cruiserdotcom Posted April 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2021 For some reason the ocean view category is minimal and relegated to deck 3. Is this peculiar to this ship? Agents are very reluctant to assist in the booking of this ship--cannot imagine why, since the sailing date is one year from now. I need some thoughts as to why I am being pushed into a guarantee room by agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserdotcom Posted April 22, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted April 22, 2021 The only cabins on 8 and 9 are so far forward that sea movement going TA might be risky. ? if everything is sold out or being reserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is sold out . There are plenty of cabins in both the 1N and 2N category. They are so far from being sold out they have opened up the 1N category to parties of two when they are ususlly held for parties of 3 or more. This is only some of the available staterooms.

Lady Hudson Posted April 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Just some information that might help you. We have had outside view deck 3 cabins on Anthem a number of times. Nice cabins with easy access to DL, food options, casino, music hall, dining rooms. Lots of venues to get to without using an elevator. This might be something helpful post-covid. If not booking a balcony we would take these cabins on any trip. Katherine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted April 22, 2021 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) I had cabin 6530 and my parents had 7516, which are pretty far forward, on the very rough inaugural transatlantic (Oct/Nov 2015). We had no issue with ship movement during rough seas. YMMV. I had oceanview cabin 3246 on a NE/CA cruise and I thought it was a convenient location. I've also had mid ship deck 7 balcony (Anthem Bermuda) and deck 13 balcony (Quantum TA). FYI - I booked an Inside [virtual balcony] guarantee on the May 2022 TA.

bellarosie Posted May 1, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I just booked cabin 3646 for my TA sailing in May. I had a balcony but could not justify the price difference of over $1500. Outrageous. Given that we are traditional dining, the location is pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipgeeks Posted May 1, 2021 #11 Share Posted May 1, 2021 We had a Deck 3 OV cabin for two of our three TA cruises. Excellent in all respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted May 1, 2021 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) @cruiserdotcom Heading East you want a cabin on the starboard side to get sun. Heading West you want a cabin on the port side to get sun. Edited May 1, 2021 by little britain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acadran Posted June 20, 2021 #14 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Question: This is our first TA. How many "formal" nights are there and which nights? Any idea? TIA Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
