We did not book until late and the only suite available was a Samsara Grand suite on the costa favolosa sailing from Dubai over the New year. Although expensive, we wanted a nice cabin and as we have had suites on the Celebrity ships(Century,Summit and Eclipse) we naively thought the service would be similar.
1, Check In
After flying overnight from the UK, we arrived in Dubai at about 8.30am and made our way to the cruise terminal. A lady told us that they would look after our luggage but we will not be able to check in until 3pm and definitely cannot have access to our suite until 8pm!!.
