Thumbs up Princess suites

Good afternoon,
I am interested in a Transatlantic Princess Cruise. Does Princess have butler service in its suites?
I have travelled on sister line Costa, and have had this service.
Please advise.
Alberto

Ther are no butlers on Princess. Not too many of the mainstream lines have butlers anymore. Celebrity still does.

Princess does not offer this service. Princess does offer some upgraded amenities. I have cut and pasted what Princess offers for these upgrades. This is directly from Princess website.

A suite with balcony is far more spacious than a mini-suite. It features two luxury twin beds and premium linens that make up into a queen-size bed, plus a large sitting area with sofa bed and desk. Upgrades include a DVD/CD player, free access to a DVD library, two televisions, refrigerator, wet bar, large walk-in closet, free laundry and dry cleaning services, a welcome glass of champagne and deluxe canapés. Your bathroom includes upgraded amenities, a tub and massage shower head. Approximately 461 to 687 square feet, including balcony.

Cruise Lines that do offer true butler service for selected catagories and sailings are Azamara, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, and Silversea. Holland America and NCL offer concierge service if you book certain categories.

I hope this information is helpful.

And don't forget to add Celebrity to your list. Celebrity still offers Butler service to all their suite guests on all sailings.

Char,
I noticed that MSC is offering a new Suite Class on its newest ship Fantasia. Is there any way to find out if they will include this service on their other large ships? I am booked on the Orchestra in a suite on their transatlantic repositioning in April of 09 on the Orchestra.
Thanks for all you do for us!!
Alberto

Alberto, I don't know!

Someone will be answering this question for you, I'm sure.

One of our Guides who is on top of the MSC cruises is on vacation right now, but will be back soon. Why don't you go over to the MSC forum and ask there, too?

Hi Albert, The new Suites are in an area known as the MSC Yacht Club which consists of 99 spacious suites, up to 700 sq ft, plus a bar, solarium, 2 jacuzzis, a pool with sky dome as well as offer guests their own concierge.
It will be on the sister ship, Splendida also, due to be delivered in June, 2009.

Unfortunately the Yacht club is not offered on the Orchestra.

As Ken stated, it is going to be on the brand new Fantasia, 133, 500 GRT, ship set to be delivered in December 2008.

I have a brand new "not released" dvd about the ship... I am planning a group on the Fantasia for April 2009...feel free to ask more questions...
