I missed that the new Aqua show is 80s theme. Makes it more exciting (another Back to the Future fan ). Curious....what do you like about on deck 17?Ā We've been on 7 and 10 before on Oasis class and found them both great in location beings near Central Park, Board Walk and even pool deck for latter.

Hmm...where should I start? - It's known as the "Gated Community" lol, the halls are very wide and quiet and the only traffic there are those staying on Deck 17. - The proximity to CK and the Suite Lounge is a huge plus for us.Ā We make good use of that.Ā The ATS is going to be a bit of a trek. - There is nothing like the Lofts.Ā The wide expanse of the cabin due to the high ceilings, the views, total "Wow" factor in these cabins.Ā This is probably the most important to us. - The loft attendants are in a league of their own.Ā I would never have known this to be true until we experienced it ourselves.Ā And this is not saying that other cabin attendants are not good, but the service and they way the loft attendants conduct themselves it just different.

WannaCruise 850 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Thanks for explaining.Ā Never experienced suite perks so wasn't sure the difference.Ā I just looked at the deck plan and see what you mean...how rooms on deck 17 are more isolated...so great for minimal traffic.Ā And can imagine the views of the 2 level lofts.Ā Ā Will be interested in your thoughts after you try the ATS.Ā They do look amazing and really spacious!Ā So hopefully you'll find it not as inconvenientĀ as you are thinking and a great alternative room.

SweetPea 463 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Sabrina, i have a muy imporrante question (to me): Ā I'm am very interested in the hair dryer in your suite. On Anthem, it was cheap and you had to hold a button down while drying your hair for hot air to come out. I was kicking myself for not packing my own. If you could do a full post and review on the hair dryer sitch, I'm sure there may be one other person on the planet besides me that would appreciate that!

Lovetocruise2002 10,041 Posted February 13 Author Report Share Posted February 13 Some updates from this past week:Ā Izzy has confirmed that the Thermal Spa is indeed complimentary for Star Class guest.Ā Each adult receives a one day pass.Ā Too bad for the kids.Ā We asked Izzy if we needed to pick a day and make reservations ahead of time.Ā He told us no, we could just show up whenever and he would let the spa receptionist know and they will handle the charges. The other thing that I found interesting, which I did not know before this, is that they reserve specific blocks of time in the Escape Room for SC guests.Ā He originally had us in for Day 7 and we wanted another time and date.Ā He told us that if we went to a time slot that wasn't blocked for SC, we would have to pay the normal fee.Ā Again, there may or may not be inconsistencies with this between ships in the fleet.Ā In the end, we moved to another SC time block. We are just about a month away and everything is pretty much good to go.Ā All schedules and reservations are taken care of already.Ā Izzy has already given us information on what to do when we arrive at Terminal A.Ā I am really pleased with how smooth this has been.Ā I also think that it has to do with the fact that I know more of what to expect this time.Ā I asked Izzy if he could make time go faster?Ā That is pretty much the only "No" that I have received so far.Ā JLMoran, WAAAYTOOO, Jaymac Radio and 11 others 4 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
