We have stayed in both category 1's and I can assure you that they are both beyond description. The concierge team takes care of your every need much like the category 2 and 3 suites but it seems that you get a little extra special treatmenrt in the royal suites. While the concierge service is great, the real reason to stay in a category 1 suite is the suite itself. The beautiful decor, the extra space and the amazing verandah make a cruise in a category 1 suite a vacation to remember. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. By the way, which suite are you staying in ?
