Sabrina, I think you would like the 2BR ATS for 1 reason - the separate bedroom for the girls.  The absolute only downside to the ATS is the walk.  If they put that suite somewhere else on the boat (and of course, I realize that its being on the aft is what MAKES it so special) I would get that room every time.  I love the fact that there are no stairs and of course the big, big balcony....so nice.  I just can't do that walk anymore.  But the girls will have their own room AND their own REAL beds.

We have an AT 2BR on harmony next year. End of may going to coco kay.  Looking for our 2021 room now... thinking ovation to Alaska if the route is still good.

Right there with you... we have it booked for 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Which AT 2BR was it? We have 10330 next year on Oasis. 

Right there with all of you.  We have 2 ATS lined up at the moment.  One in 2020 and one in 2021.  @WAAAYTOOO I agree that the separation from the girls will be really nice but I really like the loft.  The walk doesn't bother me.  We all need more steps after all that eating.  I like the open and airy feeling of the loft.  But I will take any Star Class!  I'm even brave enough to squeeze 14 in the Villa!

Yeah it was the AT 2br 

Sure thing, but I'll wait till later tonight so maybe you can catch it live. least i can do for the land genie

I had a break earlier and watched your room and sail away scope.  You're a natural at scoping!  Love the cabin too.  The only thing I found strange was the set up of that downstairs washroom.  It would make more sense for the people who have to sleep down there to just put the toilet/sink/shower all in one.

Awesome!  Another @Traveler blog.  More to hold me over the next few weeks!  Following along as usual.

Always welcome to join.

That's what DW said lol. 

@TheHobbys I can't remember if you made mention of it before but what type of Star Class room did you have on Oasis?  Was it the Aqua Theater suite?  I too was completely blown away and fell in love with the loft type rooms.  They are so different from the rest.  Enjoy it!

Oh and after your scope last night I did think of something that you could scope or maybe take some pics of.  The Living Room (teen area).  Last time we did not pay much attention to it as the girls weren't old enough yet but I am really hoping my almost 13 year old will give it a shot next month.  Only if you have time...

Trying to convince my 12 (almost 13) year old to give it a try on Anthem next month. She doesn’t want to because she won’t know anyone. Trying to convince her to at least go to the meet&greet on Night 1.

Lol the last time I tried asking about it on periscope he said that you had stolen my phone

Typical, @Matt always blames the nice Canadian

I hope you do not have Dennis as your CD.  He is the WORST.

It should be Mitch Merucci right now. Another funny Canadian CD and Leafs fanWe have him for the Anthem GC.

I think that's the first time I have ever read someone say that the view in the Anthem CK was better than the view in a O class ship.  Have to strongly disagree with that one

@Lovetocruise2002 is taking names for the wait list, as soon as she achieves #lifetimestatus

Ha! I wish! I might be begging @tiny260 and his dear wife to sneak me in next cruise

And she’s still working on the T-shirts! Hey @Lovetocruise2002 now that you are officially a mod, doesn’t that give you special input powers over the merch selection???

Nope. @Matt just ignores my #teamCK merch requests

...you give it a try

Never tried that Cauliflower thing.  Now seeing it, I definitely don't plan to 

Filet up next?

@Lovetocruise2002 thanks for linking those. More to come

Your land genie has a request.  I don't get home from work until 5pm usually.  Please scope after that so I can finally catch you live 

It will be either 5 or 6 depending on the itinerary.  Usually Western route is Night 6.  Eastern 5.  It has varied from that though but definitely either 5 or 6.

We have NEVER, not one time, been approached to have photos taken on any of our cruises on any night.  weird.  Maybe we just LOOK like we're gonna say NO, so they steer clear of us?  LOL  The cruise we DID get photos on was our 25th anniversary cruise and we had to approach one of the photographers and for the other one we stood in line.

4 hours ago, tiny260 said:

We are the same way, we always have to approach them and ask, except for maybe on the pier, and the first day, we are always hit up.

Maybe we just aren't the "Pretty people".

We hardly ever get approached either.  But I think that is because I have mastered a certain "face" to steer clear from.  Teaching teenagers can give you good practice at things like that

Here is an honest consideration.  After you've had a JS, it can be hard to go back to a regular balcony.  We started with ocean view rooms and after having a balcony,  we never went back. Just something to think about. 

^^^TRUTH!

It gets way worse after you've done Sky and Star Class!

Your land genie is hard at work for you

I could have stood there for a little longer, but the kids just weren't in to it. 

This is always our problem too when travelling with our girls.  How old are yours again?

Oh, and IT'S CRUISE DAY!!!!  Enjoy!

Great first scope @TheHobbys!  Looking forward to more!

@Dblumy You should be able to request one from the suite concierge when they contact you through email or directly from the stateroom attendant.  We usually ask for one for our girls who hate sharing a bed and have had luck.  We usually ask the room attendant as soon as we can find him/her.

When are you on Symphony?  We are on the July 27th sailing.

I cruise in 4 days.  Was booked in Jr GTY SUite and bid the minimum on a GS ($300/pp) , and today (1 day later) my RoyalUp bid was accepted.  I guess it depends on Supply/Demand.

Awesome! There is hope for me then.

Thank you...we did it and switched to a JS.

Woohoo!!!!

1 hour ago, WannaCruise said:

Ugh...the dilemma.  Prices dropped.  I just re-booked our room on Monday.  We have a great price, but JS dropped today and now only $500 difference.  Worth it?

YOLO!  Upgrade it!
