Wally Wallerson

We travel in this exact same scenario with our family - 3 generations. We've done it numerous times in the Royal Loft connecting to a Crown Loft and have also done the Grand Panoramic connected to a Crown Loft. For best use of what comes with the Royal Loft (Star class), we put two kids in the Crown Loft and the adults and remaining kids in the Royal Loft. This way, all the adults get the drink package and the unlimited dining package. The only thing we have left to purchase is the UDP for the kids, which is substantially cheaper than if purchasing for an adult. My in laws sleep in the Crown Loft and me, my wife and my kids sleep in the Royal Loft. We are a closer family and don't mind this set up. The room steward and genie have been fully supportive of us just telling them who is sleeping where.
