I have booked the Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel for precruise.  No one has mentioned it at all.  Is this a bad choice?  We will be flying to Newark and will need transportation to the port.

 

 

Special thanks to Mysticks1 on the Celebrity Cruises forum for this idea. I would like to begin to assemble one for Royal Caribbean.

 

To the moderators, I would appreciate if we could make this a "sticky" at the top of the page for all to see.

 

Every week or two I will post a PDF for all the ships and cabin information compiled here.

 

Please, refrain from posting cabin questions here so this can purely be an informative thread, especially for those that are first time cruisers or seasoned cruisers looking for a great cabin.

 

The template is as follows:

 

Ship -Liberty of the Seas

Deck - 9

Stateroom # - 9704

Stateroom Category – Balcony

Starboard or Port Side - Aft

 

Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – Yes

 

Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? -No

 

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – I would NOT recommend this cabin because of balcony issues. The window was only a porthole which was totally unexpected and the curtain hung over half of it. The door to the balcony was very heavy and difficult to open and every morning, which would have been a prime time to sit on the balcony, everything was wet. There were lounge chairs but very little room to move around them with the triangle shape.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Undersized because of triangular shape.

Was wind a problem? -No

 

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? -A couple of mornings they had to be cleaned off.

 

Any specific problems with this cabin? -Not with the cabin...just the balcony.

 

Any other comments? -

This is the first time in over 20 cruises that we have paid for a balcony and gotten a porthole view. We have enjoyed the aft view on previous cruises but this time got little use of the balcony because of wet or sunny conditions.
