So, What’s It Like in Royal Suite Class?

4:48 PM 0

    On Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, staterooms in Sky and Star Class provide many inclusions that make family vacations pretty SUITE! 

The first, and most obvious, is the vast array of spacious accommodations that offer oversized balconies, large (and sometimes TWO) bathrooms with full-sized bathtubs, upgraded toiletries, and copious storage space. When you are traveling with a larger group, having this extra space to unpack and spread out is essential.


The luxury extends right down to the details in your room. You’ll enjoy a Pillow Menu for a perfect night’s sleep, plush bathrobes, and a Lavazza espresso machine for that first cup of coffee on your balcony. Plus, with stateroom service twice per day, your "home at sea" stays perfectly tidy.

Suite Guests have access to an exclusive lounge space with small bites and beverages available throughout the day, along with cocktail hours each evening. Some ships even provide sodas, specialty coffee, beer, and wine for guests’ enjoyment all day. A dedicated Suite Concierge is available in the lounge to assist with reservations, entertainment, and port excursions. In fact, the Concierge will contact you a week or more in advance to handle the heavy lifting before you even pack your bags.

     In addition to the lounge, suite guests are also privy to their own dedicated dining venue, Coastal Kitchen, which offers an elevated menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in an intimate setting. And if a quiet meal is what you long for, suite guests not only have room service at no additional charge, but if something on the Main Dining Room menu strikes your fancy, orders can be delivered directly to your stateroom for a private meal “at home.”


    The "VIP" treatment follows you all over the ship and even onto land. You’ll have access to the Suite Sun Deck—a private oasis with daybeds, chaises, and an exclusive bar. On many ships, this deck even features its own hot tubs and cabanas. When it's time for a show, there’s no need to line up early; you have a reserved seating section in every theater, including the Ice Rink and AquaTheater.


     Even your time in port is streamlined. Suite guests enjoy priority tendering, getting you to the pier faster. If your itinerary includes Labadee or Perfect Day at CocoCay, you’ll gain access to exclusive suite-only beach areas—like Barefoot Beach—complete with upgraded lunch menus that take "island food" to a whole new level.
Of course, you’ll want to share your amazing trip with folks at home, so everyone in the suite receives VOOM Surf and Stream internet included in the fare.

Clearly, when you’re booked in a suite on Royal Caribbean, you’ll want to begin your vacation right away. You’re in luck—suite guests have a dedicated check-in line and are among the first welcomed onto the ship. And when the trip sadly ends, priority departure ensures your transition back to reality is as smooth as your time onboard!

Coco Beach Club @ Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day at CocoCay

12:12 PM 0
A DAY IN PICTURES: 

Coco Beach Club 

Royal Caribbean's 

Perfect Day at Coco Cay

The Patisserie, the specialty coffee and pastry outlet onboard Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas, welcomes us to this private island in the Bahamas and sets the tone for today's adventure.


Although the clouds threatened a few morning sprinkles, they didn't last long and the day turned out to be sunny & pleasant.
They made it pretty easy to make ourselves at home - pointing the way to coffee and pastries to nibble on before the restaurant opened for lunch and providing lots of loungers to choose from.



While we chose a lounger near the pool and tiki bar, the Coco Beach Club offers a plentiful array of seating options for different family sizes and preferences. 

With it's infinity-edge pool, teak furniture and decking, and large, thick towels awaiting guests, the Coco Beach Club is a private beach resort on an already exclusive island.

Guests to the Coco Beach Club can enjoy amenities such as a large pool deck with abundant seating, shady umbrellas, life-preservers, and floating beach mats...



No matter where you choose to sit, you'll enjoy a picturesque view of the area's offerings...

...with spectacular views of the calm, teal shore of South Beach.

Of course a day at the beach isn't complete without a waterfront beach lounger...and extra-attentive beverage service!

A newly dredged shoreline at South Beach offers a soft sand bottom, sandbars for all-day frolicking among the calm, clear, turquoise waters.

We couldn't resist getting a panoramic shot of the beach club shoreline, flanked by the the first  over-the-water bungalows offered on a cruise line's private island.

A comfy lounger overlooking a crystalline infinity pool offers a perfect slice of paradise.

While the food offerings throughout CocoCay are both tasty and abundant, a special al-fresco restaurant at the Coco Beach Club provides stunning beach views and elevated options. Be sure to make your reservations early to have your choice of seating times.

The menu leans toward fresh seafood, but is quite varied.
After placing an entree order, guest can enjoy a buffet of starters such as vegetable crudite, hummus,  Greek and Caprese salads, and ready-to-eat shrimp.
Don't forget Beach Club specialty drink:
the Coco Cuvee


The filet mignon was grilled to perfection and to-die-for!
Don't skip dessert!
This caramel and chocolate brownie
left us super-satisfied. YUM!



The island easily - and comfortably- accommodated two large ships: The Mariner of the Seas and The (slightly bigger)  Anthem of the Seas. This is impressive planning on Royal Caribbean's part, as it was President's Week - so both vessels were filled to the brim with families. 

I hope you enjoyed our photo tour of the Coco Beach Club at Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Be sure to contact us if you have questions, comments, photo requests, or would like more information about planning your own cruise adventure.
