I booked an aqua theater suite on the Oasis I have to agree with jascar's post as we had the same experience with some variations of course. There is one difference though, we didn't have kids so our issues were not with not using the dining room. I will have to back him up in that compared to other lines you do not get the same value when booking a suite. I always book suites and am a loyal royal cruiser, I knew what to expect and in the aqua theater suite they fall short. I think it is because they are all by themselves at the back of the ship, they are forgotten suites. It's best to only booked these if you have no expectations of service. The placement is the best, love the balcony, the service sucks. We addressed the many issues onboard and Royal came through for us, we will be giving them another chance this coming January to "make things right" if we see the same again we will be spending our future vacations on another cruise line.

I have to jump in here and say I think girls are far worse than boys to raise!! My GF had 2 boys and I had 2 girls, in the morning there was a very distinct difference in the noise volume in our homes, mine being the loud house with the girls going at it over everything ! Her boys got up, dressed, fed and out the door with nary a peep. Our oldest girl also provided us with a new dd to raise so we got to start over just when we had begun the count down to being kid free. I have to say this one is even more challenging than the other 2 and she is only 9. She thinks she was born 30.
