cluv123 Posted July 22, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Traveling with DH and 2 daughters (10 and 14). Would you go for the Grand Suite on the Freedom or 2 balcony rooms on the Oasis? We are looking at Western sailing in January. Rates are similar for both options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masonpips Posted July 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Most people will probably tell you 2 balconies because of the 2 bathrooms and real beds for everyone. But, I LOVE the Grand Suite, it was fabulous for us (on Liberty) and our kids were 9/10 then. Can yours deal w/a sofa bed? That's another consideration. Personally I like the Concierge lounge, the snacks before dinner, the continental breakfast and cappuccino at the ready, plus the drinks, etc. And my dh and I usually shower in the gym area (awesome showers) which helps considerably w/4 people getting ready. And you get more cruise credits if you're trying to climb levels. We are cruising Oasis this year so ship-wise I can't compare but I will say my kids are more than happy on anything Voyager class and above (give them a rock wall, mini-golf, sports court and they are good), with pizza in the Promenade, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted July 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I'd rather be in 2 separate rooms than together in a GS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jatdowning Posted July 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I agree with the PP. I did 2 balconies on the Allure with our girls and it was great. It was like a "2 room suite"...we could shut our door for privacy anytime we wanted. The balcony was opened between the two rooms, it was great. You'll love the Oasis but I haven't been on the Freedom so I can't tell you about the difference in ships. Is the Grand suite more $$$??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
