We signed up for a VIP junior suite with a balcony. The VIP access gave us express check in and check out...that is where your VIP status ends. We had no extras given for VIP access once we were on the ship.

The food was terrible. It was fast food quality at best, even in the main "formal" dining room. We did "our time dining" for dinner which we enjoyed but the food was terrible.
