constable145 Posted August 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Well, I booked this cruise 556 days ago. During that time, I've changed my cabin 3 times.... And had 10 other people join us on the voyage. This week we'll be treating ourselves to a sky loft suite. We've never experienced Star Class before.. To say that I'm looking forward to it is an understatement. Also travelling with my wife and daughter is a collection of in-laws, and various other family members.. They have rooms ranging from a crown loft and owners suite down to a central park balcony.. I'll try to give you some thoughts on each room. If you have any questions let me know. I'll do my best to find out the answer to the question you may have. Cheers! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbob7 Posted August 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Excellent! Have a great cruise! First question: what are hours of coastal kitchen, in general through week but particularly lunch on embarkation day? Thanks!

Sorcerer Tim Posted August 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Sounds like a great time! We are in a Sky Loft next week. Are you in 1724 or 1722? Would appreciate any comments on your genie and embarkation at Fort Lauderdale. I have read some mixed reviews on it and any tips would sure help. Enjoy!

Sorcerer Tim Posted August 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Nice! We are in the same suite. How was embarkation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constable145 Posted August 26, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Nice! We are in the same suite. How was embarkation?Seamless. The suites weren't open when we arrived as I read they had been in the past. That said we didn't wait one second. Our genie got us to the front of every line.

Brought it to the suites area. Gave it to a porter. Put some crumpled up green paper in his hand... Then forgot about it until we arrived in the Canadian Sky loft suite (shoulda brought a flag..)

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk We did in March but the balcony glass and is too close to the hand rail for the car window flag to fit. It won't work the same as on Allure and Oasis unfortunately. Glad to hear that the luggage made it. Out of curiosity who do you have for your Genie and stewards? If you have SeePaul as you main steward you have a great one. Enjoy the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted August 26, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Have a fantastic cruise! We cruise on Royal for the first time on the Symphony April 2019, and are booked in a Boardwalk view balcony. I am curious about these inward facing balconies, can you let me know what you think of them as far as noise/privacy is concerned?

constable145 Posted August 27, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I wore shorts in the MDR tonight. It was quite liberating. I will wear a suit tomorrow but see no reason why shorts can't be worn on casual nights. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Brian, a little loud, jovial and from the Caribbean? I believe Trinidad and Tobago. If it's the same Brian we have sailed with him on Allure and Harmony more than half a dozen times. If you have a chance ask him if he happens to know an Andrew, Lisa and Owen from Canada. Enjoy the night. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet angel Posted August 27, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We will have a crown loft suite in September, so no genie for us. I'm curious as to the beverages available in the lounge. Can you take them out? Can you get bottles of water and the like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you take them out? Can you get bottles of water and the like? Not sure about bottled water, but they do offer soda and selected wines and beers from 11am to 11pm. They did not care if we took the beverages out of the lounge on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constable145 Posted August 27, 2017 Author #24 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Some thoughts so far. Day 1. We dined as a group of 13 in the MDR. The dining room service was perhaps the best we've had. They took great care of my little one and when she had to leave due to not napping,our server insisted that I run food up to my wife. The ribs were much be better than I expected. I'd like to have a chat with the jerk who decided to put raisins in the apple pie. Day 2. The kid slept well.. So that's a good start. Room service delivered to the balcony.. Pancakes by the ocean make for a happy kid. Dropped her off at Adventure Ocean. She apparently had a blast. Breakfast was the decent. I was on deck 17..I needed to get down to deck 6 for the top tier party in a hurry.. So I took Ultimate Abyss. It was better than I expected. Top tier party was the usual nonsense. I went to Izumi for lunch. It was awesome. More to come. Stay tuned. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
