I went back to check my pics form Explorer and Voyager. They had only 2 panes of glass - when I went to check our Allure pics - there were 3 panes of glass on sliding glass door like Quantum. I didn't even notice that when sailing Allure - just picked it out on pics on this thread.

Did you notice the sliding glass doors on the balconies? On all the other ships, there has only been one division and you slid half the door to open it. It appears as though there are 3 pieces of vertical glass on the door - not 2. It doesn't look like the door is divided into 2, but into 3 and the middle part moves to open or close. Is this a new door style - I don't remember seeing any like this before??

When we sailed out of Cape Liberty - we did not have to exit the ship. Maybe it depends on other ports of call. All we had to do was go to guest relations and they gave us a NEW key/card. This card worked to pay for our drinks, but would not unlock our cabin door. So, we had to go back and they quickly fixed the problem.

We booked a grand suite (2 of us). The rest of our family (2) are in a balcony cabin. Will they be allowed to sit with us in the reserved area of theater (since they not in suite) and will they be able to sit with us on deck in gold card area? Just wondering what the rules were - thanks for your advice.

We usually like to book the front of the hump - like view to the bridge. In this cabin - will we be able to see the bridge or only aft. It appears we are a little to the right of the center. Or if you have sailed this cabin in any other Freedom class - Please advise - thank you!

I am currently Diamond and booked a cruise for Oct. 2015 on Liberty. I DID get the $325 balcony discount - and appreciate that. In March of 2015 I will sail on Quantum - after that I will be Diamond Plus. Since final payment not due for my October cruise - will they adjust my balcony discount to $350 the Diamond Plus amount? It is only $25 - but that is $25 I could use for specialty restaurant or something else on ship. Let me know if this was able to be done if any of you had a tier change before your next cruise. Thank you so much!

My cousin wants to sail with us and will be delighted that there is NO single supplement. HOWEVER, why are they saying - capacity for 2 - I really don't think it is fair to sell these to couples. They were made for 1 person to avoid the supplement. Couples can get a regular cabin??

Does anyone know the square footage of the solo cabins on Quantum/Anthem? I was wondering how they compared to the solo cabins on NCL which are 100 square feet.

Forgive me for not understanding or missing reading a certain post - I am not sure what you mean when you speak of the trellis near the life boats. I know part of Windjammer will be outside - is the "trellis" another outside area??? Please clarity - I appreciate all your comments and pictures!!

1. Does the Liberty have both a Diamond and Concierge lounge?

2. Do you make entertainment reservations online prior to sailing like you do on Oasis and Allure?

3. Is there a spa area with heated loungers, or just a sauna?

Anything special you liked about Liberty and want to share?

Can the special C & A rate be combined with NEXT CRUISE on board credit AND Diamond Balcony discount?? Thanks!

Thank you do much - sounds good!

Since I deposited Next Cruise about 2 years ago NOT specifying a cruise - when I do book a cruise will I be grandfathered and get $100 on board credit or only $50 under new policy?

I know I can combine these two discounts. Can I also combine any Royal Caribbean sales as well? Also if I book a suite must I add more to my $100 deposit for each person for Next Cruise?

Thank you so much for your reply. I think you are correct - i was looking from the wrong side. I thought the door entering the living room area was half of a sliding glass door and I

thought the green wall was a curtain. I was looking at this on my tiny phone screen and the brown door looked black - thought was sliding door at night. Your perspective makes much more sense and makes this suite very attractive. In the past all Royal Caribbean pics of grand suite were taken from entering the cabin facing the two sliding doors - so I thought that is how this pic was taken. Again thanks for responding - like your vision better!!!

Yes I saw the pics from Germany Meyer werft. I did see large portholes facing front so that looks great. If you look at the pic posted above it appears as though the bathroom will be located where the second sliding door would be located. Hopefully,I am wrong and there will be enough room for a second sliding door. Hopefully, the floor plan will soon be posted along with the pic.

It looks like only one sliding glass door? I loved the wide ocean view in all the other grand suites on the other ships? Is the second sliding glass door gone or just hidden on this pic? With such a huge balcony there would have been plenty of room for 2 - anyone know? Thanks!!!

Thank you so much - appreciate your rapid response! I won't get to book till May 15, but at least I have the time frames.

I am sure this is listed somewhere, but I am unable to find it. What is the earliest time to book dinner and the latest time to book dinner when making all your dinner reservations. Thank you!

On NCL - one could walk to any restaurant any time if you did not make a reservation - many times one could walk right in. If not you would be given a beeper just as on a land restaurant and waits could be anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes to 45 minutes. During this wait - drinks were given a discount. NOW - on Royal Caribbean am I correct in that one MUST have a reservation to get in - you cannot just walk into a restaurant without making one?? It seems that you MUST make a reservation - that would alleviate the wasted time waiting on NCL if you just walked to a restaurant when you are hungry. Let me know if this is correct. Thank you!

Just curious - since the OBC for owning stocks is not combinable with some other offers - did you keep your stock or sell it. Just wondering what others have done - thank you!

I am not trying to be negative - sure the dogs will be delicious, but with the size of the ship I thought there would be a real food truck like one sees in NYC and larger cities. It will not ruin my cruise at all - just saying I really thought it would be a real food truck placed on the ship.

If a family is staying in a suite and wants to invite 2 family members cruising non suite to join them for dinner in Coastal Kitchen - is there a fee??? And if so what is it? Thanks

Will it be easy to set up dining with friends at same table at different restaurant each night - we had trouble with this recently at specialty restaurants recently even though TA linked our reservations - Please advise thank you!

I know fresh squeezed orange juice is included - does this include O J for ro service ?
