Thank you, good to see the different options.
Great rooms! The bathrooms are so much better than I remember! Thanks for sharing!
They were much larger than expected that’s for sure!!
Wow that balcony of that junior suite 😍
No kidding. I was a little jealous
Gorgeous room!! Thank you for sharing your cruise, definitely inspired us to take one soon.
We highly recommend! Super fun experience!
Great Video, very informative. Love the balcony views.
Thanks for watching!!
Nice, detailed room tour! Interesting they have a subwoofer in this room. I wish they outfitted their shower curtains with glass. Freedom of the Seas regular balcony has glass
Thanks for the heads up
Thanks so much for this video. We will be sailing on our first cruise September 4 on Liberty, 7 night Western Caribbean. We currently have a spacious balcony midship. Because I have issues with daily nausea(without being at sea) we thought this location would be best. I just got an invitation to Royal Up to JS or GS. I thought that the beds were supposedly more comfortable in these suites which would be great. Also was told by some that we are sailing with that the internet package was included as well as drink package. After reading though your comments this doesn’t seem to be the case. Another perk is COFFEE! My fear is that if we do get a grand suite, the location will not be great and we will be stuck. Happy to have found your channel!
Thank you so much for watching and sharing. I hope you have a great time! We did have the coffee maker in the room which helped, but we did purchase our own drink package separately and did not have the internet package with the royal up offer - unsure if this is just with Royal up vs full payment or what.
Wowzers
If every cruise room was like this one, I could see a whole lot more people taking cruises
Great vid! We go on the rhapsody on Monday, I bagged the royal suite - were only gonna honeymoon once!
Hell yea that should be awesome. We already can’t wait for our next one and we just got off Symphony in May
Very helpful
Thanks Bob! Hope you find more videos to help!
nice comparison . thanks
Glad you liked it
OK, I'm not sure if you guys have enough shoes! LOL Thanks for showing us the rooms!
You ain’t seen nothing SusanBusbee…I think the Mirage room your had 15 pairs behind the couch 😂
@@JoshRachael lol and I thought I was bad taking 3 pairs
Shoot I tried to go back and find footage of the shoes but I must’ve done some amazing editing to cut it out. It was a tad bit ridiculous
Just did my first Royal up t a GS and hopefully we win!!
Sweet! Hope you get it!
Just did a 200 dollar bid from a JR to a grand… now we wait
Good Luck!
We have yet to go on a cruise, but this makes me want to ASAP! lol The extra $200 per person for the Grand Suite seems to be well worth the upgrade compared to the Junior Suite 👌 I do love that Junior Suite balcony more, but I wouldn't complain having the Grand one 😂 Thanks for sharing guys!!! - Justin
It was so worth it! Thanks so much for watching 😊
Hi, we bid 155.00 and just got email for grand suite. We sail Friday! CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT IT
Heck yea!!! Good to know we sail again in December. What cruise?
@@JoshRachael
Royal Caribbean's Bahamas and Coco Key 3 night cruise
Awesome! Were you in an interior room or balcony before the upgrade? Trying to figure out what bid we will need to do on our next cruise in December haha
@@JoshRachael
We had a balcony room
Cool that’s what we had on this last trip but our December is currently interior with hopes of upgrading
Great informative video. can you please tell me what all other perks I can get if I stay in grand suite in freedom class?
Onboarding process was thru the suite line - much shorter. They did give us access to the diamond lounge or suite lounge area not sure if they still do that though, access to different lounge area on pool deck, bathrobes, bathroom was much better, espresso machine,
Thank you so much@@JoshRachael
Hi! I was wondering what the sea perks were for upgrading to the Grand suite? Did it come with the free internet package? Drink Package? Specialty restaurant dining comped?
Thanks for watching! Not as many perks as one might think. The extra perks we noticed included a water bottle and fruit brought to our room most days, access to Chops for breakfast when open, access to the Suite Lounge which has food and drinks (not very different from the buffet and other bars) but no specials on the drinks, dining or internet package.
Great vid/ suite comparison and thank you for advising of the upgrade bid price!! We're booked for July same itinerary in a JS and now I want to try and bid up to a GS as the decor et al appears so much more comforting & inviting than that of a JS.....oh my!! Thanks again! Oh and Q. as i see you have replied to others whereas some vloggers fail on that, is when you bid and won - what perks did you get in the GS? I know that when one books, one gets the perks but have heard when specifically bidding, either some or not all perks are included in the bid upgrade. TIA, Connie
Thank you for watching our video! It has been a little while since we did this but some of the perks I remember from the GS was got a water bottle a couple times in our room along with snack (fruits, sweets, etc) and access to the Suite Lounge. We had all perks you should get at full price it seemed, including double points! Good luck and have fun
@@JoshRachael that’s awesome. Thank you!!! I’ve heard some who got the bid upgrades but didn’t for e.g. get lounge access and now knowing that you did get perks among others!!! Love it. And again, thank you for your reply!!
@@connietinney5418 Thank you :)
@@JoshRachael thank you for taking the time out of your vacation to post and more so now with a reply!! Glad I subscribed!
@@connietinney5418 We really try to do our best to respond to every comment. We get frustrated when we leave questions with zero response so we understand. Hope you find more fun videos!
Did you get to have a complimentary upgrated menu room service for the Grand Suite and or do the Jr. Suites have that also? Would love to be able to have the food from Main Dining room brought up and either eat in the room or on the balcony. thx
We actually didn’t try any room service. We like to get out of the room but know friends who did the room service free and enjoyed it. Don’t think it was the full menu option
Like Coastal Kitchen in bigger ship, did they provide any restaurant in Independence Of The Sea as Grand Suite guest perk?
No coastal kitchen that I remember. I think they do chops breakfast so you don’t have to do MDR or Windjammer
Thank you@@JoshRachael
When you do Royal Up do you get the same benefits for suites? I loved being able to take breakfast into the steakhouse when we sailed on Freedom! The buffet was insanely crowded each day.
Yes - same benefits or as far as we know it was, neither of us had been in a suite before!
@@JoshRachael and now it will be hard to go back 😉
My accessible room on another ship was bigger than that grand suite and I just watched 2 other videos with bigger suites on royal so I'd be disappointed if my room was like this. I cruise a lot with royal but I have my frustrations. I'm thinking I need one of those loft suites. They are amazing.
We were happy with it for the price. I suppose if you have the money there are much nicer ones out there. Thanks for watching
@@JoshRachael Yeah it depends on the cruise because I am only looking to do it on the shorter ones. Every ship is different too I like the newer ones now.
Okay, question. Leaving for freedom of the seas- in Dec. we are currently in a junior suite (cruise was originally booked for May 2020 so they upgraded us quite a bit) do you think if we bid for a grand suite we would get it? Or should we stay with the junior considering we didn’t need to pay anything extra?
Ships are definitely more and more full now, I think you will need to bid over the minimum which is what I bid when I did this video. We are currently on a ship and tried 50-100 more than min to get the Junior suite and did t get it. Always worth trying I feel have fun
$200 per person for that upgrade I think is well worth it! I have a cruise booked for December and was given the option to "royal up" but a grand suite wasn't offered(junior only). The minimum bid for that was $200 so I'm EXTREMELY JEALOUS I wasn't able to get the same deal 😩 lol I'm curious though, on average, when does royal Caribbean let you know if your bid was accepted??
Shoot we are cruising again in December as well and were hoping to get upgraded to the Grande Suite again for 200 per person. We were super stoked about it, I guess we should just be happy that we cruised early enough to get the chance. We (and our friends) found out that our Royal Up bids were accepted within 2-4 days of the cruise, Good Luck!
Another cruisers website stated they found out about their royal upgrade when they checked in!
Josh, you are so handsome. Do you come with the grand suite? Yumm!
Thank you
Did you ever go to the suite lounge for the free drinks between 5pm-8pm?
We did once or twice but preferred going elsewhere since we had the drink package and friends who didn’t have suite lounge access so we wanted to be somewhere with them!
Can you tell us about perks for first time suits experience?
Not as many perks as one might think. The extra perks we noticed included a water bottle and fruit brought to our room most days, access to Chops for breakfast when open, access to the Suite Lounge which has food and drinks (not very different from the buffet and other bars) but no specials on the drinks, dining or internet package.
I did the royal up for my upcoming Oct Cruise. I did the minimum for both a JS or a GS. Have not heard yet. I am more than 15 days out still.
Awesome. Please let us know how it works out, we are booked for another in December and plan on trying
Will do. I have never been in a suite. My oct sailing will be my 6th cruise. I have not tried any other cruise line.
@@JoshRachael hi what date in december we are going dec 3 and we do the royal up for grand suite but only bit 170 for person
@@Cuban_miami We are booked on December 15th I think. We have not gotten anything about Royal Up yet, so unsure if we will be able to try it again. Good Luck
Was the upcharge per person a total charge or per night?
Per person for the entire trip not per night.
IN the Grand suite is there a bed that comes down from the ceiling??
Definitely not this one, but would be cool!
What did you think? Which would you go for?
Since I have to travel alone now I'd be happy with the junior - and the cost ( if that can be carried over). I can see myself sleeping on the balcony 😉
Hi guys love your videos. A
Like you guys I get my rooms comped in 400 to 500 free play and dining credits through cosmo and wynn. But due to more kids activities offered at royal carribian actually paying for my cruise to Mexico. How is the casinos at navigator boat. Also does the casino give u good comps etc thanks
Awesome thank you! We have been on Navigator, I am pretty sure our day one video some. Nothing big or special but most of the casinos have enough that you can find a few machines you will enjoy. We have been happy with the comps being free cruises but don’t expect much in terms of free play and others
Hey Guys......I wouldn't mind paying $200.00 more per person for that room and balcony. Very comfortable........Like Home.....Lol. How was the food in the dining room? Take Care From Bethlehem Pa.
We didn’t eat in the main dining room this time - we did the ultimate dining package, so we took advantage of all the specialty restaurants! In December, we plan to try out the main dining area!
Shower with satan??? That is hands-down the creepiest mosaic tile in the bathtub area I’ve ever seen in my life. And as a parent, I know that would freak out every child!
Haha great catch!!!
How do can you do the royal up program?
After you book your room RC will email you within 2 months offering you to bid. You should find out if your bid was accepted within a week of your cruise
Great. I’ve already booked a jr. suite that’s handicapped accessible. My husband has mobility issues. Do you have any suggestions about renting a scooter/wheelchair for the cruise? Thank you
@@janetstansbury6568 sorry not sure how that works, have not done so, but the staff is amazingly accommodating on the phone or in person
What month did you cruise .
This cruise was in August of 2021
@@JoshRachael Thanks we booked a balcony on the same one for September. I bid $550 for Owner suite $410 for GS and $110 for Jr..... will "sea" what happens .
Oh man hope you get a good one. We are going on a cruise in August and won with a bid $290 per person for an upgrade from Interior to Balcony and got it. It is a little higher than some but its a small ship - Enchantment of the Seas so there are a lot fewer balcony rooms to choose from.
@@JoshRachael Nice, been on Enchantment this will be our 25th cruise. We've done the majority of those on Royal, you should sign up for their crown and anchor program if you haven't already and get points for each cruise you take with them/perks.
@@thadvanness9409 Oh for sure, we will be hitting Diamond on our October Cruise. Doing two European cruises in the next 4 months! Planning on matching to Celebrity after that and see if there are some options to sail with them next
Which ship are you on?
Freedom of the Seas!
Thanks. Just booked a cruise on Serenade of the Seas for next October. 😎
The lowest bid mine will allow is $710pp 😂
Yikes! We seemed to have gotten lucky on our timing to get ours
