Goofyisme Posted October 19, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I know there are significant size differences but not sure what the other "bennies" are. I think Grand has all day access to Costal Kitchen while Jr can only go for dinner if available but other things I am not sure of and website doesn't seem to be complete. What are some of the benefits of a Grand over Jr that are your favorites or are not well advertised. Thanks for any help/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted October 19, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2021 On O/Q ships internet access is included for GS and above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingBeanz Posted October 19, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I have done the GS and the SPA Junior on Anthem. The few additional perks - CC for all meals, Suite Lounge weren't work the extra bang. I also liked the Spa Junior way better as far as room layout goes. The dividing wall on the GS was not for me at all, I found it made the room seem tight and overall just a poor design. Just my opinion though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also free beer and wine from about 11-11 unless they changed that due to Covid. concierge services too. That isn’t provided with JS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maria1122 Posted October 19, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2021 We prefer the JR spa suite J4. I like having the two bathrooms. One with a sink and toilet and the other with a separate tub and large walk in shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been on that class ship before. Good to know as I assumed SL/CK benefits would be the same on both classes of ship. That is a big difference for sure. When we were in a CL suite the 11-11 free beer was a very nice perk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofyisme Posted October 19, 2021 Author #12 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Thanks for all the quick replies. Since there is no longer a Spa Jr Suite on the Anthem and I am not familiar with which Jr Suites are J4 I don't know how to select that type of suite. From older videos I have seen I agree the J4 looks like a really great layout just not sure how to get one. Oh well these are the types of problems it is good to have.

I have no idea... We were on Symphony in Aug. 2nd day we went into the SL about 3 pm and no one was there. A waiter from CK came out and asked if he could help. I asked him about the 11-11 he said he was surprised the bar wasn't open. He said before the shutdown he had worked on Allure and Harmony. The concierge called me later that day and said he was looking into it, he would get back to me... He never got back to me. With that said, I don't know if it is all Oasis Class or just Symphony and I also don't know if Symphony did the 11-11 Pre-Covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofyisme Posted October 20, 2021 Author #18 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Thank you all. You have given me enough information that I was able to figure it out and find the answer I was looking for.

Are the J4s on any particular deck more desirable? I have a choice of decks 6, 7, 9 or 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis class and Quantum class ships differ in the location of the Suite Lounge & Coastal Kitchen. On Oasis class ships, they occupy the same real estate. On Quantum class ships, the SL is on the aft on Deck 12 (13 on Odyssey) while CK is on Deck 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kernow Posted October 20, 2021 #22 Share Posted October 20, 2021 9 hours ago, ChC said: Good point about Junior: 1, Value for money 2, Even more value for money, especially if your are Diamond ++++ 3, Spacious, better lay out. Bad point about Junior: 1, Less perks, although bearable, and liveable if you are Diamond ++++ 2, On deck 10 where there are a lot of J3/J4 in 10200-10300 range, your wall is very thin. When housekeeping doing the bed, or the neighbour closing the door, you can feel it. Really feel it. We were in 10238 a couple of weeks ago, had people on both sides of us and didn't hear any noise. We thought it was a great cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free wiffi and other suite perks- priority boarding and disembarkation- more crown and anchor points. Other perks that I have forgotten. But the grand suites are very nice. Having the Costal Kitchen available for lunch and breakfast is a great advantage, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read somewhere and now can't find it, that Sky class and above can arrive 1 hr before your scheduled time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but enforcement of check in times varies by port and perhaps even day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
