Vista suite aft balcony vs grand suite

[Dwright826]

Thoughts? We'll be booking for a family of 4.

What ship?  The Vista Suites we have booked (on Pride, a Spirit Class ship) has a maximum occupancy of 2.

The ship we were looking at booking was the miracle

Miracle is a Spirit Class ship.  I believe all Spirit Class Vista Suites are 2-passenger max.

But, FWIW, occupancy issues aside, Vista Suite over Grand Suite every time, in my opinion.  LOVE VS!  (We have stayed in both categories).

Aft Wrap Vista Suites on the Spirit Class ships can only accommodate two or three passengers, depending upon which deck the Aft Wrap Vista Suite is located on.  You can find that out by going to the respective ships deck plans map, select the specific stateroom and look at the information there.  It will state what the maximum passenger capacity is for that room. Decks 4, 5, 6, only accommodate two passengers per room.  There is one stateroom on deck 7 and two staterooms on Deck 8 that accommodate three passengers.  Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention....go with the Aft Wrap Vista Suite.  Hands down.....more balcony space, better views and less $$$ to book it.  We have been in the Aft Wrap Vista Suites on the Spirit and Miracle.  Were in them for our cruises to Hawaii and Panama Canal full transit.  Best views in the house and no crowding the rails for photo ops.  Will be doing the same in 2023 and 2024 on the Miracle for Alaska and Hawaii.

All Spirit Class ships and their Aft Wrap Vista Suites are configured the same-stateroom-wise.  Deck 7 has one stateroom accommodating three passengers and deck 8 has two staterooms that accommodate three passengers.  All of the other decks can only accommodate two passengers per Aft Wrap Vista Suite.

I've only booked the VSs on Deck 4.  I didn't know there were some that accommodated 3.  Thanks.  That's good to know.

We have 4237 booked for the two of us on the Miracle next August. Youtube videos show that there is a connecting door to the balcony cabin next door if you would want two cabins.
