Thanks for watching and commenting. We hope you and your family have a great vacation! We have never stayed in a 2 bedroom so please let us know your thoughts after your trip. Hope you all have a great week. Emma & Jack
No exactly sure on tea. But sodas and water are available in the lounge bar. May start at 11am but can’t remember exactly. We hope you enjoy your trip! Emma & Jack
Any view on after three Edge class Retreat experiences on whether Sky Class on Symphony would offset some of the crowd and water park decor shock? Traveling with a 1st grader who enjoyed Celebrity.
They have an incredible kids program on the Edge class ships. We feel that the Sky class on Royal is just not worth the cost or quality of the Retreat. Also on Celebrity there are less kids so the kiddos get a more 1:1 experience in the kids club.
This is true with the Prima class ships they have suites that are not Haven suites. We haven’t had a chance to experience the difference yet with the new ships.
Did you guys true the onboard nursery? We’ve done a few NCl Haven trips and now have a RCCL sky class suite booked. We also have a 2 year old and the drop off nursery is why we chose to try royal this time.
We have not used the RCCL nursery. Only time we used a nursery was on our cruise on the Disney Wish. Our daughter did just turn 3 though so now she gets to use the kids clubs across all the lines.
Been on Royal Caribbean once and did the Jr. Suite. Was great for family of 5 (1 infant). We got to eat once at Coastal because this suite was treated like plebeians of the suite class lol. I am looking into maybe splurging and going Spacious Aqua Suite but its about twice as much. Seen some videos on the suite its impressive, but like you addressed in the video, there are some cons too.
Thanks for watching and commenting. The Aqua suites do look amazing and especially for a family. We really want to try the Star Class level on RC but haven’t found the right option to justify the budget. That may change our personal opinion on the suite class on Royal but everything we have looked at is so much more than the suites on other cruise lines. Emma & Jack Live a Little
You mentioned that they allowed your family to get off the ship at the same time as you using your suite privilege. Were they able to be in the suite lounge with you at any point?
They were able to sit in the lounge for 5 min prior to disembarkation. We only did this 1 time as it is not supposed to be allowed and they did not partake in any drinks or snacks available. Emma & Jack Live a Little
We are not 100% sure on the answer to that specific question. Typically the are classified onboard in the beer category but not 100% sure as we did not try. Emma & Jack
Watched a few of your videos, we have twin 6 yr olds and after doing Disney Conceirge are a little spoiled and are trying to decide which concierge level to try between RC and NCL and which is the best value and best for kids...... Because my wife is now spoiled after Dis Con and I cant continue to do Dis Con cruises and not end up in the poor house. Thoughts???
Ok this is a hard question because of the 6year olds. NCL I think is better for the Suite class. But overall as a ship…Royal is better for younger kids. I think it come down to what is most important for you as a family. If it was strictly about what Suite class is better bang for your buck than no doubt NCL. I did a video that I think might be helpful for you guys because it compares the two lines suite class more. I linked it here: m.ua-cam.com/video/mr29df8L7PE/v-deo.html Emma & Jack
Star class on Harmony out of Galveston is the cheapest. Traveling star class in 1 week for less than 1/2 the price on an older oasis class ship out of FL. 4 figures not 5
Sounds to me that you are partial to Norwegian with all your negative remarks about Royal. Maybe you should just go cruise Norwegian and leave Royal Caribbean alone.
Thanks for your impute. We actually really like Royal for all their kids stuff. I think they need more consistency with what you get in a sky suite since it varies by ship. And not everything we said was negative, we had some good things to say about it too. Live a Little Emma & Jack
Very informative. The family and I are getting a 2 bedroom GS in May and can't wait.
Thanks for watching and commenting. We hope you and your family have a great vacation!
We have never stayed in a 2 bedroom so please let us know your thoughts after your trip.
Hope you all have a great week.

Thanks for explaining the drink options. Really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Emma & Jack
Very nicely done. I’d like you to do a itemized split off of the regular balcony and the add ons such as internet and drink package.
Thanks much. We will see what we can pull together and post on the channel community board.
Emma & Jack
Yes compare!
Looking forward to the Haven comparison. We are doing Haven for the first time in a couple of weeks!
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy the next vlog and more importantly your own Haven experience!

We are sailing in Sky Suite Class on Harmony in March. Do they offer bottled water, sodas, and tea throughout the day in the lounge?
No exactly sure on tea. But sodas and water are available in the lounge bar. May start at 11am but can’t remember exactly.
We hope you enjoy your trip!
Emma & Jack
Sorry Emma here. Jack replied. You can get tea anytime. Hot water from the coffee maker and the tea bags are out all day.

On NCL, you can have a suite and not be in the Haven. The Haven was $2000 extra on my last cruise.

Star class is so much nicer. It comes with a lot more benefits and food can be delivered from any restaurant except Izumi Hibachi.
It is definitely on our list to do. We just need to find the best deal and itinerary.
Could you carry out from Coastal Kitchen?? (Like go order and take it back to your room)
Don’t know the answer to that specifically but hopefully the viewers from the channel can help out.

For the "Beer and Wine" did that include seltzers?
We are not 100% sure on the answer to that specific question. Typically the are classified onboard in the beer category but not 100% sure as we did not try.
Emma & Jack
@@lindsayslivealittle Thanks for the quick follow up! Sailing on HOS in a CLS and cannot wait!
So coastal kitchen is included? It's so confusing because I swear I read it was only complimentary in the higher tier.
Costal kitchen is included for Sky Class and Star Class.
After sailing on RC suite Haven and MSC YC I prefer Haven and MSC in terms of value but having 3 young ones under 10 RC has more to offer for them
We couldn’t agree more on that one!
The Bloopers were funny!
Those were only the approved to tv bloopers!

Thanks for the reco. We will definitely have to look into that. Jack is from Texas so he would love to be able to go visit as well.
