Sailed Harmony in August in a GS 2 bedroom. We used the bunk bed configuration since we are a family of 6. But if you only have two passengers sailing in the second bedroom you can have the attendant stow the upper beds folded against the wall. Moreover, before sailing the bed configuration can be requested ahead of time. The beds in the 2nd bedroom can be configured into a King or two twins to accommodate as you see fit. You'll hardly notice the upper berths there if they are folded up and out of the way. It's a great room with plenty of space for entertaining in the large living room. ENJOY!!!

STOP! you guys are killing me.

DAD JOKES! HA!!!!

After being tipped off and spending too much time diving into the benefits, you are correct. As per the fine print, it looks like the SKY JS on Utopia is a true SKY class suite with all expected amenities that come with the SKY label. Of course, logically, it doesn't follow since you'd think that Sky JS on the Oasis class Utopia would match the same benefits on Wonder and below. But to make it more confusing it does not. Per @Ampurp85 they probably had it in mind to make the Sky JS on the utopia, true SKY suites, which is why we are sitting here splitting hairs. To alleviate confusion it would be superbly simple to not call anything without full SKY benefits "SKY". It's unfortunate that we have to have this conversation though. Very deceptive on Royal Caribbean's part. Most disappointed I've been with them since discriminating against passengers for personal medical decisions.

This is phenomenally deceptive. AT best IT hasn't caught up with the amenities change for the junior suite, at worst this is deliberately misleading. It would be easy for seasoned suite cruisers to see "SKY" and assume full benefits included. The room itself is not worth the upcharge above a normal junior suite and it's on deck 6 to boot (don't get me wrong I love the Boardwalk, but still). It's almost as if Royal is deliberately trying to trick its most loyal customers into dropping a deposit before they realize what the "SKY" junior suite really includes. It doesn't even include access to Suite sun deck, all day CK, VOOM (which was horrible on our Feb 2025 wonder cruise)...etc. Wow!!! Maybe a few drops on social media pointing out deceptive nature of these so called sky class amenity suites is in order. I'm extra salty because I have two on hold and if not for @Lovetocruise2002 heads-up, I might have been dropping an August 2025 wonder deposit on these rooms. Very disappointing.

Riiggghtttt. SOOO....yes. It should. Hence the question. If I wasn't sky class I'd definitely would not expect it to magically appear. But it does say it on our friends set sail (who are also sky class) but not on ours. 2 bedroom GS Sky Class but all it says is platinum-choice. So if it should say it on the set sail pass, I guess I'll have to call them since it doesn't.

Similar question. I have my C&A status as well as "choice" but it doesn't say sky class on the set sail pass. WHY? My first time RCCL cruising friends have sky class on the pass. I know it likely won't matter but I want to limit hiccups at check-in. Sky Class > Platinum when trying to access priority check in and security lines.

Harmony of the Seas August 5th!

Does CK still serve the 11-11 complimentary soda, beer, wine, water to sky class and above? Just received the letter from the concierge for a Harmony sailing on 5 Aug and it did not expressly say that. Thanks!!

With the correct allianz policy this is absolutely correct. If you take cruise line insurance you are setting money on fire. If you are taking cruise line insurance on top of another appropriately researched and applicable policy you are using napalm to set money on fire. Who are these youtubers? Are they insurance agents?

I know right, it's hard enough to not lose things like matter, like kids! See you on HOS in August! Hopefully your royal up comes through!

We've taken advantage of kids sail free in the past (to great savings) but it's really only available when they are supposed to be in school. However, as mentioned all major "school" holidays are excluded. Suffice it to say "kids sail free" is ongoing but it has more blackouts than North Korea or California during a heatwave. It's imperative that one takes into the account the fine print and if the kids are out of school just assume it doesn't apply. It's just the way it is. Trust me as a father of four, and the oldest aging out of getting pulled out of school, I wish this wasn't the case.

Prepare for many comments regarding pay for the service you want type of thing. However, the best way to go about this is to be upfront and honest with your concierge. No doubt your FIL will be doing a good bit of childcare. Make sure the concierge knows this. That he is partly your childcare specialist. They will often include him and your non-suite daughter in your CK reservations without issue. I'm not saying this is a rule and they may not allow it but they have in the past (speaking from experience). As for the priority boarding and shows. They will not turn you away with your child as long as they are ticketed passenger. Likely it'll be that your father can come with you especially since he's a crucial part of assisting with your kids. As for the shows, when you walk in show your suite passes and hold your 4th child's hand. You'll likely be fine. Please read the above in that Royal does not have to make any exceptions for your case but probably will. Just don't be disappointed if they don't.

So what's the upside for the Royal faithful? More ships in port? More cruisers to compete with for activity availability? Higher costs than the already ridiculous prices for the marquee excursions such as thrill, beach club, and cabana's? More pee in the Caribbean's largest swimming pool? I don't really see a win here. Seems they want to make sure the island is always at max capacity.

Mike, how do you communicate via text, when you are on different areas of the ship but only one of you have a device on wifi? Or is that not a concern for you?
