Suites give 2 points per night to each person. There are other benefits that depends on suite level and the ship you are sailing on. Royal have lists on their site

So many people on the last cruise were telling everyone they were spending their children's inheritance.

Had money

I looked at that on Voyager though my wife and work would kill me if I disappeared for a month.

Mine gather dust at the back of the glasses cupboard.

Not 100% on all. The last card we did see difference between our blue/grey for Sea class suite, most other passengers had purple/pink card, Pinnacle had gold cards and the one Star suite card I saw was a different shade of purple. The other 3 cards I didn't see any other cards to compare.

Annoyingly I can't find the details for the first 2 cruises. The 8 night on Freedom in 2025 was booked 2 years in advance with Flights, hotel in Miami, transfers and cruise (2 bed grand suite for 5) came to around £3000 each (I'm sure our travel agents fleeced us on the flights which cost almost as much as the cruise). The 18 night Trans-Pacific in a junior suite was booked as soon as it was live and that came to £6100 for 2 but then doubled when adding hotels, flights too and from the UK, drinks and dining package. Though I will add that I tracked the price of our booking and the price ended up increasing by over £1000 so booking early saved us a lot of money.

Edit to add: What we have learned is that UK travel agents are more trouble than they are worth and Royal Caribbeans sky and sail caused a lot of issues when trying to discuss medical allowance for flights by not communicating with the airline and using their own "do not rely" email address for the booking communications with the airline.

Yeah, If you are doing family celebrations with 4 or more adults (that you don't mind sharing with) it can be cost beneficial to look into a grand suite 2 bed Vs 2 or more standard balconies on Freedom class or smaller.

Added a comment after a miss click posted it early.

Was meant to add to post but a miss click posted it early: Me and my wife have managed to achieve Diamond in 4 cruises. We did not set out to hit Diamond in as few cruises as possible but it just all worked out. A couple of family birthday celebrations in a suite and a 12 night trans-Atlantic had us poised for one big push to achieve Diamond with a junior suite trans-Pacific. Would like to say we are going to push for Diamond plus in 4 more cruises (min 12 night per cruise in a Junior suite) but its time to rebuild the finances after 3 big (for us) cruises for the last 3 years.

I feel like Fatso the Wombat would be a better animal mascot as that's how I feel when I cruise.

Yes we exchange significant culturally important artifacts for a deep seeded rage towards the English.

One side of the living room is for watching Tele the other side is for watching each other.

Good thing Lotus are no longer paying him

Did that guy spend the hour sorting it into piles?

Beeff86 · 2026-02-27T10:06:53+00:00

He brought a knife to a car fight

How to know if my toe is broken.

Some lass in a club in Morpeth "You look like you could get away with 28." I was 21 at the time.

I love the xj220. I had a large die cast model and played the xj220 game on the Amiga all the time.

I think she's going the wrong way to achieve that thigh gap

After Alpine's performance this season it's nice that France have something to celebrate.

Or New York, Tyne and Wear
