Yo2slick Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Is there any difference between the A1 and A2 category rooms except for the size? We are looking at an A2 on deck 10. My understanding is this is a star class room correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 The Deck 10 A2 will be smaller than the Deck 9 A2. Get the A2 on deck 9 if you can. Also the view is closer for the show. Yo2slick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 And yes, A1 and A2 only are star class. Past Deck 10 it is not. Yo2slick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo2slick Posted March 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 We have the Villa suite booked on Liberty and after looking at this Aquatheater suite on Allure for the same money, it seems like you get WAY more for your money in the Star class suite.

Definitely! When you factor in Star Class includes the Deluxe Drink Package, VOOM, Unlimited Dining, Gratuities (except Genie gratuity is not included), the stocked minibar, and free laundry/pressing services, it's a much better deal than it first appears to be.

When I say same money thats before adding these addons to the Liberty sailing as in VOOM, UDP and UBP. Should we just wait a year and switch? I would hope by 2023 all of this will be behind us.

twangster Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 When the 1st attempt for Allure in TX was impacted Royal moved my A2 on Allure to Liberty but refused to do anything about the Star Class perks. For the size of my group that was going to add several thousand to the price of Liberty for the DX, UPD, Voom and gratuity and no Genie! I couldn't do it and we took the refund, the only other choice offered at the time. Yo2slick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are asking if you should wait a year and switch from your Liberty Villa to an Allure ATS, I would say that #1, the price on the ATS is likely to go higher (perhaps significantly higher) in a year and #2, it most likely won’t be available in a year. If the Allure A1 is truly the same price as a Liberty Villa, and if you have 5 or less people, and if you have the opportunity to move your reservation from Liberty to Allure, I would recommend that you run, don’t walk, to switch this reservation immediately.

AlmondFarmer Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Another (potentially minor benefit) is view from room. Villa is first level on back of Liberty and has obstructed view. Any 2 bed Aqua will have a much larger balcony and unobstructed views. Only reason to keep Villa is if you need all the separate bedrooms for guests.

I should have worded this better. The Allure sailing is a year further out from our Liberty sailing. It's the A2 room and it's 100pp cheaper than our current booking without any addons. 7 people, wife and I plus our 5 kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few reports of prices jumping rapidly since Tuesday night's release on SC cabins. And when I say jumping, it is quite a jump. Like in the $8K-$20k range. No joke.

If you really want to secure both, just bite the bullet and put a deposit down on that Allure sailing for 3 to lock the price down. Then if you let it go cause you end up sailing LB, you will only lose $300 in change fee. Beats coming back tomorrow to find out the the room has jumped $8000. And yes, this has already happened to some people since Tuesday. twangster and Yo2slick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However price changes over time range into the thousands of dollars for Star Class. So it's like... great I didn't lose a couple hundred in deposits but I cost myself $5k or more in higher cruise fares, did I win?

Fairlynew Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I have been really busy the last week or so with my job and finally finding a new house. We sold in December and have been renting. We have finally found the perfect house for us! Yay! I am sure ya'll aren't interested in that, but I obviously missed something. What was the Star Class announcement on Tuesday? Thanks.

Late Tuesday night the 7 might Caribbean itineraries were released into '23. Many of us who book star class got our rooms got booked, and there is lots of talk about how high the prices have gone on those rooms, as well as other categories as well.

Interesting... we were able to Lift and Shift our A2 from Allure to Symphony, but we did it before they moved us to Liberty. Things were pretty dynamic at the time with the Lift and Shift rules.
