cant_w8_2_cruise Posted September 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2015 So, I was able to score the Ben & Jerry Sweet for my kids for our Spring break cruise. It will be a surprise to them, Yay!! I have read all of the reviews and threads, so I know not to expect suite perks and if we get them, BONUS! (I also know about the potential noise, but my kids can sleep through most anything). (But also, FREE ICE CREAM!!) I basically snatched up the room when I saw it was available and then saw some video and pictures of the room. That's when I started to have some concern about the view from the connecting cabin- 6307. I knew the kids room wouldn't have a view (well, except of cow butts!) but I was thinking they could come to our room to catch the action on the promenade. I saw a picture that showed the roof of Ben and Jerry's and it seems to stick out under both cabins. I've seen that lots have people that have booked 6305 have also had the connecting cabin. Could anyone tell me will we be able to still see most of what's happening on the promenade, or will our view be mostly blocked?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted September 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I don't know the answer to your question about the view but I wonder what they will do if the cabin does in fact qualify for suite privileges. Their cabin will qualify for suite privileges and your cabin will not. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant_w8_2_cruise Posted September 16, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Technically, My name is on that cabin because you have to have one adult booked in each cabin (at least, that is my understanding...) so I would be the one to get the suite perks! We were planning on letting the kids sleep in there together and my husband and I would take the other cabin. Another question- Could my husband go with me to the CL, if my card does end up working to get in there? His name is on the connecting cabin.

LilBlackDress Posted September 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Not usually. Couldn't the Husband and Wife be booked in 6305 and the kids booked in 6307? From what I remember when booking with my stepson (when he was under 21) He just needed to be in a connecting or adjacent cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rstout Posted September 16, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2015 On the Liberty, our windows were so dirty in 6307 that it was difficult to see much of anything with clarity. You certainly wouldn't want to watch a parade from there. But the view would have been fine. Our kids had no problem with noise in 6305. We didn't bother going in the CL - our kids only cared about the ice cream, and we don't drink. I tried to get a cabana at Labadee ahead of time by emailing the concierge, but he told me that the suite guests get priority, and I could get in touch with him once on board. I didn't want to risk not getting a cabana, so I went to the excursions desk when I got on board and booked that way. He did call me later once we were on the ship to see if I was still interested in a cabana, but I told him we were all set. Our letter was bare bones - it indicated we had access to the ice cream and CL for the guests in that room. I wouldn't hesitate to book those rooms again, especially with kids. They had fun with the cow theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got our coco Cay cabana confirmed up front when on Freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edited to add: We are on Liberty, to clarify for those with experience!) You'll need to call Royal and have them switch the names on the reservations/rooms for you. You can't do this online. Put you and the hubby in the Sweet and the kids in the other room. Easy Peasy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have access to the CL and have minor children, are they allowed in there with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 16, 2015 #12 Share Posted September 16, 2015 If you have access to the CL and have minor children, are they allowed in there with you? Current rules say children are allowed in the CL with parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted September 16, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Current rules say children are allowed in the CL with parents. I know, but what if they are not in the same room. See my point. Seems vague since children are generally sharing cabin with parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that it doesn't matter if they are not in the same room, they are still allowed in the CL with parents or guardians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good. We have early dining, so I don't know how much we'll be able to take advantage of the CL, but if we can drag the kids there on the way to or from dinner, that just might work! ;) Another assumption... if I booked through (Insert name of large warehouse store travel dept), I should call them to change the names on the booking/rooms, correct? Or can I call Royal directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 17, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 17, 2015 T...I should call them to change the names on the booking/rooms, correct? Or can I call Royal directly? You need to call the travel agent to change names on the staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
