My Junior Suite on Navigator had a closet big enough that if I had my kids with me, one in particular would have been thrilled to sleep in it (he's a petite 11 year old that loves to sleep random places, he's weird).  So that is definitely a huge perk.  This coming NYE on Adventure we booked a junior suite so that we can better organize the clothes for our 4 kids - we plan on keep most of the clothes in our room and having the kids share the oceanview a few doors down.  
I know a huge closet isn't the perk you were looking for - but we did Xmas on Adventure in two balcony rooms and there were clothes everywhere for all the kids.  I was losing my mind trying to keep it organized.  That closet is going to be worth every penny I paid for the JS!  Plus being able to walk around the room without bumping my poor shins into a something is a big plus.

I took my boys in June on Liberty and figured my standard 30 minutes early would be fine - it was PACKED.  Thankfully someone saw us looking for seats - he was alone and had an empty seat on either side of him so he let us take those 3 seats and moved to another empty seat.  I was shocked, I've never seen the theater so full so early.  For the ice rink we all got there super early so they would know where I was sitting, then I would read a book while they ran to Johnny Rockets for a milkshake.

Yes. My TA added it last Tuesday, the day after I made the previous post, and I sailed Saturday. As long as you booked before they changed the rate, and you pre-pay before sailing, the old rate will still be honoured. 

Back on Allure in May of 2016, an element was a backstage tour. I have pictures of a Mama Mia set piece and a tree from the other show. The next set of photos was a dark looking crew lounge that was near the stage.

If I recall, last cruise we got an invite to a "meet the entertainment staff" function, but I don't remember if it was a tour or just a meet and greet.

They used to do an entertainment tour.  The All Access Tour does cover the theater (or at least, it used to).  I would ask the Suites Concierge, during your email exchange, prior to boarding, if an entertainment tour will be possible.

Just my advice nothing more... if everything goes smoothly there should be no issue.  If you have issues or you want to know something or you want something changed you most likely will have issues.  I book directly with the cruise line then move mine to Costo Travel because they give me a rebate Costco card and their agents are paid by the hour to take care of me.  I am able to do this because I know exactly what I want and like doing lots of research.  If I was not sure I would be going with a well know travel agent that know everything and will walk me though my purchase.  A cruise is a few thousand dollars and I do not think it is worth saving a couple hundred dollars and risk having issues and a headache.
Just my opinion

We love 270, always go straight there when we embark.  Thanksgiving 2022 on embarkation day they had raffles going on.  My dad won a (cheap) watch, and I won credit to gamble in the casino (I forget how much it was.  $25 or $50 maybe?).

I’m on Adventure. Last night the singers, dancers, and ice skaters put on a Christmas show on Studio B. This morning all the kids were invited to Studio B to visit Santa.  We got there and they had a list of all kids on the ship - each child got a gift. All 5 of mine are 10-17 years old, and got a nice big Royal Caribbean Beach towel. 
Everyone has been so kind, other guests  are handing out goodie bags to the kids and are making it so special.

Maybe we will bump into each other before this is over !!

I will be blazing down that slide with a Kraken Colada in my hand! 

Awesome !  Let us know how it goes.  Very interested to get some feedback.

Thanks @WAAAYTOOO, I hadn't gotten that email and I need to book a ticket for my April cruise.  

We are DVC and do Disney often.  I'd Uber to Disney, then Uber to the port.  We are the family that prefers not to have a car in Disney, we don't mind their transportation.  And when I'm just done at the end of the night, or need to get to dining at a different resort and don't want to wait for their transportation, an Uber or Lyft is cheap enough that I just pay it.
Next week we are flying into MCO and ended up booking a ride service for $440 round trip.  I gave in and did that because there are 7 of us on the way there and 9 on the way back, so I didn't want to waste time worrying about fitting all the luggage for a ten day vacation and getting multiple Ubers.

Thanksgiving week 2022 on Anthem I was stuck in the room with 2 sea sick kids while my husband, parents, and the other 2 kids went to eat.  I gave my husband a list of what I wanted to eat and asked him to just bring it when he came back.  Imagine my surprise when our assistant waiter Miluten showed up at my door with all of my food, and some things for the kids to nibble on (because "it is too much for MrSleepy to have to balance!") (I saw him June 2024 on Liberty and he remembered me - "Sleepy425 with all the kids!!!"  And I know he wasn't making that up, because I didn't have all the kids with me that cruise.  That guy is fantastic!)
Definitely not a normal occurrence, but so appreciated. If you went to your table and just ordered a couple things and asked to take them to go I don't imagine they would give you an issue.  But too many of those plates with covers would be a challenge for you to carry.

The owner of Jesse's assured me that it's NOT Rudolph. 😉

What a sweet story !  That kind of love (from the crew) isn’t customer service - it is genuine love of his job and love for others.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️
