Tell me about neighborhood balconies...
SilkySal replied to AMommyof2's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We enjoyed the Boardwalk balcony cabins and had no problems with noise, so it's probably personal preference. When on the Icon next year, I upgraded from an inside to an infinite central park balcony and can't wait to experience that beautiful cabin! Would love to hear from anyone who has stayed in one of those! -
Just checked my future cruises through the app. The first one to CocoCay isn't until January 4, 2025 and the rest are months afterwards and none of them are showing Hideaway, so I guess these cruises are still too far out to display Hideaway. Will recheck from time to time. Thanks again for the suggestion.

A little off topic but is Hideaway Beach bookings only available on certain ships? Some of our future bookings include CocoCay but have no mention of Hideaway Beach. Maybe they haven't been posted yet?

Crown Loft Suite Questions Oasis
SilkySal replied to OceanCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for the explanation. We will have CLS #1742, which is the first one on the side of the Aft facing balconies. We do like to people watch but usually do that on the pool deck or the Promenade and/or CP. Very much looking forward to most meals in CK, drinks in the SL, and enjoying quiet time for reading and/or napping! Yay! -

I take it that means that we don't need to use our drink vouchers for mixed drinks during the 3-hr HH, am I correct? -
Crown Loft Suite Questions Oasis
SilkySal replied to OceanCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for all of the info on the CLS! Now, I'm even more excited to experience the suite life, even if it is over a year away that we'll be in a CLS on Oasis!! Woot!! Woot!! -
Royal-Upped to a GS and We are Forever Doomed….
SilkySal replied to teddie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thanks for your suggestion but United First Class did have the lay flat seats in a private cubicle - still no sleep for me. We have Delta Comfort Plus seats (for the extra leg room) for our upcoming flight to Vancouver, so I plan to carry on my neck pillow just in case! -
Royal-Upped to a GS and We are Forever Doomed….
SilkySal replied to teddie's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I experienced a near death (DH says I actually died and was revived) experience just this last January. So, for my February 2026 birthday on Oasis, we decided to upgrade our balcony cabin to the Crown Loft Suite, which will be our first experience in a full suite and I'm hoping it'll be amazing! We plan to enjoy CK for most of our meals and, since we are both D+ with 5 drink vouchers each, we can enjoy additional drinks in the CL or SL, so no packages needed. On another note, I had never flown first class until last September, when we flew to Vancouver, cruised Hawaii, and flew back to Indiana from Honolulu. This had been on my bucket list for awhile but, I must say, I was not impressed. I have never been able to sleep on a plane and, for me, this was no different. Watched a movie until I felt sleepy, turned it off, tried to get some sleep but the sheep never arrived. No sleep, nada! My DH, DB and his wife were all sleeping like well-fed babies! Never again will I splurge for first class but I will definitely upgrade to comfort plus or business class for the extra leg room! DH says I can't sleep on a plane cause I'm too nosy! He's probably right but I would never admit it to him! LOL! Thanks for sharing your suite experience with all of us suite virgins!! Cheers!! Sal P.S. Great title for this thread to "hook" people into reading!! It hooked me! -
The original poster stated they would be on "Oasis".

What essentials and fun items do you bring?
SilkySal replied to Love2cruise-71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Your cabin should have boxes of tissues. At least, ours did just a few weeks ago. At least, that's one other thing they still provide. LOL! -
What essentials and fun items do you bring?
SilkySal replied to Love2cruise-71's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We also bring a big bag of the "good" chocolate mini bars, such as Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Hershey's, etc., to hand out to various crew members; don't forget the GS (Guest Services) folks, who have a very stressful job listening mostly to complaints all day. If no treats, just stroll by them and wish them a nice day! Yep, duct or duck tape saved my trip home from a cruise a few years ago. My garment bag zipper broke, so I had to use the tape to secure my clothes inside while leaving the ship. Wish I would have snapped a picture of it because it looked like a giant medicine ball!!! I was so afraid that customs was going to ask me to open it!! I used the whole roll of tape and had none left!! Luckily, all was well and I rolled my garment bag to our car in one big piece. LOL! Funny now; not so funny then! Remember, things happen! -
Just texted my dear friend, Cruising Grandma (Pinn), about the letter. She said that she received the letter by email today. So, it looks like all Pinns will be receiving the email.
