MissKathy107 Posted July 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I’m trying to book a room on the Anthem 2/19/23 but they won’t allow more than 2 people per room. I know they have rooms that fit more than 2 because balconies and suites are still available. Does anyone know why they’re doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I think NJ schools may be closed that week for Presidents Week. Lots of kids onboard that week. They can only sell so many cabins with 3 persons, guessing they are figuring if they sell the rest of their open cabins with 2 persons they will be at capacity. Life boats etc. Edited July 30, 2022 by Jimbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobydobe7 Posted July 30, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Keep checking every day...They are probably close to capacity and killed the 3 person rooms... People cancel all the time, just keep checking...I will bet that something opens up at af ooe point...good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked an online TA and also the Royal website and both offered a variety of Inside and Balcony rooms for three people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alohayall Posted July 31, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Lifeboat occupancy can affect cabin availability, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingos Posted July 31, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Ships have a maximum occupancy. A friend was a pub singer on board a ship, and planned to have her sister join her for her last week. She was going to share her cabin. Alas, it was not to be. The ship was full to capacity, so full that CREW could not take up any extra lifeboat space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katsn1011 Posted July 31, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I booked a cabin for this cruise last week, went to check for additional cabins and there was nothing there. It might also be Canada spring break too. It is a Club Royale cruise also. So good possibility you will have people dropping cabins when they realize that. Keep an eye out for it daily. Good Luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that’s a Club Royale cruise? How different is it from a regular sail. I’ve got a free C R balcony sailing on February 4 and it’s an 8 niter.

Ken at the beach Posted July 31, 2022 #17 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The sailing is closed for new bookings regardless of stateroom occupancy. Cabins cannot even be waitlisted. Travel agents holding group space can still book guarantee cabins in several categories though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ggrrl1 Posted July 31, 2022 #18 Share Posted July 31, 2022 We are on that sailing - it's President's week and a lot of Northeast schools are off. Our TA had groups of rooms blocked. You may want to try locating a TA who has a block of rooms. We did book 2 rooms for the three of us though - I'm putting the kids in a connecting cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katsn1011 Posted July 31, 2022 #19 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I received a postcard from Club Royale, you can check your offers also . The website is clubroyaleoffers.com, you might have different offers. I know a lot of our schools are off that week. I would still check every so often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
