See What Our Cruise Expert Has to Say About the Grand Loft Suite with Balcony
Grand Loft with Balcony Suite Review by Nadia Jastrjembskaia
CLIA-certified Elite Cruise Counselor, Luxury Cruise Specialist
“The Grand Loft Suite is the next largest Loft category after the Sky Loft Suite. Of all the Loft categories, this particular one varies in sizes and configurations the most, so it is important to know which Suite number you are booking. With that said, the better ones will be the first to be booked, so make your arrangements as soon as you have decided on this Suite.
Of all the Loft categories, I find this to be the best value for a couple of reasons. The first is that the couple of Grand Lofts that are corner units are right above those paying for Owners and Royal, which are far more expensive, and you are getting the same panoramic views! Secondly, the few that are centrally located on the very aft, while they may not have the extra balcony space, they provide larger square footage, almost as large as the Owner’s.”
Welcome to Grand Loft Suite with Balcony on Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International. Please be advised that all materials, including video above, here are original, made from our visit to Quantum of the Seas during its pre-inaugural sailing in November 2014.
