Yes, it was spacious enough. If you are lucky enough to have Raphael as your butler you are winners. I would say the only negative was being in a suite we got privileges to the Retreat. The Retreat was wonderful but I had to go down to the 4th floor and get an elevator that went to Floors 16 and 17.
Deck 10 · Starboard · MidshipOnly what's different from S1 is shown.
Most S1 cabins are forward: 58% of those with a recorded position. S1 cabins are on decks 9, 10 and 11; deck 9 has the most (56).
The S1 and S2 categories both represent the standard Sky Suite, the entry-level suite and the gateway to "The Retreat" experience, with the numerical differentiator related purely to the cabin's location, size, or desirability on the ship. S1 typically denotes the most desirable location (often the highly sought-after aft-corner suites on Solstice Class or the most premium midship locations), while S2 are mid-tier in location; both offer identical suite amenities, including butler service and access to Luminae. Beds: S1 Sky Suites contain a king bed that typically does not convert to twins; paired with a sofabed that allows for up to four occupants.
