Luggage arrived shortly afterwards.

SweetPea Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 That looks like a pretty standard layout for a GLS. Why did i think you were in 8722 with a split bath? I swear, I'm losing it! We're in 8324 next January. BTW, what would be the big deal calling them Star Lofts like Oasis? Never understood why they're GLS on Qclass and SLS on Oclass. Edit: also, any info about stair lights is def appreciated! On Anthem, they emitted too much light, we couldn't turn them off, and resorted to putting towels against them to block the lights.

Jax Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 13 hours ago, Lovetocruise2002 said: We are on Deck 8. It’s low. If I come back here in the future, I would probably try to ask for a higher room. Yeah I am pretty sure we were on the 10th. I should have mentioned that the pool was not ground level and to consider that when choosing your room. They can select your room if you check in through the app. I called them to find out what floor/room they recommended before making my selection. 9 hours ago, Lovetocruise2002 said: Omg!

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 1 Author Report Share Posted January 1 Dinner tonight was at Chops. The holiday special included a mini bottle of Moët for each adult, lobster tail (but with star we got the full lobster), and also a sample appetizer plate consisting of mushroom arancini, chicken lollipop, braised beef, and shrimp. Everything else was the same as the regular menu. Food was great, just slow. MaryS, Jax, OCSC Mike and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where something can be simple, Royal has a knack for complicating it. At least to me! Regardless, can't wait to hear about your VIP table. ️ Batman and i just finished a long work week and opted for VIP seats in our den with Chinese takeout and a bottle of Moet that's currently chilling but i may opt for a beer because Batman will have a sip and i can't kick a bottle on my own.
