    The larger/smaller room combo is meant/ideal for families. Parents in 1 room, children in the other. Once you get past the main door, you can keep the 2nd door open so can walk between the 2 rooms.

    • @supertouring1
      @supertouring1 Před 2 lety +2

      I've seen another ship (on youtube) which has a similar setup so you enclose off something like 4-6 cabins! Now THAT could be really fun on a group cruise!

      Yeah, I think we watched the same CZcams channel before! 😜 That would be very cool. I wonder if other ships have that option and if you can ask to search for them.

    I was on the sister ship, Anthem of the Seas, which is practically identical to Ovation of the Seas. I had this same room and I would like to add that if you pause at the 1:10 mark of this video, you will see a button. That is a doorbell 😂. I found that out because our steward rang it to introduce himself. This room is perfect for a small family. Not too big. Not too small. My favorite feature is the balcony. It is canted so you have a forward facing view and it is HUGE. It's a nice ship. I had a great time.

    Love the balcony! Huge! Bathroom grreat. I do not like that other "room" when you go to yours...weird.
    I wish all ships had the kuerig type coffee machines. Mmmm chai latte.
    For two NON sleep together travelers, I like the Princess ships mini suites better because there are drapes that separate the "living room" from the bed. Even has a second TV. Works better for privacy when I travel with my son or niece.

    Thinking about upgrading but not sure if it’s worth it. That bathroom is pretty nice, I have to admit! But for us, I have to wonder if it’s worth $2000 more than our regular balcony room.
    I’m thinking nah. 🤷‍♀️

  • @theresakasko5533
    @theresakasko5533 Před 2 lety

    the configuration of those rooms creates the ability to create a pretty cool 3-bedroom family suite. The jr suite, that 1 person little interior room and then another regular balcony room that connects as well. We had this on anthem of the seas for a family cruise and worked really well! The only bummer is the little single room and the regular balcony do not get any suite perks so it is kindof a mismatch and the jr suite people use a lot less of their perks since the rest of the family can't join them...

  • @jessicaschlesinger6555

    Hi, the extra room is designed for families, it’s another smaller state room so parents can have their suite and the kids will be in the other room. It would be consider a joining room at that point. I asked our cabin attendant when we were on anthem of the seas. My husband and I purchased joining rooms and there was a suite next to us. We were curios about doing that next time.

  • @pryttyfatchick
    @pryttyfatchick Před 2 lety +3

    I love staying in Junior suites for the extra room, but those darn bath tubs are so high making it hard to get in and out of. I usually pay around $3500 for a junior suite as a solo traveler. The 1st cabinet you opened was the fridge, alot of the older ships ive stayed on have keypads on them. I hope you and your mom have an amazing cruise, ill be sailing to Alaska on Quantum of the seas next year.

    Hey J, I hope your have better luck getting into Coastal Kitchen on Ovation. When I was on Allure (2800 passengers out of possible 6400) we had a Jr. Suite and were only able to get into Coastal Kitchen one time. Of course full Suite guests had priority and if there were any seats left, then on the day you wanted to dine, you had to make a reservation first thing in the morning. I tried calling, I tried going in person, and was never able to get a dinner reservation for that evening. On the next to the last day, the restaurant host took pity on us and and made a reservation for us for the next day but reminded me that it was against their rules to make a reservation a day in advance. I'm glad we finally got in. The food and service and view were wonderful. I just wish Royal had been upfront about the limited capacity, rather than leading us to believe that we could dine in there any evening. I hope it's different for you and your Mom on Ovation.

  • @xjaspx
    @xjaspx Před rokem

    1:12 I like to call these the transformer suites but reality is you are in a Jr Suite that can be converted into a 2 bedroom Jr Suite or a 3 bedroom Family Connected Jr Suite…
    If you look closely, there are actually 4 doors.. The door you open from the main hallway to access the staterooms 10230 and 10232… 10230 is actually a solo interior studio room. You overlooked the white door which I’ll get to later. So It’s basically a flexible arrangement where you can turn your Jr Suite into a larger family suite and since every families have different needs, your Jr Suite can turn into a various size Jr Suite to meet the need of the family.
    For starter, the specific Jr Suite can accommodate 4 people. What happens if you have a family of 5? You can combine 10232 and 10230 for to create a 2 Bedroom Family Jr Suite.
    So let’s talk about that white door… that door actually leads to Balcony stateroom 10228. The reason why it isn’t included on the list is 10228 also have its own door to the main hallway. If you have a family of 6 or 7… you can now create a 3 bedroom family connected Junior suite and 10228 would be essentially the master bedroom for the parents.
    The mystery I haven’t figure out is in brochures it says this combination of staterooms can accommodate 10 people. That would make sense if 10228 can fit 4 people but on the deck plays it indicates 2.. I guess maybe they can use the sofa. 10230 is designed for 1 but you could in theory fit 2 kids on 1 bed in there. Regardless, for a large family, you can have up to 3 bathrooms in your suite as a bonus.
    Here’s a diagram on what all 3 rooms combined will end up looking like:
    tinyurl.com/2m38jzvs
    Fun Fact: When Quantum Class first came out, there were several tiers of Jr Suite… the best were the Junior Spa Suites.. those would be the ones around the midship elevators. In a regular Jr Suite, you would have a walk in closet and a bathroom with a bathtub. In a Spa Jr Suite they replaced the walk in closet with a small bathroom with just the toilet and sink. In the main bathroom, theres no toilet, instead it’s a bathtub, sink, and a nice rainforest shower. These suites are J4 suites located by the midship / aft elevators.

Giving your mum the luxury of the entire bed. The balcony is huge. Wonder why so delayed in getting ppl on the ship. And you’ve been on since 11 ish if I remember correctly. A second safe? That’s different. Bath is nice. Tub. You get some of the amenities. Nice. You can compare Coastal Kitchen to your previous experience. J. Is that $5 - 8k per person? Anyway thanks so much and see you next video.

    Jay that is a cooler. It keeps the stuff pretty cool. Room looks good. Bon Voyage, enjoy the time with your momma in Alaska. The soda cups go to the soda machines on board. Did you buy the soda package or the drink package with everything in it?

    Good posting Jay! You presented plenty of good information. A Jr suite is a little big for only two people, but you were also splurging for your mom’s comfort so well done! Thanks for the tour. Cheers!!

    That’s the small junior suite configuration that can use the additional room for another bedroom. Did you try to open the door?
