Sanctuary on Coral

We will be on the Coral in April for 15 days - our first cruise - going westbound from Ft. Lauderdale through the Panama Canal to Los Angeles. We will be staying in a full suite.

For us, I'm thinking we could enjoy our full suite balcony without having to pay additional for the Sanctuary. Obviously there is no pool by our balcony, and no one there to wait on us...but that aside, for sheer relaxation, wouldn't our suite balcony do the trick? I'm wondering how folks staying in suites feel about paying extra for the Sanctuary. Also, we much prefer shade, and I don't think we'd stay in the Sanctuary for more than a portion of the day.

I would very much welcome those of you who are fans of the Coral Sanctuary to sell us on why, for you, it's a worthwhile purchase, especially if you are in a suite. Perhaps, after hearing its virtues, we'll decide to get it. Thanks.

If I had a full Suite, I wouldn't book the Sanctuary. I used to book balcony and mini-suite cabins but now I book oceanview or inside cabins so I can afford to enjoy the Sanctuary v
