If You Have A Suite ( Cat 3 ) Is The Romance Package A Waste Of Money????

[KELLIE JONES]

I am booking on monday and i just thought about this question. Since we are getting suite with concierge service, will the romance package a waste? please correct me if i am wrong but i was under the impression that you get flowers, priority spa/palos ressies. would buying the champange and chocolates on my own be a better deal?? also, could i ask/pay for the romantic turndown service ( i understand it is rose petals in the bed, and that would be nice. wink wink )



TTFN, Kellie

Don't forget the "couples massage" which would cost approx. $180 or so, and which makes up most of the total cost of $299. for this package. Personally, the ability to book Palo before the cruise is a nice perk, but definitely not one of the reasons why we'll be booking the package.
Have a great cruise, either way!!

A fellow cruiser just booked this (I have it too) and found this out for us:

"The $10 per person fee for dinner at Palo is included in the price of the package. I just spoke with the dining coordinator at DCL, as the reservationists at DCL were telling me differently, and she confirmed this. At this time, as a courtesy to guests booking this package, Disney is also making advance reservations for Palo brunch and high tea. However, the $10 per person service charge for brunch is NOT included in the package price.

The couples spa treatment is also scheduled in advance. They only have two treatments to choose from with this package. The first is a 50 minute couples Well-Being massage with aromatherapy oils and the other is a combination treatment with a 25 minute couples Spa Taster (back of legs, back, neck and shoulder massage) and a 25 minute facial booster.
The other components of the package include a gift in your stateroom, champagne breakfast in bed one morning and one romantic turndown service (done on the night you schedule dinner at Palo). "

Hope that helps!

The4OfUs, this is interesting because both times I've talked to a CM, they have said the 10.00 fee was not included. It's too bad they don't make this more clear in the pkg. You'll have to let us when you come back!! Have a great time.
Either way, we booked the pkg.


Kellie, have a great cruise whatever you decide!!

I've heard it both ways but my MIL (who is my TA) SWORE that the dining coordinator (Debbie, who I've heard nothing but wonderful things about in terms of her helpfulness and suggestions and so on) told her that the DINNER one was included - but the brunch we booked was not...and that's what the other two gals on my cruise are hearing as well. I will definitely let you know how it went!!

I haven't even looked at the numbers but keep in mind that since you have a cat. 3 you can pre-book Palos and the spa as part of the concierge service. I am not saying the package is not worth it because I am not even familiar with it. I just wanted to point out that you should not pay extra just for these features since you already have them.
During our cruise in Jan03 we were in a cat. 3 room. We received treats every day in our stateroom. One day it was choc. covered strawberries, one day it was candy, one day a fruit/cheese tray...
