We shelled out some money and opted for a Grand Suite on the Serenade of the Seas. We were in cabin 1536, which is on the starboard side of the ship. The suite was wonderful. There was TONS of room to store luggage, clothing and personal belongings. It reminded us of an actual hotel room! The bathroom had two sinks and a tub. Included in the room was a DVD player and a stereo. This was a nice addition because we were able to plug our mp3 player into the built in cabin speakers. Nice! |

| The cabin included a sleeper sofa and a few sitting chairs. It also included a mini-bar and huge balcony. | |

| On some days we received "little plates" of food. We had read that on some ships Grand Suite guests are welcomed with a bottle of champagne. That never did appear, but the fruit bowl, cheese plate, and truffle plate (not shown), did arrive. | |

| One of the nicest "perks" with a grand suite is having access to the concierge lounge. The lounge provides a nice quiet place to relax while on-board. In the morning you have access to a continental breakfast and a coffee machine, which was awesome. In the evenings they have complimentary drinks hosted by Maritza. The lounge was a great place to meet some very interesting and fun people. We really looked forward to our nightly "before dinner" drink because we got to meet so many nice people. And speaking of nice people, Maritza was absolutely super. She was helpful in answering our questions and always made us feel welcome. She goes above and beyond the call of duty. She really made our vacation enjoyable. | |

Another nice benefit of having a suite is the wonderful view. Almost all of our outdoor "ocean" shots were taken from our balcony. Suite guests also get priority tender tickets which came in handy at Icy Strait Point. We are not sure if we can afford a suite every time we cruise, but it is now going to be hard to go back to a standard cabin. |
