Correct. You want 3/4 A or 3/4K.

Is there any reason for a couple to prefer 3/4A versus 3/4K?

That travel blogger says K, but if you look at Sam Chui's video they are configured the same as A and also have 3 windows.

Does anyone know if the shower is reserved like on EK, or simply first come, first served?

So, no reason to prefer 3 & 4 A vs 3 & 4 K, then (aside from perhaps if one person likes to sleep on his or her right vs left and wants a forward vs rear facing seat).

It can be reserved in, I believe, 30 minute increments.

It's a very small shower, unlike EK.

I believed the max occupancy on EK was to allow the two shower attendants inside at the same time. A blogger mentioned it was also for carers. I wonder if the EY FAs clean the shower and restock towels between each use. Someone must.

I don't know who did the cleaning, but the shower looked completely unused. I assume that's why they give times in 30min intervals.

From the you tube video it looks like the wall/barrier between the connecting apartments is lower than between non connected. Is this right, and would it make any practical difference if not travelling with the passenger in the connecting apartment?
