@Lovetocruise2002 Of course you can’t possibly miss the loft in either the OPS or the GPS.  You can watch the ocean and stars at night from your hot tub❤️.  Once again rationale for more SC suites to have hot tubs! All Oasis Class ships should have  OPS, and GPS—-CLS, SLS, RLS #allthethings 💁🏽‍♀️

We have actually been talking about which one we prefer. We thought we would miss the loft but this suite is so unique as well. Gathering our thoughts.

I am living through you right now as we have this suite booked in Oct. We have always stayed in lofts too. Just off Harmony, 1722, last week and have the same loft on Symphony in Feb. Decided to try something new on Allure!

Day 2

Well, did not take long to fall back into regular patterns. Hubby is asleep. Breakfast in CK alone, but I don’t mind at all. 🙂

Doesn’t look like much change to the menu. 

Random thought: Since we didn’t make it into CK last night, this is my first look around at this set up on Allure. We last sailed Allure and Oasis back before we took a dive into suite snob territory so the only CK I know is that on AN, HM, and SY. I knew ahead of time the layout is swapped around on the older OA/AL, that I don’t mind. However, not sure if it’s the lack of decor on the walls, or the suite bar against the window, or the older furnishings, but I can definitely say that the newer CK have a better vibe to them. Still, CK any day is better than no CK.

Well this was partially why this was a no brainer for me to upgrade. We have done the star lofts and the next few star sailings are booked in either star lofts or grand lofts. We love the lofts, but I saw this as an opportunity to try something different.

So interestingly all the plants on Edge are all real. They have a whole team of plant people to care for them 🙂    Now back to your review...

We went to deck 15 for a closer look and noticed they looked real. It’s beautiful. Hubby now wants to try the Edge. Told him we will see lol.

Go for it!

The Villas are two levels like the Crown Loft. Plus you're right next to The Retreat Lounge and the upper floor leads out to the Sun Deck. Negative is Luminae is a deck down.

Not the same amenities as Star on Royal. Laundry service twice, specialty dining (not sure delivered), and beverages. Plus stocked mini-bar. Key given, Butler no where near equal to Genie.

 

Disclaimer: Only sailed in a Sky Suite on Edge.

Much of the day has been spent so far wandering and soaking it all in. I told myself before this sailing that I would never take another cruise for granted. Who knows what the situation will be in March. We are supposed to sail Oasis but uncertain is the word these days. So we have done a whole lot of nothing but enjoyed every minute of it.

Also, as noted by others in the past, no liquor can be stored in the room, but they will deliver as many glasses as you would like, and then some.

Tonight is formal night so we thought dining at 150 CP would be fitting. We have our favourites there and as usual, it did not disappoint.
 

The Cucumber Martini, which is now the Garden Martini has a bit of a different flavour. I don’t know if I love it as I did before.
