Hey, thanks for the feedback n6!
It's funny, I read a lot of trip reports and get a lot of tips from regulars on this board. Now I see a topic where I have experience and decide to share and I'm so happy to have your support.
It seems like we are always the people circling the decks every day looking for lounge chairs and can never find them. To us, we really enjoyed the opportunity to try a Loft 19 cabana so we'd always have a dedicated place to find chairs. I doubt we would have paid full price. I doubt we would have purchased if we weren't splitting the cost with fellow cruisers in a different cabin.
I will say it was enjoyable to have a spot with prompt beverage service, dedicated seats, lunch service and the occasional snack or treat.
