We got the exact same gift package on AD.  I think it's just a "suite" thing but now it looks like it must be fleet-wide.

All loft attendants are excellent, that is why they are loft attendants, whether they service the star class rooms or not. Suite attendants for the SC rooms outside of Deck 17 or 18 on WN, are hit and miss. But also because on top of the SC suite, they have 17-18 more rooms on top of that. It's really terrible, but that is on Royal.
Go with an open mind. The ATS on SY and WN are slightly different than the older Oasis class ones. They feel a lot more airy and open because of the floor to ceiling windows. The slanted windows in the older ATS make them feel a bit more closed off. And that balcony is just amazing. I was surprised I loved the ATS so much on WN, and you know that I am 100% a loft girl.

Ugh, one of the things i am NOT looking forward to on our next cruise. I'm getting the impression that there is no special training for Star Class stateroom attendants that do not serve Deck 17. I feel like Loft attendants are excellent, but maybe not so much for other Star Class suites that aren't in the Loft area. That's what i seem to be gathering anyway. 
I let Batman pick our next room on Symphony and we're in 8734. We could have had a Star Loft, but Batman ix-nayed that in favor of the 2BRATS balcony. I already know I'm going to be so disappointed in the bathrooms. 😁 Royal was smart to make deposits N/R. I honestly think I'd cancel if left to me. Nonetheless, I'm still anxious to read more about your experience!

Private Flowrider Session
This ended up being a great gift/surprise for the guys on Christmas morning. They loved it and would definitely do it again.  I got it on sale for $445 and when split 4 ways it isn’t too bad. They start them off on their stomachs, then knees and then standing.  3 out of the 4 guys all played lots of hockey and ski’d so they were standing up quickly.  Lindsay prefers to boogie board on his knees and try to master the tricks. He did a 360 his first try.  🙌🏻🙌🏻 Videos posted over on my IG stories. 
Tomorrow morning is the star class session from 8:30-10am. 
 
 

Merry Christmas from somewhere in the Gulf 🎅🎄
We woke to a beautiful morning. Sunny and no wind. I’ll post more about our private flower session in a bit. Just sharing our morning view. 🌞

I agree. Don’t get me wrong, our SRA is a nice man, eager to please. I sense he is new to servicing star class suites.  I am routing all stateroom attendant type requests through Berty. Although I am sympathetic to their cabin load I am not willing to let it diminish our star class perks.  
If not for Berty our pressed items and laundry situation would have ended much differently.  SRA reported no pressed items at 4. After a text to Berty pressed items arrived within 15 minutes.  It’s the genie magic 🧞‍♂️🧞‍♂️

Grease was scheduled for tonight but I cancelled. I never cancel but it wasn’t until 9:30pm and we are tired. Plus the open spaces, restaurants and elevators are really hot 😨 and we couldn’t handle the possibility of 2 hours in a hot theatre. Berty had popcorn delivered and we may catch a movie. We have an early morning tomorrow with the private flow rider session at 7:45am   
I think I am glad we are not on deck 17. I know how that sounds because I love deck 17 lol but elevators getting to and from CK tonight were awful. We will definitely get in our steps and take the stairs when we can.  
Night all, Merry Christmas 🎅🎄

The guys are very happy with their beer options; Strongbow, Coors Lite, Shinerbock and Corona with limes. The only thing they don’t have onboard is Coors Banquet.  The rate at which the beers are replenished certainly has changed as Reyd gets older. 🤣🍻🍻

We came back from supper to find Santa had visited.🎅🎅  No idea if this is a ship wide gift but we usually get something on each holiday cruise.  It includes 2 beach towels, 2 hats, beach bag and zippered pouch  

Supper at CK 
It was filet night and the service and food was outstanding. One thing I really like about CK is their portion sizes. You leave feeling comfortable, not stuffed.  Everyone had the filet and we all loved it. 😋

Sailaway/Graduation Celebration 
The sun came out and it turned into one of our best sailaways.  We celebrated Reyd and Michael’s upcoming graduation.  ❤️  The in room appies were perfect and the best part, I didnt have to do any planning. Great way to start our cruise.

No, sorry I will clarify. Berty used his genie powers and had our stateroom attendant do it. I was getting some pushback from the attendant on getting more star class laundry bags and having a few items pressed for tonight. Berty took care of it without me even knowing. I came back from lunch to a clean floor.
