Templecruiser Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I'm looking at bumping our April 24 Hawaii cruise on Quantum from a GS to a GLS as my daughter and son in law want to come. So my question would be, which deck is best 8th or 10th and middle or side? I was looking at the SLS also, but was only $2400 cheaper. So if you add 4 adults to star perks, the GLS was a no Brainerd. It's a long way out for trip and I'm using it as something to look forward to after I fight my battle with cancer treatment which started a miserable 4 days ago. So if everything goes good, I should be good to go. FireFishII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetocruise2002 Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 We had Deck 10 on Anthem. Middle ones, don’t get the side one. @WAAAYTOOOsaid those are a lot smaller. And there have been some complaints about noise from the Deck 8 suites. Templecruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 Agree with @Lovetocruise2002…steer clear of the outside GLS on the Q class ships. The middle 2 on deck 10 would be my recommendation. Deck 8 tends to get a lot of noise from 270 during the shows. You cannot escape the show noise completely, but deck 10 is definitely better than deck 8. Templecruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a corner one booked on 10 for 2024 because it had 2 side decks which seemed interesting. Beginning to think we should look to see about switching if possible.

ScooterScott22 Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 @Templecruiser the deck 10 corner loft suites are smaller, but we found it acceptable for our party of three. We sailed 10270 in Alaska and found the combination of the three veranda's a big plus for that itinerary. Having done other loft suites on the Oasis class, I'll add that now we would feel that room is a little small for the Star Class lofts in comparison but it is still larger than a standard stateroom. The bigger drawback for our party was that there is no tub in the suite. Good luck with everything and happy planning.

Beginning to think we should look to see about switching if possible. Some people like the side deck and those additional small side balconies but IMO the amount of space you lose on the inside is not worth it. We did not use those side balconies even once but the suite itself is small and cramped (by Star Class standards). Some also like the split bathroom on the first level of the side GLS but I don’t. If you have the opportunity to move from the side GLS to one of the middle suites, I would do it….but that’s just me. I’ll never forget the disappointment I felt when we moved from one of the big middle deck 8 GLS to that tiny side GLS on the second half of our SC B2B on Anthem in 2018. Such a letdown. I recall our Genie (Yen Lee) remarking that the deck 10 GLS was “cozy”. Kathleen and ScooterScott22 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templecruiser Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 I booked room 10324 center GLS for 4 adults. I was up in the air to go star class, but the SLS was only $600 less per adult and knowing star perks, it was a no Brainer. Now I only have to wait 16 months.

Currently on Anthem and there is no bleed from 270 in the loft suites on 8 KristiZ and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
