CruiseLoverFromNorCal Posted April 15, 2021 #401 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Can someone please help me answer a couple of questions? I am booked for 3/18/22 in a spacious balcony room 9336, for two people the total price is $2,025. I am thinking of switching to room 8330, which is the same room type and category. My questions are 1) did I get a good price, and 2) should I switch rooms or not? Thanks so much in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would switch to 9336, you will have a better view looking forward because the bump out won't restrict some of your view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crilski Posted April 15, 2021 #408 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I've booked B2B - January 17 & January 24th. Somewhat difficult getting the same cabin with a balcony. Ended up with 1164. New cabins . . . . hopefully noise from the pool area is blocked out with a door that closes. Anyone have experience with the bow cabins - deck 11? Also - as a D+ - hoping to get access to the concierge lounge. Excited to cruise on the west coast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crilski Posted April 15, 2021 #410 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Not too much difference between D and D+ . . . . I'd be happy with some drinks on my card to use all day then! Regardless - looking forward to cruising once again. Hoping that independent from the ship excursions are happening by Jan 2022.

I hope so .. I certainly can't see booking or needing an excursion for this Jan 17th. itinerary. I've been to these ports so many times and prefer to DIY. So excited to cruise from my home port again with RCI....I booked the minute it opened with a call to RCI before it was even on the website.

drewdrewcruiser Posted April 16, 2021 #412 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Were the cabins refurbished a few years ago, too? Specifically, were the junior suites on Deck 9 updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare thrifty99 Posted April 16, 2021 #413 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Booked a 7-night cruise on Navigator for next February. It was only $500 more for a Junior Suite so went with that to get the double points = 28. Excited to cruise out of LA as our son is moving there this summer. Will be nice to visit him and also enjoy a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a December Symphony cruise (Caribbean), March cruise on Virgin Cruises, and May Anthem cruise (Norway Fjords). Wanted to get another cruise in early 2022 for the double points -- the May Anthem cruise will get us Diamond Plus and we can forget about points after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. New decor like covers on the sofa, new cover on chair cushions but chair frame was original, new drapes, new artwork, new carpet. The bathroom hardly looked touched. Built in desk area and closets were not replaced. What do you consider refurbished? BTW - Mariner cabins were not "touched" - they looked the same as they always did before the AMP.

CruiseDreaming Posted April 16, 2021 #417 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I'm so happy RCI has returned to LA! Finally I can cruise RCI every year again! I won't have to do anymore Carnival cruises! Well, except the 2 I already have booked. 😀 Not that I don't enjoy those, it's just RCI is my preferred cruise line. I'm so excited!

I wonder if the person was looking at the slightly cheaper 4D category which can be problematic as there are under 15 of that category available in total so it can be difficult for B2B in the same cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a very good price for the Ultimate Dinning Package. When I tried to book it it says not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a YouTube video and thought the bathroom looked outdated. I know there are some modern cabins on the Mariner but those cabins weren't there before it was amped.

I know there are some modern cabins on the Mariner but those cabins weren't there before it was amped. Like Freedom class there are newly added cabins on decks 11 and 12 forward. There are also some interior on lower decks near the aft elevators that were added here and there. Navigator received some of these newer cabins before the amp and more during the amp. For example I stayed in in a deck 11 "panoramic ocean view" a month before Navigator went in for the amp. These cabins are completely new with new bathrooms and all. I've also stayed in an Liberty interior that was added before amps existed. They definitely feel newer. When possible I look in these areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
