These are part of the downstairs section. I will do a couple of posts. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfsu21 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 You are going to get many responses here because people (including myself) are passionate about deck 17 and the loft suites. IMHO this is prime time the best location on the ship with both the suite lounge and the coastal kitchen in very close proximity. The CLS are mostly sky class with the expection being the star loft suite and the royal loft (there might be more).

Bettelovestocruise Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Bedroom area has a television that will come out of the ceiling if you want to watch while resting. The upstairs bathroom shower has three shower heads - one at each end and a rain shower in the middle. I wish I knew what I did with the pictures from the Harmony, there were some differences but not much. CruisingOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Just in one on Symphony and we did love being on 17, and Coastal was phenomenal! Only negative was going upstairs in the suite.

BrianB Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Love the Crown Loft Suites! The exclusivity of deck 17…just loft suites and the combination suite lounge and Coastal Kitchen seemingly right outside the door! Beautiful rooms! Some people may have difficulty with the stairs. Counting the landing there are fifteen steps. They are fairly narrow. At night you can turn off the small lights that illuminate every other step…but you can not turn off the lights at the top landing. Some people who want complete darkness may find that annoying when they sleep. There are quite a few videos online showing what the suites look like. They are big, roomy, airy and have great views. Some people like the aft views for the action and people watching aspect. But, when the door is closed…the sound is gone. I prefer the side views. Every balcony is roomy and the lounge chairs are huge and thickly padded. If you can do it…do it! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Crown loft suite are wonderful , lots of space and not just the proximity to the CK/SL but also very close to other places using the elevators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairlynew Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 I am in the minority. I prefer the 1 BR GS to the CLS. I like being more in the middle of the "action". I felt like we missed a lot of fun things when we stayed on Deck 17. Having said that, I love the CK and the suite lounge, but it was too easy to get into a rut and only go there when in a CLS. The GS is also less expensive. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given a choice (and we were not), I would choose one overlooking the ocean. However, given a choice of overlooking the sports court and not being on Deck 17, I'd choose the sports court. tonyfsu21, Neesa, Jax and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @tonyfsu21. Q; (for you & @BrianB). For a solo cruiser, did the CLS feel right, size-wise? I know there is a bed in the downstairs sofa for additional guests (but no one sees it in the sofa configuration) but it looks like you just have the one bed upstairs (in the loft area).

I don't know about feeling right...it was great! Big, airy and lots of room. Being a solo, I didn't check the sofa bed configuration. But, the sofa is perfect for lounging! The bed upstairs is enormous and extremely comfortable...not two beds put together.

I guess the CLS is actually larger (sq ft) than the 1 BR Grand Suite (and priced higher). But, that CLS just seems to be a perfect fit for a solo cruiser (as well as for couples). I didn't know Oasis was going back to NJ. I was just on her out of Miami. My 1st Oasis-class. I loved it! But, we were only at 50% passenger capacity so the ship didn't feel crowded at all.

Don't think Oasis and Allure have anything. Wonder will have an area on 17 where the suites all are. farmersfight and HBCcruiser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlohaLivin Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I’m onboard the Allure so I’m sorry I didn’t get to read through all the responses, but wanted to note that on the crown loft suites some of the upstairs bathroom have a large shower and others have instead a large tub that doubles as a shower. A great suite, near the CK (I still prefer an OS but the CL is a close second). farmersfight and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmersfight Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 It will be interesting to see how the new Wonder of the Seas will be designed & laid out with that new Suite Neighborhood. I think Royal is going for the "ship within a ship" concept (like NCL's The Haven & MSC's The Yacht Club). HBCcruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
