Editorial Summary

The creator explains that the benefits of booking a Royal Caribbean junior suite vary significantly depending on the ship class, the specific program selected, and the sailing. On older ships like the Vision, Radiance, Voyager, and Freedom classes, junior suite guests receive standard amenities such as bathrobes, luxury bathroom products, a Lavazza espresso machine, and priority boarding. For newer Oasis, Quantum, and Icon class ships, guests may also receive access to the Coastal Kitchen restaurant for dinner, though this is subject to availability. The creator notes that while some guests report difficulty accessing the restaurant, a crew member suggested that dining later in the evening typically ensures availability. The video also addresses the confusion caused by the Royal Caribbean website, noting that travel advisors can see specific program levels like Sea or Sky, while consumers must check the fine print. Ultimately, the creator concludes that whether a junior suite is worth the cost depends on individual budgets and whether the guest values the larger cabin and specific perks like the suite lounge or deck.

Creator's Key Takeaways

their Junior Suites are not all created equal and what makes it even more confusing is that the perks are going to depend on the ship what you paid and even the sailing itself

the biggest benefit you get is the bigger cabin which is what most people are looking forward to upgrading

Coastal Kitchen is getting to be rather empty and so by then if you don't mind eating dinner later you should be able to eat there

we did find on both cruises that we decided to upgrade it was worth it to us
