MidwestIA Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) We have the 4 bedroom villa booked on the Liberty, 13 guests booked for this room. There are three other guests in our party but they are booked in a near-by interior stateroom. It’s my SIL’s husband and their teen sons. My MIL is adamant that RC will be allowing them to board with us when we all get to the port. They are Diamond and we have the same check-in time. I’ve done my best to set expectations regarding receiving suite perks as a non-suite guest (as in, they don’t get suite perks) to the entire family but I was wondering if anybody had any first hand experience with this? The boys will be on the ship quickly either way, I’m sure of it. It’s just my MIL that is in a state about our group not being together for everything. We fully plan on taking advantage of the rest of the suite perks we purchased either way, the boys are going to be fine lol Edited September 10, 2022 by MidwestIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 There are no “linked” perks. They are still completely separate reservations. Linking allows you to check them in, make meal reservations and book excursions on their behalf. It will NOT give them boarding priority, suite lounge access, or any other perks that are attributed to booking a suite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 We just did this with a Galveston trip, not with Liberty but with Grandeur. Same port folks. We had a suite but our friends did not. We were shown to the suite departure group but our friends were shown the regular staging area. You might be lucky if all of you go as a big group and they do not check every set sail pass but lately they have been checking everyone. Good luck MidwestIA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably wasn’t clear, I was just talking about boarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 If they are Diamond, they will board pretty early in the process even if not exactly with you. And you can all just wait where the photographers are taking pictures for them so you all “board” together. OR you can just wait with them and all board together. I dont think you are looking at a huge time difference either way. Neesa, MidwestIA and Linda R 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, the teens aren't really keen on getting their pictures taken with any of us WAAAYTOOO and Big Tule 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 Dont have to take pictures, just a convenient place to wait. Although I’ve learned thats the one picture i like to get. Shows what ship, when & who went. MidwestIA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
