BeagleAgility Posted November 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Two very quick questions... I know that the Junior Suite is not considered a "full" suite but: 1. Is it charged the higher suite amount for the daily gratuities? 2. Can you order room service without the fee? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Lower gratuities for the JS. No free room service for the JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradison Posted November 19, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2019 We like it for the bigger bathroom and the bigger closet. The one we had on Anthem also had a huge balcony (unfortunately it was the cruise with the worst weather we have ever taken). Oh well. It was a great cabin and we needed nothing more. P.S. On Anthem we were able to eat dinner in the Coastal Kitchen every night which was a huge step up from the MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryL31 Posted November 20, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I am currently in my first JS (first suite period) on Anthem. It is really not that much bigger than a balcony cabin, but is laid out much better. The bathroom is sorta split in 2, whIch we did not know in advance. Toilet/sink on one side of entrance and shower/tub/sink on other. As for Coastal Kitchen, I do not know how we are going to do without it on our upcoming March cruise...JS category is sold out and though I could go on a waiting list for a JS cancellation, I hate to deal with pricing on another room category after the excellent price we got for our balcony room. .

DaniDanielle Posted November 20, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Are you in the suite with the smaller balcony? As far as Coastal Kitchen, did you make your reservations on Day 1 for the whole cruise? We booked our first JS for December. It has the larger balcony and is off the hallway. We can’t wait to try CK! Enjoy your cruise and thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what they used to call a spa junior suite. We found the cabin smaller than other JS we have had on other classes of ship. It wasn't bad, but just smaller than expected. Like access to Coastal Kitchen though 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryL31 Posted November 20, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) We are in 10636. It is a hump cabin. We are traveling with friends who are Diamond Plus and in a Grande Suite, so they were able to make reservations for Coastal Kitchen in advance of the cruise through the concierge. Don't think the balcony is larger than the usual balcony. . Edited November 20, 2019 by MaryL31 To add comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryL31 Posted November 20, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I am pretty sure if we were not with our friends, we would have had to go to CK immediately upon boarding to make reservations. By no.means do I suggest that the food and service.in the MDR are not excellent but CK just perfection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofyfanatic Posted November 20, 2019 #15 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It was called that on the 10/24/2019 sailing. Maybe they changed it since? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted November 20, 2019 #16 Share Posted November 20, 2019 There was a separate category called Spa Junior Suite when this class of ship first came out but they changed a bunch of category names a couple of years ago. I haven't seen it listed as that since then and sailed one in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted November 20, 2019 #18 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Is the J4 much smaller than the J1 with the large balcony??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, since they combined them and took away the different named categories, the website doesn't make sense. From the website, yours is 9 sq ft larger but balcony is doubled for yours. Does yours have one and a half bathrooms? There was a family JS that did. Ours was the one that used to be called a spa JS and it had the split bath with toilet/sink in one and tub/sink and a larger stand alone shower in the other. There is one that has a true one and a half bathroom (toilet in both) and I am not sure which that is anymore. Edit: Ours was larger than a balcony cabin but smaller than JS we have had on Freedom class and Radiance class.

DaniDanielle Posted November 20, 2019 #20 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Website gives me a headache. From pictures I saw, looks like one bathroom with tub. Charlie loves his tub so good for him! We mainly booked for the double points but a little more space doesn’t hurt. I remember the spa JS looked small when we peeked in, really should be bigger. Anyway, you have a lovely cruise if I don’t talk to you before then😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted November 20, 2019 #24 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I Think it is around August 16th. I also liked the eight day one. Charlie doesn’t care for the itinerary but we don’t have to get off the ship. Oasis is my favorite, I think because it was our first of the class. It is just special to me..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
