Has anyone stayed in the Sky Suites on Galaxy? If so, can you recommend specific rooms, and why?

It appears that they are both on the Sky deck and Penthouse deck - with the exception being that the balcony are much larger on the Sky deck. Are there any drawbacks to staying on Sky deck?

Since I've been hunting for months for our next cruise, I'm seriously considering the 12 night (partial Panama) Galaxy in April 05, roundtrip Galveston.

Any comments ?

Have a great day and wonderful weekend. Appears that we will have a nice weekend for a change up here in the New England states.

I had SS1221 on the Mercury (sister ship to Galaxy).

Hands down - the Sky Deck rules. Forget the Penthouse Deck. Sky Deck is cozier, quieter and more classier - not much traffic in the hallways, what with only 40 or so staterooms - compared to something like 175 on the Penthouse Deck - and the size of those verandahs!! Suites on Penthouse Deck have much smaller balconies.

As for specific sky suites, choose one that has a small cut-away, rather than the complete squared-off verandah. IMHO you get a much better-degree front- or aft- view (depending on where the cut-away is) than in a boxed-in balcony, where you would be limited to the straight-ahead view. Check out the deck plans and you'll see what I mean.

Enjoy - and get ready to be spoiled in a sky suite.
