Royal Caribbean is launching a butler service for the first time to guests staying in its high-end suites.

Called a Royal Genie, the 24/7 butler is certified by the British Butler Institute and offers dedicated services such as making restaurant reservations, shoe shining and cocktails.

It forms the new Royal Suite Class, which is dubbed ‘luxury that is anything but boring,’ and features elite perks such high bandwidth Internet capable of streaming movies, specialty dining, premium beverage packages, preferred VIP seating at ship venues, and access to the thermal suite at the spa.

The Royal Genie service will be rolled out for Star Class suites from May 2016 on Anthem of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, and Oasis of the Seas, and new ships Harmony of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas.

Royal Suite Class will offer three service levels based on the category of suite booked, known as Sea Class, Sky Class and Star Class.

"The new Royal Suite Class redefines luxury at sea with exceptional experiences that discriminating travelers will appreciate," said Michael Bayley, Royal Caribbean president and CEO.
