We are currently booked on Allure of the Seas in an Aquatheater Suite in 11730. How is the room - is it as amazing as it looks?  We have never been on Oasis class and so excited!

Would also love recommendations on breakfast and lunch options besides Windjammer.

Could watch the shows, but felt outside the action being so high up. Plus I felt the audio wasn't that great.

Suite was great, want to say one down fall was no full length mirror. Other catch was the tub. Huge step down and it will be a tight fit if over 6ft tall.

Tip: Enjoy Room Service other times beside just breakfast. Another tip, make sure you are on the correct side of the ship. It is a long walk back when you realize your card doesn't work...

Trick: Don't worry about booking shows other than the Comedy one.

What is still one of my favorite photos taken.

Are you able to get Room service from anywhere besides MDR or normal Room service menu?

 

Nope, only the lucky Two bedrooms Auqa theater suites on decks 8, 9, and 10 (plus the various Star Class rooms on 17) could get stuff from else where.

CGTLH... would you do this suite again?

Sure: If the price was right.

On Oasis I did the one on 14, wasn't a fan. That sailing the suite was cheaper than a Grand.

Allure, it was still categorized as a Grand.

Never sailed in an Owner's suite.

Personally I'm more of a fan of the Crown Lofts. At the same time not everyone enjoys having to climbs stairs to access the second floor. Flip side, never hurts having two bathrooms. Also can't recall if on Oasis and Allure the lofts having a tub or not.

One advantage the Loft and Owner's has is a standard height table to eat at.

Another question..you said don't worry about booking anything besides comedy show.  Does that mean that there is reserved seating for other shows?  Does that include Aquatheater shows?

Is there a suite section in pool area?

Yes, there is a reserved seating area in the Studio B, main theater, and aqua theater. Just show your card and they will let you in. Also, sitting in that area isn't required.

No area by the pool, but their is a suite sun deck. https://www.mjcwebdesign.com/photos/index.php?/category/16

@CGTLH so you would prefer Crown Loft?  The balcony looked small and like the idea of Ocean View or Aquatheater view but would be happy with either!

Me personally, I prefer the Crown Loft. At the same time I would stay in the Aqua Theater if given the chance. As you said best, "I would be happy with either!"

Now if I was asked Two Bedroom Aqua Theater or Crown Loft (and it wasn't a crazy cost difference). I would be stupid to pick the Loft. Would even say the same thing if the Aqua had no Star Class perks.

 

For the record, the balcony in a Crown Loft isn't that small.

Like CGTLH, we stayed in 11330, but on Allure.  It was our first Aqua Theater room.  We really enjoyed it.  This was before they started Sea/Sky/Star so all suites were just suites.  I will concur.  It is a LONG walk way to the aft of the ship so don't forget anything !  Next time we stayed in 8330, which is the big 2 BR ATS.  This time on Harmony.  By then, they had started the Suites program so we were able to enjoy all of the Star Class Perks.  Well worth it for us.  Others think it's too much money.  To each his own.

We have stayed in ATS now 4 times so I think we're done with the Aqua Theater.  It was one of my dreams to stay there, though....so I've fulfilled that dream !  Next month will be the Sky Loft Suite which will be our first time to stay on 17.  Really looking forward to that one.  While I love the views from the aft, the walk is just too much for my old knees.

IMO, if you are so inclined, I think everyone should try an ATS at least once.  The views are spectacular and the balconies are second to none.  Be sure and enjoy the balcony.  That's what you're paying for !  Since deck 11 is a Sky class suite, you can get complimentary room service from the MDR which is a really nice amenity.  Take advantage of it if you can.  Room service from the specialty restaurants (which includes CK) is available only to Star Class guests and it is a very nice amenity.
