Lovetocruise2002 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 Just noticed the price for a CLS (L1) has dropped considerably on my Harmony sailing this August. Thinking about upgrading especially with the OBC offer right now. Anyone out there have any experience in these suites? Is it worth it? It's just my husband and I. I know that VOOM is included but would I still need a drink pkg with the CLS? Any input would be much appreciated. Quote

Jerel Posted April 23, 2017 Report Posted April 23, 2017 A CLS would be amazing! Whether or not its worth it is hard to say, after all it is a treat. If the price dropped and you think you can afford it I'd say go for it, splurge, it's got to be a experience to remember. My only worry is that I'd spend all of my time in the room and not exploring the ship. KLA and DocLC 2 Quote
KLA Posted April 24, 2017 Report Posted April 24, 2017 CLS is my dream cruise room, and I envy you. Absolutely go for it if it is within your budget to do so and enjoy your cruise! DocLC, Orchids and RestingBird 3 Quote

When I can afford it, I'll spend the extra for one with an ocean view (port or starboard) vs looking forward or aft. My TA's personal opinion is experiences are better than things. KLA 1 Quote

We instead disappoint him with a much cheaper cabin, but he gets to go twice as often, do it's a good compromise. KLA, Orchids, PRC and 1 other 4 Quote

A lot of people have put things off till next time. And next time never comes. DocLC 1 Quote

But you choose to give him twice the memories. I would make the same choice. DocLC 1 Quote
Bob_KY Posted April 27, 2017 Report Posted April 27, 2017 Agree with all. We decided to take the leap on Oasis in January. Previously our best accommodation was a Jr Suite. Quote
Bob_KY Posted April 27, 2017 Report Posted April 27, 2017 One more thing. When we decided to jump to a CLS, we did not do any research on suite location. No regrets, so this is not a negative comment. My suite balcony has wonderful views of central Park, putt putt... advice - What do you want to see from your balcony? Quote

I will have to post after the cruise. We loved the jr suite and felt the CLS would be over the top for our anniversary. Quote
Laurac22 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Just stayed in a CLS #1742 on Allure a couple weeks ago. It was fantastic!!! Loved everything about the suite, and the service and extras that we received being a suite guest were amazing. If you can swing it, go for it!! WARNING.... you will likely be ruined for regular cabins again!! Oh and you may not leave the 17th deck very often!? Bob_KY, RestingBird and CGTLH 3 Quote

We are in CLS #1728 on Oasis in January. Suite category CL1 versus CL2 definitely have different views. BTW. Royal is changing stateroom "categories" codes. I wanted to be smarter on the "codes" and their definitions. I went to Crown & Anchor web site, found it, by ship and effective date. Armed with this and a deck map - i am ready for "next cruise." Some posts do not rate the Coastal Kitchen very high. What was your experience? Quote
HighlandBoy Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Can't wait to find out just how good these CLS are. Just snagged a L1 (1704) for only a few hundred £ more than the GS we originally had booked for Oasis in Oct Quote
