  1. Have a great cruise! I was curious about your Jr Suite Gty experience. When did you receive your cabin assignment? We’re doing the Oct 14 Bermuda sail and booked the Jr GTY. Have done plenty of cruises, but never a guarantee. I know there’s no consistent explanation for when rooms are assigned, but we’re still curious. Also, never sailed on Liberty, but have plenty of Anthem experience. So we will definitely be following your review. Hope you have a great time! We love Bermuda, but Canada will also be fun too!
  2. I’m following this chat. The information is very helpful! After sailing quite a few times, (D+) we just booked our first guarantee, a Jr Suite guarantee on Liberty that sails in 9 weeks. All balcony rooms were sold out at this point, and I’m not interested in booking a full suite with the minimal perks offered on this ship. It’s actually adding a bit of suspense we’ve never had before— haha! Excited to get our assignment, even though it will be awhile. I’m sure we will be happy with any cabin we are assigned. Thanks to all who have patiently answered many questions I’ve wondered about too! I’m learning a lot.
  3. Newark, no question. LGA is not near Cape Liberty. It’s a HUGE hassle and very expensive to get to the cruise terminal in NJ. And definitely travel a day in advance
  4. I agree, which is why we don’t want to pay extra for a suite. It’s cheaper to buy a dining package and internet and the suite lounge isn’t a big deal since we are D+. I really wish RC would standardize a few things for all ships and their suite perks.
  5. Thanks for your thoughts. I’m sure we will be fine with the room. There isn’t much left with a balcony (just full suites), so we ended up with the guarantee. It will be a new learning experience for us. But on a 5 night cruise to Bermuda, we will be happy.
  6. We booked a guarantee Junior Suite on Liberty to Bermuda since that was the only Jr Suite offering available and balcony cabins are sold out. I’ve checked deck plans, and I don’t see any with obstructed balconies, but I could have missed something. Has anyone booked guarantee Junior suites? if so, any feedback or experiences? We haven’t booked guarantee cabins before. I know it will take some time before we get a room assigned. Since it’s not Quantum or Oasis class, I’m not thinking a full suite is worth the costs, even though we enjoy them on Anthem and Oasis. Looks like we have to buy an internet package no matter what room we have. Thanks for any information!
  7. This is a little off topic, but since we’ve never sailed on freedom class before, I am curious. We booked a junior suite guarantee because it was the only Jr choice. There were no balcony cabins left, and we didn’t want a full suite for a short cruise. we’ve cruised on Anthem quite a few times and I know there are no bad Jr Suite cabins on that ship. So, what about Liberty? It’s a 5 nighter so, I’m not overly concerned. Experiences?
  8. We usually book Grand Suites, but we are sailing on Liberty in October in a junior suite. The cabin looks great for the price. My feeling is that unless you are on Anthem or Oasis, the perks for a full suite aren’t worth the extra costs. We are Diamond plus, so the suite lounge drinks aren’t a huge deal for us, since we don’t drink that much. I wish RC would standardize the suite perks for all ships. I think it’s annoying that you don’t get internet as a perk in all suites. Plus the missing benefit of having no Coastal Kitchen makes me refuse to pay extra for a full suite. We are looking forward to Bermuda and to the Junior Suite.
  9. I’m pretty sure there is a dedicated room for Chef’s Table on Anthem. It’s inside Chops. I also saw this on the deck plans for Anthem. I’m pretty sure I recall seeing it in the past when we’ve dined in Chops.
  10. We decided to book it for our March cruise on Anthem. We didn’t want to wait to book until onboard, so we could plan around other evening activities and shows. The cruise planner is offering a 15% discount, so that basically covered the gratuity. The food looks delicious and I’m sure we will enjoy it, especially since we haven’t tried it before.
  11. Does anyone have a review of the Chef’s Table on Anthem? We are sailing in about a month and are considering booking it. We’ve sailed many times, but have never done this before. Thanks.
  12. Does anyone know if they are providing them with suites? They did in the past. Hopefully I will be able to find our old ones.
  13. Thank you to everyone who has replied. It completely answered our questions!
  14. I have a question regarding the Diamond + Bogo benefit to dine in the specialty restaurants. We’ve never used this benefit before since we enjoy Coastal Kitchen, and we’re wondering if there is any flexibility on the nights we prefer to use this benefit? I read that it’s to be used Day 1 or 2, but is this strictly enforced? Since we are sailing in a suite, can the Concierge make a reservation for the nights we prefer with this benefit? Thanks for your answers and experiences using this benefit.
  15. I haven’t been on CC for awhile, so this was a nice surprise to read. Sounds great to me! Does anyone know if there are menu changes in Coastal Kitchen as well? thanks.
  16. Great news. If you can go to theme parks, concerts, sporting events, school and work without needing a negative test prior, then you can cruise too… We went on 2 cruises with the testing protocols and it was a bit stressful until we got on the ship. it’s nice to avoid that now.
