What do you mean by well in advance? Also did it look like this on the second day? I’m thinking of making a bid on move up. I love the villa,but the iconic would be amazing but dirty windows would definitely upset us
@nehoccohen1 If you upgrade and are able to get this suite , I would tell your butler immediately that you want the windows cleaned every opportunity. It is the only suite where they can't wash the windows whenever they want, because of the way it's designed. They can only wash the windows when they are in port and docked...depending on which suite you get, port or starboard side. They were only washed once during our eleven day cruise. We shouldn't have ever had to ask , but on this day, we asked our butler to have them washed while we were on tour. He forgot and we literally had very fogging visibility the last days or our cruise. This included all the windows in the cabin and the deck , so we couldn't even go outside to see . While we feel very fortunate to have enjoyed this suite, it was definitely overrated and we were very angry that they didn't have a planned schedule to keep things clean. You also cannot use the hot tub whenever you want. You have to ask your butler a couple hours before you want to use it to fill it and clean it. Then you can only use it for 2 hours before they have to come and test it again. I'm sure this is for health and safety reasons. But it's not as much freedom and enjoyment as you think. The one other big negative to the suite is the master bedroom TV comes down from the ceiling and obstructs a good portion of the room space. It is extremely easy to hit your head if the t v is down, and you are trying to walk to the front of your bedroom and use the desk. On top of it, all their compensation for us not having an iconic view from the iconic suite for the last few days of the cruise was underwhelming. We wish you a wonderful time and fabulous accommodations but just be aware of these things. The space and service might outweigh the issues and might not.
@ thanks so much for this information! I’ve stayed in the villa and had none of those issues including the hot tub. I will not be putting in a move up bid. I highly recommend the villa for your next trip 👏🏼
