Parents/kids in 2 different suite types - benefits?

[ToothDoc78]

Hello!  Our family of 4 (myself, husband, and kids, ages 16 and 15) are frequent cruisers with Royal.  We are looking at booking 2 rooms for our next cruise on Harmony with adjoining (not connecting) rooms, one grand suite and one junior suite.  We'd like to put myself and hubby in GS and kids in JS.  I know JS will have priority embarkation and dinner in Coastal Kitchen, but if we book this way, would kids be denied access to suite lounge or Coastal Kitchen for breakfast/lunch?  What about other benefits like priority tender or debarkation?  Just trying to see if we can make this work.  Thanks!

The kid booked in the suite will be fine, but anyone booked in the JS will have the limitations.

Yes, anyone in the JS would not have the true suite perks

It depends, normally minor children are allowed the perks, but this was pre covid.  If you book both adults in the GS and the kids in the connection/next door you should be fine.  I would also look at the 2 bedroom gs and crown loft, you may find it cheaper since passenger 3/4 are much less.

I did a mock booking in May 2024 and it is 7904 before taxes for the crown loft.

the GS/JS combo is 5466 and 4050 so it is 2k less for the crown loft which has 2 stories and 2 bathrooms.

The 2 bedroom GS's on Harmony are just great.

 

I've always been under the impression that kids (under 18) booked in a JS or lower still get to accompany their parents that have a GS and above to the different onboard venues. Pretty sure this has always been RCI policy.
