Cabin Amenities
 
We are about to enbark on our first RCCL cruise aboard the Grandeur of the Seas, in a Category C cabin. Past couple of cruises have been with Celebrity. Are robes provided in the cabin for use during the cruise? Also, when ordering room service are you limited to a specific menu or can you order anything that is being offered in the main dining room at that time? TIA.

<BR>Hi Debi, <BR> <BR>You have been spoiled. You will sailing on a mass-market cruise line. Only in the suites are robes available and they do not change them every day. And they take them away on the last sea day (probably due to the fact that many people took them home). <BR> <BR>The room service menu is just limited fare. Do not plan on eating very often in your cabin. The food is nothing to write home about. <BR> <BR>I believe you will still have a good time and save money to boot. <BR> <BR>Paul <BR> <BR>

Thanks, Paul..one more question...do they offer "high tea" in the afternoon on those days at sea. and YES we have been spoiled...Celebrity is a great cruise line and we would have used them if they had a similar intinerary as this one.

Debi-Normally a category 'C' on RCI is a suite category. They usually run R-A-AA-B-C and sometimes D in the suites. <BR>You might be pleasantly surprised when you board. <BR>Toto

<BR>RCCL does not have tea-time. <BR> <BR>Grandeur "C" cabins are not suites but they are fairly good sized. At least compared to the size of the other categories. <BR> <BR>The only ships that have "C" suites are the Voyager, Explorer, Rhapsody and Vision. <BR> <BR>Paul

debi: FYI, just got back from a Carnival cruise and white terrycloth bathrobes were provided in all outside cabins with balconies.

Category C is considered a Suite...not sure what additional amenities that this provides over a stateroom on RCCL.

Thank You Debi, I know that category 'C' on RCI is a suite category because I just came off an RCI cruise in a 'B' but had originally booked a 'C' (Suite). <BR>I knew that Paul T posted the wrong responce, or at least put it this way, did not include all of the RCI ships with 'C' suites, but since he usually does that, it just wasn't worth argueing with him. <BR>Toto

debi, RCCL has a website, www.royalcaribbean.com you may find on the site, the answers to your questions. <BR>Also, try cruisecritic.com and cruisemates.com <BR> <BR>I hope this helps you

<BR>Toto, <BR> <BR>I do not make things up. Simply look at the RCCL brochures. Where are you getting your information? <BR> <BR>Paul

The RCCL GRANDEUR of the SEAS Cat. C is a Superior Oceanview SUITE ....please look again, Paul

Marilyn Sep 6th, 2001 05:14 AM

On both Grandeur and Legend the Cat C's are suites. That is per their brochure.

Toto Sep 7th, 2001 11:17 AM

Paul-My information is not 'gotten', it is lived. We just got off the Legend of the Seas and the "C" category is a suite because we booked it. We ended up getting an upgrade to a "B" but as I said previously, on these ships the "C" category IS a suite. Better get some new brochures because it is listed right there in them. <BR>Toto
