lil buddy Posted October 4, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We are booked on the Gem in March and have booked an AB suite, I know it has a 2nd BR and bath but have been unable to find any pictures of this layout ( I know it wouldn't be the actual GEM ) but if anyone has a picture or description, I would really appreciate it. Wondering how much space we will be sacrificing. Thanks all Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering how much space we will be sacrificing. Thanks all Barb Haven't stayed in an AB but if you do a search, AB pictures have been posted in the past. Not sure what you mean by how much space you will be "sacrificing":confused: The second bedroom is like another cabin. Has no bearing on your cabin:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odblnt Posted October 4, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I can't give you a picture, but I can show you the floor plan. Check out this thread and the link I posted: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=637529 Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser82 Posted October 4, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hi, I've posted these pics in the past but here they are again in case you weren't able to find them. The second bedroom in the AB/A3 is like having a regular inside cabin, only a bit smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyflush Posted October 4, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Here is a great link someone posted for an AB suite on the Star: http://www.orcatekweb.com/Cabin-11550.htm Hope this helps:) Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsgj Posted October 4, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2007 This is a video of an AB penthouse on the Jewel. The first thing it shows is the second bedroom. It then goes on through the rest of the suite. http://family.webshots.com/video/3000742620100393973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpaul Posted October 4, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We just came back form a stay in an AB room which is my favorite. As a treat we took my son and his wife and let them stay in the main bedroom. Now it was quite a sacrifice since I am 6' 4" and large. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. As you can see in the pics there is a pulldown bunk over the bottom bed. As a favor my wife slept up there. The bath was the same as most baths on the ship but obviuosly not near the main bath. That is something. All in all not a bad experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccermom4 Posted October 4, 2007 #9 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We are a family with 4 kids (11, 10, 8, 6). The AB would be plenty of room for us - 3 boys in the kids bedroom, daughter on the couch (if it pulled out) and us. Darn! They only allow 5. I'd love to be able to pay the $199 3rd/4th passenger rate that going on now for the kids instead of adult fare to get a second cabin! Oh well, guess we're just not meant for the suite life. Back to the inside cabins - which is still fine because we'll be cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odblnt Posted October 4, 2007 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you look at the AB from the outside compared to the AF (mini-suites), the AB is the rough equivalent in size to two AFs (with a really great master bath). And as a plus, you get the "suite passenger" perks. See this thread for an example: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=638106 Another post said that the layout is the same as the courtyard villas.

cruiser82 Posted October 4, 2007 #11 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Another post said that the layout is the same as the courtyard villas. The layout is the same as the A3 Courtyard Villa, the A4 doesn't have the second bedroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a couple years ago so maybe they don't do it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has no bearing on your cabin:) whatI meant was, we are only in need of one bedroom and I assumed from the s/f that we would be giving up space from soewhere else to accomodate the 2nd br.

andreamarc Posted November 12, 2007 #15 Share Posted November 12, 2007 We are booked in an AB on Gem and it appears to be the same as on the Dawn, which I've stayed in. Here are some excellent pics ( a link to them) from another post of AB on Gem. http://www.depping-design.de/test/thumbnails.php?album=76 You will enjoy this website.
