MamaShark Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 @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!

Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 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. Jax, heffy2, bellemiche and 3 others 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Neesa, Dogmom and WAAAYTOOO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 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.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yesterday I mentioned how the one downside to this beautiful suite is the lack of privacy.
