Do you know what rooms those were? I don't remember seeing any balcony rooms in that area at all.

They were printed on the deck plans as balcony, they were the most aft two rooms on each side. She bought and paid for balcony. When they called explaining the issue, they refunded her the difference in price. She basically booked a room that was planned and then never was built. She is in the same room it’s just a larger pano.

I have booked the family ocean view on Adventure’s new deck 12 rooms. My

Mom booked the balcony which were the most aft part of the new addition. We got a call

From RCCL

Stating that a mixup had been made in refit and the balcony she bought was not put in. They were all pano ocean view. Those rooms that had balcony’s are larger because the area was all enclosed. I’m still waiting to see pics of the family suites with the bunk bed room and extra bath. Sailing soon tho, June 22.

I'll be in the Family Panoramic Ocean View, (new after drydock) in June. I'll post room pics as there seems to be none. My cousin and husband are on this ship this week, but not in these rooms.

I am an experienced cruiser who is going on first cruise with two two kids, hubby and two other families with kids. I was considering buying small walkie talkies for the kids and I to communicate on the ship and the private island. Has anyone done this? worth it? what tips or alternatives do you have? thanks in advance!

I am booked on this same category VP in June on the Adventure. It is new room after drydock this January. I am curious about the suite level. when I booked I was told robes in room, gold card and double points. Online there was some confusion, and frankly I am not certain as the agents I spoke to did not seem super sure, and were always checking with higher-ups when I asked. Since I booked under those terms, I really hope they stick. Best of luck on your cruise!

I am hoping to get help with local excursions ( I would rather pay a smaller local guide) and adventurous ideas that tweens will love. No sitting around taking pictures with these kids. Kyaking, sledding, etc appreciated.

They have moved the cabanas because they are working on the dock and there is now direct beach access. The beach and water are very nice and not rocky at all. I have never done the bungalow but with the cabana your get floating mats, use of snorkel equipment and a cooler of Evian water. We were just there on 7/5.

Thanks for the update.

I guess I am going to leave the reservation for now. I am not sailing until June, so as it gets closer I'll look again at the location. I like the extra privacy and reserved spot as well as the upgraded food. Most reviews are positive even with the rocks. Here's to hoping direct beach access remains.

Does anyone know of any reviews of both that they can link to the Cabana and Bungalows on Coccoa Cay? I booked the Cabana because I heard they were better and had better food selection. Now I am hearing you can't get to the beach? that can't be right? help. reviews pics? Bueller?

Adding my story: after spending a good chunk of time on the phone with my TA and a RCCL rep, was assured multiple times that Oceanview Panoramic Suite 1804 on the Explorer would have full suite benefits including the gold card.

 

Had a good balcony booked (1388) but decided to give this a try because of the size of the cabin and the excellent price.

 

Some other info - booked with three people (which the RCCL rep originally thought wasn't going to fly, but was surprised when it went through) and wasn't required to put down a non-refundable deposit. However, I did book on the non-refundable deposit promotion which dropped the price considerable. Overall, the cabin was $100 cheaper than the original price of the balcony (the price is lower now with the promotion so I could have saved another $200 by re-booking the same balcony under the promotion).

 

Princess has ocean view full-suites which are priced pretty good, so this isn't a new concept. But I just bet a $300 non-refunded deposit that the info I got from the RCCL rep was correct! Wish me luck.

 

Cheers,

WOW,,,,, I am in almost the same boat...pun intended.... as you then. Booked with RCI agent and moved from larger oceanview to this panoramic suite based on increase but still reasonable price. I was told it was suite level and would have bathrobes, and suite access on deck 14. I am so stoked to get this large room and bunks for my kids... that was the real reason that I took it...they love bunks and ask at every resort and hotel to get them...

I did the same. After the dry dock, 1804 and 1854 on Adventure are named and sold as "suites" by RC. Now they might be "suites" in name alone like Jr. Suites and not get the perks, but I don't know that as of yet. They are providing complimentary Champagne and cupcakes upon arrival, but I have no idea what regular staterooms get.

 

Also, I was told that the minimum was 5 people. (Just what they told me). So if you price it with 5 or 6, it will definitely be more expensive than a JR. Suite that cannot hold that many. I will be interested to see what perks anyone gets from these "suites" on the Adventure after the 2018 dry dock.

That is interesting to me that you say that is was five people or six. When I tried to book the RCI agent told me those were for five or above, I was considering moving my mom into our cabin. (we all would like our own space) but we were considering it. When he opened the category to look it said "open booking" or open capacity in other words he said he could book it for any amount of people. So we got it with only four people in the room.

I don't know if this lends it more of a suite or not, but I was significant to me that he thought is was five and above but when he opened our sailing it was not. .......And the plot thickens.... Have a good weekend, all.

Sorry to pop everyone's bubble I'm booked on deck 12 right up to 2019 and they are listed only as Staterooms not Suites. Have had so much trouble with Travel Agents I only now book directly with RCI...

I booked directly with RCI and my mother is staying in balcony deck 12 forward and it is regular room not suite. OnAdventure, there are only two of these rooms over the front of the ship. RCI sold it to me as a suite, it has suite in the same, and I'm getting two points a night. I can't imagine it would still be state room sleeping six with a living room and seperate bunk bed room/area. It also has two bathrooms. One half bath and one full. When I purchased, I specifically asked about suite level. I understand that these room were family rooms in the past but not suites. I don't think Adventure has them yet and they are completing after drydoc in Jan. Are you booked in one of these two rooms? If so, I'll call RCI and check before I pay off my booking. I wouldn't want a suite that wasn't a suite :)

;p;pI like having a great view and no balcony. Lay on the bed and look at the ocean, ok by me. My hubby is afraid to have a balcony with kids, so it's perfect for us. I was told this category was just made a suite on later sailings after retrofit. They are named as a suite and I am getting two points per night on my C&A. I can only go with what the RCCL booking agent told me at booking. Time will tell.

I spoke with a RCCL Agent last night while working on a separate issue, and although she was new and not very familiar, she took a long break from our phone call to speak with a supervisor regarding my question about the Ocean View Panoramic Suite. For my sailing in June 2018, this is a Suite level. It accrues two points per night on C&A and comes with bath amenities, bath robes, concierge service, and suite lounge access on deck 14. If I get any other info I'll post it. I think this is a new change along with the removal of the word family from the name.

I just booked 1854 Ocean View Panoramic Suite on the Adventure of the Seas. My RCCL booking agent told me it was moved to suite level and I would get bath robes etc... I was not smart enough to ask about priority em/debarc etc or gold card, but he did say it was a suite and it was a new switch. I will call back and get details when I can.

I just booked and it was not online. I saw the picture on an nonrccl website and called. The agent told me that they are usually 5 person, but one was open availability and he booked us as a four.
