frank808 Posted September 23, 2019 #26 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Watch out OP. We tried one a few years ago and was wowed instantly. Since then whenever we cruise Oasis class it has been cls only. This can start to hurt your wallet pretty easily 😃 Wallet thanks me that we are not sailing Oasis class this year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted September 23, 2019 #27 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I can see the chronological gifted people not liking stairs. It’s still a beautiful room and would have great views if you’re on the sides of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ReneeFLL Posted September 23, 2019 #28 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Those stairs also help with the extra calories. 😁 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would choose an owners suite over a Loft. Dw struggles with stairs and the balcony on an owners suite is so nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Frank, Totally agree with your comments. Sailed in our 1st Crown Loft in 2012. Has been our cabin of choice since then. This year have sailed or will sail in Crown Lofts 8 times. Have 3 booked for 2020. Hope to sail with Cindy, Hunter and you again in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved it so much we booked the same cabin on the Oasis next summer. Great service and what a fantastic cabin! Which cabin was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was over the Boardwalk so could watch the divers practice in the Aqua Theater. We thought we would absolutely HATE the aft facing lofts. In fact, I almost didn't bid on a CL suite just because I was afraid we would get one. And low and behold, our bid was accepted and it was for one of the back lofts. But we found out that we actually enjoy people watching and the views behind the boat in the ports were spectacular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked 1754. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the noise when on the balcony was no different than if we were sitting on one of the decks. We were concerned before we boarded but found it was a non-issue.

We prefer rear facing cls for the people watching also. I can just stay home and watch the ocean from my lanai if that is what i want to do. But i know a lot of cruisers that only like the side facing cls. That is the beauty of cruising, something for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira You cannot imagine the wonderful experience it is to have the crown loft suite! The view to die for- the steps aren't steep and well worth the walk to view the two story sea view, storage other amenities-we were also very close to the suite lounge and restaurant- we like to have the ocean side view vs the ship aft view crown loft suite. The two bathrooms are worth walking up a flight of stairs for- do not understand why the owners suite sometimes costs more. Obviously, if you are handicapped and cannot walk up stairs the crown loft suite will not work. But if you aren't you will have a wonderful experience! We have had owners and grandsuites on many Royal ships- but absolutely nothing compares to the Crown loft- IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted September 24, 2019 #39 Share Posted September 24, 2019 There is one HA CL that has an elevator. We've found that once the GS category sells out, the CL price tends to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do recall one has a chair elevator- Scheduled to sail on the Harmony again in January, but due to a very expensive 2020 coming up- didn't book one- Will try to bid if the price isn't crazy for a CLS. But it is so much better the one oversized cabin. When we were in a grand suite- on the allure, I kept on walking into the oversized coffee table in the living room -ish area. If I ever get one again, will ask the butler to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. However you are next to the Suite lounge and have all day access to bottled water, soda and I believe wine by the glass. At cocktail hour (I believe 5-8) you get free alcoholic beverages.

I'll admit it was a little interesting for the first couple of days but generally we're not people watchers and prefer the sound of the waves to the deck music.

SeaHunt Posted September 26, 2019 #48 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Here's a few aft facing CL views on Oasis from 2017 We really enjoyed it (didn't notice too much noise) but lately seem to be only booking GS for some reason - I really need to revisit my bucket list and make some changes LOL. From balcony center aft view, to the right is Mini Golf, to the left is Sports Court Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank808 Posted September 26, 2019 #49 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Pics looks like it is from 1730. One of our rear facing favorites. Best part is watching the aqua show from the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
