Anthem North Star Bar loungers. Who has rented them, and what was your experience?

[Doc2725]

Thinking about renting these for the two sea days on our 5 day Bermuda cruise. I know they are expensive, but it's worth it to us to not have to get up early to get a chair. Those who have done it"

 

Do they come around and take drink orders?

Are they comfortable?

Is there any shade?

Overall, did you find it worth it?

No shade.

Thank you. What else can you tell me about your experience reserving one?

If you have GS or higher you can do the Suite Sun Deck and skip all this. I admit it would be pretty cool though, especially if you have a few folks. It's right next to the bar though, too, so flagging someone down wouldn't be hard!

We did not end up reserving one because there was absolutely no shade and a bit of a trek to the pool to cool off.

Gotcha. Do you remember if they sold out?

I did not know they existed. But if this is them in the following thread, I would pass. We have been on this ship twice but in the winter months.

When I have seen them, they are empty. No one seems to find value in paying that price.

If there was shade I might consider it. But, I get that they can't plop big clamshells or umbrellas in this spot because it'd block the sight lines. Just not the thing for a glowing redhead. ;)

When I saw these I thought they were for diamond members or GS - how much are they to rent ? I don't think I would because I can just sit at the tables that are right next to it but I was curious about the price.

I think they are like $150 a day, which is steep. However. We have a $400 obc, and some comp dining, so we may use it on that. It's nowhere near as nice as NCL's vibe, which was amazing and sold out in about 5 minutes.

Is this something new that they rent those chairs? I didn't see any indication of them being reserved when we were on-board (October 2016)

It's not something they really advertise. It is more of a word of mouth or guest inquiry sort of thing.

Ah ok, it didn't seem closed off when we were on-board, I think I may have even sat in those seats for awhile. We liked the NS bar, but it did get hot up there with no shady spots
