marriage.)
Haha, we always stick to the same side and hope that it evens out over the course of our cruises (btw on this cruise Rich got the window side in both rooms we stayed in 🤔)
Thanks for watching 😊
That balcony is too overlooked.
We didn’t find it to be overlooked at all. We love that it’s midship rather than forward it aft like so many of the larger suites these days.
