CrimsonCruiser Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Hi all! Looking at maybe booking our first Junior Suite (normally do GS) for Freedom of the Seas and wondering what the difference is between J3 and J4? Hoping someone can help and also accepting general thoughts and opinions on Freedom JS. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDaley Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 J4 is double occupancy while the J3's can hold 3-4 guests. I loved our J4 on Freedom (9538) as it was close to the elevators and we could easily peer into the bridge to see the officers during docking! dr martini, jbrinkm, CrimsonCruiser and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The really nice thing is if you can find them for your sailing or find the sailing that they are available, the JS on deck 10 rooms 1406/1706 are aft facing. For that view and price it is an awesome value. https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/deckplans/category-detail.php?c=504 Neesa, RCIfan1912 and CrimsonCruiser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the extra balcony space is awesome but I worry about a long walk especially after a full port day. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest Cruiser Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 @CrimsonCruiser it really isn't that far of a walk. From Cruisedeckplans.com RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted December 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 @Midwest Cruiser It doesn't look awful....but I also have to account for my technically-a-senior mom. While she could do the walk, it may be a turn off to go to and from often in a day. Thoughts? RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went on a cruise with my 70 yr old MIL - after this cruise, she has relegated herself to the fact that she will likely need a mobility scooter for port days. It might be something to look into if you are concerned about her getting around. You can rent them from companies like Special Needs Group who will deliver them to the ship on embarkation day. While she isn't disabled, her knees and hips were really bothering her. She didn't heed the advice to walk a lot in advance of the cruise and she parked her butt down on any wall, stool, bench, or shuttle that she could find. Lots of stopping and waiting during the trip... RCIfan1912 and Midwest Cruiser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only mention "technically a senior" because that's easier for most people to understand She can and has done the entire Cozumel pier with no issues, but good ol' fashion fussing cuz it's hot and the ship never seems to get closer (but I think we can all agree on that) RCIfan1912 and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
