Magic City Cruiser Posted February 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2013 We are sailing on our 8th annual "Girl's Cruise" this October. We had our first AFT balcony on the Triumph in 2011, last year we had 3 in a Grand Suite on Elation. We are sailing Elation again this year. However, we ended up paying around $570 each ( after deducting a $280 OBC we got ). So far, that Suite is now around $750 for 3 and that's just more than I want to spend. Can anyone tell me about the Junior Suites? Is the balcony the same size? From a short search, it seems like you don't have the walk in closet or the bar and the room is smaller but I think I can live with that if the balcony is the same size! Also, we thought that the sleeper couch was a bit uncomfortable. Will they bring a roll away instead? I know people put 4 people in much smaller rooms and don't bat an eye but I just can't get my head around 3 or 4 women sharing a bathroom when I think about all the STUFF we all bring!

GPop&Nana Posted March 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I believe that the Jr. Suites on the 'older' ships have very very small balconies. I remember something about two chairs being tight. And the cabin is the same size as a regular OV cabin, so considerably smaller than the GS. Hope that helps - if you could find a picture of one on the Fantasy, fascination, ecstasy, paradise, sensation...it would give you an idea. These are V16 on the Ecstasy.

Naomi John Posted March 4, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Here is my review of the Elation when we had a Junior suite. It was 3 people, 2 adults one child. The balcony is MUCH smaller then the Grand Suite, (had one of those in 2009 on the Fantasy, a sister ship). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Doc Posted March 4, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2013 On the fantasy class ships, the rooms are comparative to regular balcony rooms (size-wise) on other ships, aside from some of the amenities (ie. woodwork, etc.). The balcony is *very* small, however. If you turn the chair outwards, your knees are pressed against the railing (much different from the depth you had on your aft balcony!). As well, the deck below extends beyond your deck, so you look straight down on the deck and others look straight up at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic City Cruiser Posted March 4, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks, all. Mercy, it looks like I'll be needing that GS!!!! The GS was quite comfortable for 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
