I booked through a TA and he is checking on this but I want to ask here....well because yall know more than most. When I log onto RCCL and click my reservation for stateroom it says "Deluxe Guarantee". When I click that it says Suites on Anthem of the Seas it shows a picture of of a junior spa and describes a junior spa. Under the description it says, "deluxe stateroom guarantee" and says you are guaranteed to receive a superior ocean view stateroom. When I click the view button, is says "spa junior balcony suite" and describes a jr balcony suite and once again beneath the description it says you are guaranteed to receive a superior ocean view stateroom. I always thought a superior ocean view stateroom was a balcony not a suite, I could be wrong. Is this how a suite guarantee looks, or should I be very worried that I will be given a balcony instead of suite.

Are we able to ask about specific online travel agents here, about experiences and whether they are reputable or not?

Well took the plunge and booked a suite guarantee, hopefully we get something not too noisy and different from the spa Jr suite we have booked for Nov.

DH and I are considering booking the Mar. 24th Anthem of the Seas in honor of our 25th wedding anniversary. We decided after looking for weekend getaways in various cities and the cruise is a much better value especially since we can drive to the port in less than 2 hours, besides cruising is both of favorite way to vacation. We are thinking of stepping out of our comfort zone (that's an adventure of us...i know i know) and booking a junior suite guarantee or booking a grand suite. Anyone have any experience with junior suite guarantees on the Anthem?

We are also booked on the Thanksgiving sailing of the Anthem in a Spa Junior Suite. We got a really good price and really want to try that room. If we were given a Spa Junior suite in March we would try to upgrade this cruise to a grand suite.

TIA

Would love to see this too.

There are some very nice people here on CC. After reading the I initial post and the OP calling this discriminatory I had to stop reading. That is the one of THE MOST RIDICULOUS things I have heard in 2018 and quite possibly ever.

We got the WOW bands on Harmony and loved them. My wife and I both work out in the mornings and it's nice not having to carry anything while doing so. I know the card is small and unobtrusive, but it's just one less thing to worry about for us.

 

Weren't ugly to us as we always wear activity monitors anyway, and those things are by no means fancy. My worrying about what others think of what I look like or what I'm wearing is WAYYYY past.

 

I also wear a Thin Blue Line band and a RunID band. I'm banded up so one more ain't gonna hurt me.

 

As I said, worked great for US. We thought they were great and will get them wherever offered, our opinions. And we all know about opinions right?

You can reuse the ones you already have, just go to guest services.

How would you handle this on land, would you go to both for each other and try to find something you each like. Either go with each other or don't have dinner together that day. We don't always have to have everything our way.

I contacted my TA who was out today but another agent said they would help. We are booked in a JS on the Anthem in Nov. They are offering $350 OBC and free gratuities. At the time I didn't know what we paid. Needless to say both sub TA and the reps she spoke to at RC are both idiots.the TA told me she could make the change but rc wouldn't give me the free champagne and free specialty dining currently on the booking. Insaid that's because it came from your company not them, she said Oh it did? Then she had us both on the phone, the rep had the audacity to ask me when told them about the OBC and free gratuities was I sure I was on the royal website. I was highly offended by this, I can read. I immediately told the TA. It to change a thing and I would take screen shots off my computer for both her and the rep at royal so they will now what customers are talking about when they call and no longer be uninformed. I sent several, the TA thanked me and said she sent them to the rep but got nothing on response. In the end since RC increased the prices for their sale, it will save us $22, which isn't alot but is something. I wasn't going to have either idiot I talked to today make any changes though. She is going to have my ta call me tomorrow.

matj2000 was snarky but Boba wasn't. IMHO neither were but people are extra sensitive.

Okay thank you for confirming. I look at everything the TA can offer me and the fees they charge (if any)

 

All my family wants is a little OBC and a free specialty dinner for at least 1 night but it seems as if no one can offer that

We transferred our anthem nonrefundable booking to a travel agent that gave us additional on board credit, a bottle of champagne and dinner at the restaurant of our choosing.

I find the doors extremely difficult to unlock and opened I can't imagine even the strongest 3 yr old being able to open it.

I think it depends on intent. If the person intended to hurt you that wrong and should be reported. If it was an honest mistake, no need to report.

Sure, the part I wasn't standing in to take the photo. :D (There's a second chair of course.)

Spacious and comfortable.

Is the balcony in a spa junior suite the same size as a regular balcony room?

Hi

 

January 2017 we had a junior suite on Anthem. Cabin 8232. A traditional junior suite (not spa or family). We thought it was a great cabin.

 

I will include a few pictures

We sailed in a Spa Junior Suite on Anthem's inaugural TA. We LOVED this cabin. Spacious, comfortable, tons of storage. Loved the sitting area on the sofa next to the balcony. The walk-in shower was fabulous (I don't do tubs, especially at sea). And, while unnecessary, it was still nice to have that half-bath (although it took me a couple of nights to remember which bathroom I'd put my toothbrush in ;p). Great location on the straight part of the hump, near the elevators.

 

We loved the SJS so much we have another one booked in February.

Where can I find the layout?

I Googled them I was lucky enough to find a video of the Jr spa suite right next to mine for our Thanksgiving cruise.

I would say that from Scranton, they are definitely driving.

 

cruiserdudebobby8, pack for normal Bahamas weather, but with extra layers. If it's cool when you leave New Jersey, you can wear a sweat shirt over your t-shirt..

Ohhhh I didn't see the Scranton. If driving you can take alittle more warm clothes for the first day and a half to two days and the last day and not worry about weight of luggage.

My girlfriend and I are sailing on Anthem in October 27th to Nov 3rd to the Bahamas. What's the best way to pack? I know we will have different temperatures and such. This is my first time cruising this route at this time of year. I normally cruise July and August.

Are you driving or flying to cape liberty?

I just looked at several J1-J4 cabins and didn't see any difference in bathrooms or closets.

You didn't look at the JS on the Anthem of the Seas then. JS on other ships have a walk in closet, the JS on anthem do not. The spa JS and the regular JS have different bathrooms as I said above.

In a have been looking into this too. We booked a junior suite on the anthem too thinking it had a walk in closet. The spa junior suite J4 is for 2 people and had a 1 and a half bathrooms with a separate shower and soaking tub. The J3 JS doesn't have a walk in closet nor a half bath. It does have a shower/tub combo and can hold 4 people.

I didn't go to the Main dining room last week but there seemed to always be Indian selections in the windjammer so they make them.

One other thing.....strollers, I understand why people bring them but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I won't even comment on double strollers.

Oh we also ate dinner at the solarium, it was just OK. I wouldn't eat there again.
