Thanks-the cabins are about 8 doors down. I think we will be fine doing the key swap. I was wondering if the concierge could help with something like this too?

Curious as to why you are asking about the concierge lounge as neither room entitles you to use it. You either have to be in a suite or be diamond. And welcome to RCCL. You will love it!!

Thanks for the quick responses and warm welcomes! I had read that the Ben and Jerry's cabin also provided access to the concierge lounge, and the sales rep confirmed it. She said I could use the concierge to book spa appts, and that they offer continental breakfast and snacks before dinner. I was most interested if it would provide us a place to go upon boarding or while waiting until disembarkment, since these are sure to be crazy Easter week. Also, was wondering if they would let all four of us in, or just the two booked for that cabin.

As an aside, will we need to get extra keys made to allow a cabin switch since we currently have one adult and one child in each cabin? This is what we've done on Carnival.

After five cruises on Carnival, I just booked our first cruise on RCCL for next Easter aboard the Liberty. With the help of these boards, I think I did a lot of things right, but am always open to suggestions.

While I prefer many exotic stops, the family asked for a more relaxing pace and on board amenities. I am satisified with Liberty's itinerary since I like the general fitness theme and I've never stopped in San Juan or a private island. We booked deck 6 to keep cost down (still higher than Carnival). I selected a hump cabin (6334) for DH and myself (will be our 20th anniversary) and the Ben and Jerry's cabin for our two teenage boys. The ice cream will be a plus. Can anyone tell me what the benefits of access to the concierge lounge will be (particularly if it is a benefit for dis/embarkment)?

We took the later dining option to give us time after shore excursions. What else do I need to know?? Anything about how to make the most of our cruise and shore excursions would be very much appreiciated!

This thread DID start out as a general discussion of jeweler recommendations, not to slam anyone in particular.

 

Thanks Gary. You post arrived just in time as we are leaving this weekend. Still not sure I have the extra income for the piece/gem I have in mind, but I do appreciate all the advice!

A different thread lists lots of names of jewelers on St. Thomas, though many people believe St. Maarten is the better stop for gem stones. I'm thinking tanzanite and/or diamond slide or ring. Any recommendations? Also, what time do the jewelry stores close?
