[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should try doing a cruise in first class.  They all offer some form of it.  On Royal it is called star class and on big ships it worth it.

We never ate in the dining hall for anything.  You get unlimited access to specialty dining and they deliver anything from any restaurant to your room.

You also never wait in a line, they escort you on and off the ship personally.  We were off ship in literally 10 Minutes with our luggage last day.

They won’t watch your kids for you, but will save seats at shows and stuff like that.[/quote]

Op here - we did this on celebrity. I just couldn’t enjoy it because of the toddler ;)

Though in general I really don’t love cruises, or at least not this experience on celebrity’s ever growing ships. The suite and speciality restaurant were nice but even in the retreat dining room it felt packed and so many people were sick. Two mornings ago at breakfast in the exclusive dining room there was a woman at the next table hacking up a lung talking about how sick she’d been the first few days of the cruise. And sure enough, my oldest woke up with a cold this morning as we prepared to return home. Constant close proximity to so many people was just too gross for me. Everyone is packed in like sardines, even in “first class.” We got on and off the ship first as part of this class and even that is just irritating to me. I think if you’re older, childless or your kids are older it’s easier. But it doesn’t change a lot of the factors I did not enjoy.

I enjoyed celebrity in the past - but obviously it was impacted by being with a toddler in, and I also think the ships are getting bigger and more jammed. Lastly, like I previously said, too much access to food.

I’m happy to be home! [/quote]

That sounds terrible.  On Royal we had our own deck only accessible with star class cards.  There were 7 restaurants plus one for suite guests.  Sun deck for suite guests only where it was 20 chairs to 1 guest.

We had reservations at a different restaurant every night and breakfast/lunch delivered to suite.  
Room ranges from 30k a week to 90k, but there were only 9 of them on the ship.[/quote]

30 - 90k  for one week on a lame ass cruise lol[/quote]
