I guess you get the Sky Class benefits but are not in the Suite Neighborhood. Convenient location for activities.

Convenient location for activities. It is pretty much a Junior Suite except it has Sky Class perks instead of Sea Class perks. Spectrum has some but on Spectrum they are located in the Golden suite area. Oasis class has long had a number of Sky Class suites that are not deck 17. This is just another example of a Sky class suite that isn't in close proximity to the Suite Lounge and Coastal Kitchen. I've stayed in a GS on deck 6 close to where the JY are on Utopia and loved the area. Close to everything down low. The only catch was riding the elevator to CK.

I would rather have a suite on deck 6. As a matter of fact we have a GS booked on the Allure deck 6 for next January. Most of the places I frequent are from deck 4-8 so being up on 17 is not convenient except for CK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 1/4 2023 was quoted somewhere a while back Also seen November 2023 With the introduction of a free adults only location, it gives RC a option to provide a Suite beach elsewhere Im sure with a free option naturally the numbers will decrease for a $150 plus option at Beach Club Purely speculation regarding unable to book beach club day passes only, my theory on this is that Beach Club will become Suite Club I’ll eat my hat if it doesn’t happen, but I know little birds and have gut designs on a Cooc Cay Suite Club 😉 It has a nice ring to it And RC can incorporate that $150 into All Suite cruise fares pretty easily and not lose any money, actually make more money as not everyone going to Cococay may want to utilize the facility The $150 is just a random price that some have paid and some have not for Beach Club day passes Some pay $260 upwards and some of us have gotten for less than $90 Purely speculation and no hard evidence or links to back up my theory Only Father Time will tell. tick tock ⏰ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have one booked on Icon and I would like to snag one on Utopia Collectively we need to keep these little gems our secret 🤐 The less people that know these are Sky Class deck 6 premium real estate More chances of us snagging them 😎 Mums the word 🤣😂🤣 Edited June 14, 2023 by PompeySailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on Allure in a GS on Deck 9 this fall and have also sailed on Harmony on decks 9 and 10. The elevator seemed a bit inconvenient to get to the Suite Lounge and Coastal Kitchen. I was in a CL on HM and loved having CK and the Suite Lounge just steps away. We did use Chops for Pinnacle Breakfast and liked the GS's proximity to Central Park. If Utopia is similar to Wonder, the Suite Sun Deck will be in the Suite Neighborhood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest reason to look at the JY is the low price point to gain Sky Class perks compared to deck 17 and 18 suites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re back to our interiors now anyway, I was just sharing how fun it was to be literally SL-adjacent, If we were to ever pay for a suite, the JY’s would be perfect. Our GS on Wonder was beautiful & who doesn’t like a TV coming out of the ceiling? (Although ours needed some WD-40, it sounded like an old garage door, lol). But we really don’t care about the cabin itself so a less expensive way to get Sky Class perks is a great concept.

That is the cabin we had, and the TV would bounce on its way down while making all that noise. Yes, the proximity to CK was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you have to walk toward the elevators and then come down the portside hall to get to the SL and CK. Will probably still book on that side -- really a first world problem 😂.

Yeah, deck 17 is just a big horseshoe with the entrance to CK/SL on the one side. Really not a big deal no matter where you are. I just enjoyed being inside the SL in about 10 steps.
