wilson4 Posted February 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hi Just looking at the Quantum deck plans and wondering if anyone can tell me why some connecting balcony staterooms have boxes around the 2 rooms but there are lots more connecting staterooms which do not have a box around them? What does the box mean? Is there anything different about these rooms? We are a family of 4 looking to book connecting rooms and I would really like to know what the boxes mean - they must be there for a reason but I can't figure it out !!! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrpar Posted February 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The boxes are around rooms designed to be booked together. It isshown on the left side of the deck plans in the descriptions of room types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson4 Posted February 13, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Would there be any advantage in booking these connected room rather than other available connected rooms that are in better positions? We have always had 4 in a room before but the children are getting bigger and we need the extra space. My concern would be whether our rooms might get separated by a move or upgrade. I feel we might be safer with the boxed pair of rooms? I would welcome opinions and suggestions. This is my first time with RCL. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler80 Posted February 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I find it interesting that Quantum Class will have staterooms on Deck 13. Oasis class eliminated Deck 13 altogether, and Freedom Class had Deck 13 with no staterooms on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently booked a cruise on the new Norwegian Breakaway and noticed that she too has cabins on Deck 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what number the deck has, if it comes after 12 it's deck 13. Edited February 18, 2014 by Tyler80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey22kids Posted February 17, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So... did you ever receive an answer to your question, because I am wondering the same thing. Just booked connecting rooms on the Anthem of the seas. There are plenty other rooms, intended to be booked together, with the connecting symbol, but no box around the rooms like the ones I just booked and no explanation for the box in the key. Any help?

There are no staterooms on Decks 4 and 14 on the Quantum class, which probably makes any superstitious East Asian guests happy :) They don't care about 13, it's generally not considered unlucky to them. Deck 8 is probably super-popular amongst them, though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You can call Royal and have them put on a note on your reservation for no move or upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 17, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You can call Royal and have them put on a note on your reservation for no move or upgrade. You can do this online also for your booking under your onboard cruise preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted February 17, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So... did you ever receive an answer to your question, because I am wondering the same thing. Just booked connecting rooms on the Anthem of the seas. There are plenty other rooms, intended to be booked together, with the connecting symbol, but no box around the rooms like the ones I just booked and no explanation for the box in the key. Any help? Those rooms are connected differently. There is one door from the public corridor into a private "vestibule" or mini-hallway. Those three doors (balcony cabin, interior cabin, Junior Suite cabin) have their own doors that open from that hallway. If you book all three, you can just keep the main hallway door closed and keep your individual doors open to allow everyone in your family/group to have access to all of the spaces.
