Ok - I have to put by .02 in
I was a more cruise guy. OMG anytime I could take a cruise inside room, guarantee, what ever I was there.
Then I did something stupid. I tried my luck at the royal up and won. Didn't care about the room, I won the GENIE !!!
The genie made my last cruise the most relaxing, stress free, worry for nothing, laid back, enjoyable, most fun cruise I have ever had !!!! - We did not want for anything !!! My wife has anxiety, that is controlled, but sometimes it kicks in even on vacation, and well having the Genie, NOT ONCE did she have even the slightest bit of it.
No waiting in lines for ANYTHING, she didn't feel like going to the buffet with all the people, Sent out Genie a message and we had Steaks, hamburgers, ice cream bar and more brought to us and we ate at the dining table on the balcony.
I suggest trying it once - see if you love it or if its not worth the extra money then go back to multiple cruises.
We however are sold and instead of 3 cruise a year - we are doing 1 now, but each time it's with a genie.
Sky Loft 2023 and Royal Loft 2024 ( and I think we are going to squeeze one more in there somewhere.)
