This question sounds like your casing the joint. Are you gonna "Ocean's Eleven" the cruise?

I splurged and got the shower package so I don’t have to share.

Thanks, Matt. This being our first cruise, I think we'll pass on The Key and see whether we wish we had it. I doubt we will. Under 300 days to go! 'Waiting for our renewed passports to arrive in the mail. I'm really happy to have this to look forward to! This is the magnet photo that will be on our cabin door, taken on our wedding day, 16 years ago this month. That's my U.S. Navy veteran who believes he never wants to set foot on a ship again. . . . but he doesn't want me to go alone (Yeah, sure!). ?

Last cruise on day 3 we got a note advising our TA had given us a $100 OBC. Totally unexpected. Totally drank it away.

That site is anything but legitimate listings. People bring it up because you find like half of RC's fleet in there. Bottom line, it doesn't mean anything.

There are some big box stores that will give extra discounts. I also book all my own travel arrangements to most places except a cruise. Using a TA helps me as I typically book connecting rooms and those aren't the easiest to find on my own. I can and sometimes will tell the TA the exact rooms to book but she still does the booking as she needs to call RC since I have my kids under 21 in a room and we'll be in the other. That being said let me share what my TA (Nancy at MEI) has done for me in the past 6 weeks. This is the first time in 5 or so years of cruising where I've had problems. 1. My TA called me out of the blue to tell me about my July Navigator cruise. RC moved one of the rooms (my kids room) to a different deck. When we booked, the room had a 4 person occupancy but after dry dock it was only for 2 people. My TA caught it and spent 3 days working on what she knew would be an acceptable solution to me. She and her supervisor finally had both of the rooms moved so they are still connecting. While she explained this to me, she casually mentioned the next problem in #2. 2. May Symphony cruise. RC said I suddenly owed a balance. My TA showed them the paperwork that we were paid in full. I think it was because I canceled the Key and rather than refunding me, RC somehow said I owed them the money. My TA worked it out so I could get my refund and show it was paid in full. I couldn't print out my set sail passes and she spent some time on the phone working through their IT issues and it was finally solved the day before my cruise. 3. Another email from the TA. "Did we cancel your 2 sons on your March 2021 cruise? RC refunded the deposit for them." She quickly put my 2 boys back on the reservation so I didn't have a repricing situation. Talk about bad luck with RC over the past few weeks. I've been dealing with a family crisis and absolutely would not have had the time to been able to resolve these on my own. While I don't pay her a dime directly, she has been a wonderful advocate for me when problems come up. And that doesn't even talk about my Alaska cruise where she's priced out so many different options for me.

Hi! I'm Maggie from Maryland and I cruise with my husband and 2 Autistic teens. This is their second cruise, my husband and my 3rd. Our next cruise is in a couple of weeks to Alaska on Ovation and my retired parents are joining us. We are all getting very excited!!

Surely this wisdom is worth $1M. My paypal address is...

I Did Some Looking And Found That Majesty Is For Sale But Not Empress.

Good idea as RC frowns upon sharing of packages.

Michelle @ MEI is my superstar.

Now available for the home too! Feel like you're on the high seas everytime you hose yourself off!

Seaplex was really cool for the kids ... and me. Basketball, soccer, dodgeball, bumper cars, trapeze, fooseball tables, ping pong tables and a couple of air hockey. I think some of the air hockey cost a couple of bucks ... we didn't play that.

On Anthem an out of control kid ran into the Staff Captain, literally. This brat had been punching random guests waiting near elevators while the parents did nothing. Small kid like 5 or 6 so not a death punch but still, you don't do that. He's running around and slams into the Staff Captain who walks into the area by coincidence. Staff Captain grabs kid and tells him to slow down, calm down, etc. Father doesn't like a crew member admonishing his kid so he starts getting into it verbally with Staff Captain. Along the way the father escalates it into "I know where you live and I'm coming for your family". Boom - cabin arrest. Next morning the whole family was put off in San Juan. Around eight of them including grand parents who all got to fly home at their own expense. Big tough Jersey attitude didn't fly with the Staff Captain. Threatening his family was the last straw. I'm sure this guy went home and told his friends "I didn't do nothing, we were just kicked off" and maybe by New York or New Jersey standards that's just friendly banter but it didn't work on the ship. That was our first stop on a 11 night cruise after one sea day coming down from Bayonne. Nice way to lose what must have cost several thousand for the cruise plus then having to buy plane tickets same day to fly home.

It's apparent that American's don't care for tea...It was all thrown in the harbor long time ago.?

Also, I will put a plug in for jewelers mutual insurance. I have 5+ precious metal Rolex watch’s all in the $xx,xxx.xx price range and they are all insured (as are my wife’s). This is piece of mind. I never have to worry about leaving our watches in the room safe or taking them with us off the ship. You should look into this option if you are concerned at all about where or when you can where your timepieces. And also for the record, zero fu*ks given about other people’s reaction to our watches. We wear them for us and nobody else. With that being said in the 20 years I’ve been wearing Rolex watches I’ve only had a handful of people notice or comment on my watch. People (unless they are watch fanatics) don’t notice watches and especially yellow gold watches as they assume that it’s a fake gold Michael Kors exc.

My $30 Rolex bought on the streets of San Juan stays at home. It claims to be waterproof but I'm suspect so I leave it at home.

Just thought I would share my opinion. I am 32 and I really like celebrity.. Sure its a more relaxed environment but I don't mind.. I find the food to be much better than Royal. I also find the beds more comfortable than Royal.. Also I am a gambler and I like that their casinos are totally NON SMOKING. This really is a plus for me.. They have the old style shows but I am ok with that. I know what I am getting when I go on celebrity. I like to mix it up I like Royal for certain trips and celebrity for certain trips.. But I don't think only old people have to go on it.. True I don't see many children but like I said I am in my early 30's and really enjoy it. I really suggest it for such places like Europe, Alaska, O Canada New England because they are more port intensive so less need for the extras that Royal provides..

Not sure where you are going out of but I was in Fort Lauderdale...Make sure you follow the signs for the Key Program at the port - they are close to the Suites area. It gets you just behind Pinnacles, Suites and then The Key for embarkation. When getting on the ship the place to take your carry on is in the theater area, 5th floor if I remember correctly. The carry on gets taken to your room. Had lunch at Chops at 1200 and by the time we were done the rooms were ready and the carry on's were sitting in my room. The VOOM code were also sitting in the room when we got there and we were up and running quickly. When on the ship you will have seats at shows ready for you indicated by a Key placard sitting on the seats. Make sure to show up 15 minutes prior to the show because they start to take up the signs and anyone can sit there. The three row of seats are center stage and are in a very good spot. There are times for rock climbing and Flowrider set aside for Key purchasers and will be in your daily events calendar. The night before departing there were Key Tags in our room to put on the luggage and the luggage was taken to an area marked by a Key Sign, close to Suites baggage, to be picked up (super easy and quick to get off the ship and customs). The last day we ate in the main dining room, 5th floor and then waited for them to call us. I was off the ship and through customs in about 5 minutes. I waited longer on the bus to go to the airport than I did for getting off the ship. I'm sure I forgot some stuff but if it is at the right price I would do it again if I am not in a Suite.

We prefer the mass of humanity, all trying to navigate the WJ while pulling their wheeled carry-ons behind them! It's a tradition! ?

My first concert was Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons at the Wisconsin State Fair 1972. BJ Thomas opened for them. I was in grade school, but to most, it still makes me old! ? To all the youngsters out there remember this. Some day your music will be on the oldies station!

Dan also loves the sushi making classes but he is a terrible student. He just does his own thing and ignores the sensei. Of course, I’m no better. I enjoy some sushi but I HATE that seaweed wrap so I leave it off. Yes, my rolls are a bit “flaccid” but they sure taste better (to me).

I am glad these things exist now.. I am 32 years old and I have Asperger syndrome.. I am very verbal and open to talking about it.. But anyway when I was a kid my first cruise was at age 9 and it was very difficult for me.. I was extremely shy and scared of going to the kids program.. In fact I am not so sure back then they would of known what to do with a kid like me.. Now I still have my issues but I am high functioning (Went to a great college program that helped me really come into my own).. Anyway I love cruising but I still have issues especially sensory issues and even at 32 I call the cruise line and explain my issues and they help me anyway they can.. I am always allowed to have separate muster drills (the loud noise really bothers me also don't like to be touched by people so being herded outside like cattle doesn't work for me) But its great to know that they have come leaps and bounds with regards to their children's programming. Just thought I would share my perspective as an adult on the spectrum.

The Coastal Kitchen staff rocks! I think we both thought the staff on board Anthem were over the top! Meet Austin, our primary waiter. He's moving to Canada after his assignment is over. He was fantastic! Meet Reuben, an extremely interesting and amazing manager ... meet him and see for yourself ? Meet Anna. She will greet you when you enter always with a smile and glad to see you. She remembers your favorite seat! Extremely friendly! We need more of her in our restaurants back at home !!

As some others have said, looking at online videos helps a lot. From my experience, take plugs ad usb cables as they are allowed on the ship and are easily portably. Depending on which itinerary you have (for this case `I`ll assume its Caribbean) bring sun cream, sun hat as well as mosquito repellent wrist/ankle bands (like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Body-Source-Repellent-Citronella-Lemongrass/dp/B01ERF2FW4/ref=asc_df_B01ERF2FW4/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=214318306971&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1672378014627312372&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045532&hvtargid=pla-421643197171&psc=1) Also don't bring big lighters, matches, hot plates, irons and other fire hazards

And that says it all. Go you!

We did Western Med from Southampton last summer and loved it! Not sure what other ports you have but if you're in Livorno and want to visit Florence, I'd recommend doing an RC excursion for peace of mind due to the distance and notoriously bad traffic and also for Monaco. That's not so far from the port of Ville Franche but it is along asingle carriageway coastal road that can also be extremely busy. Our RC excursion was delayed getting back due to heavy traffic and didn't get back until past the advertised time for the last tender boat. It wasn't a problem though and the guide reassured us that they'd keep running the tenders until we were all back onboard. If you share your other ports I'd be happy to let you know tips for any I've been to.

Sarafina's bakery in Marigot is amazing for presentation, food quality and even price.

Our is at home in the safe. We don't take them on vacation! ? They cried when we locked them up.

Personally, I never go anywhere w/o my Rolex.

My wife has a simple plain wedding band to wear whenever we travel internationally. Her ring is insured of course, but she just doesn't want to risk losing it while on vacation.

I have booked thru the RC website and never had any problems. We did schedule thru Next Cruise also, just because we were on a cruise and the lower deposit appealed to us to be able to book right away. But I've done literally everything else myself.

These sites and others like it are notorious for misinformation. If you believe this site then Radiance is also for sale. https://commercial.apolloduck.com/boat/commercial-vessels-cruise-ship/567275 Yet they are refreshing Radiance in 2020 and sending her to Brisbane after that and into 2021. And Brilliance is listed: https://commercial.apolloduck.com/boat/commercial-vessels-cruise-ship/567278 And Rhapsody https://commercial.apolloduck.com/boat/commercial-vessels-cruise-ship/567286 And Celebrity Millennium (that they just millions on) https://commercial.apolloduck.com/boat/commercial-vessels-cruise-ship/564010

You will be fine. Now there might be some ports that you might not want to wear it ashore at. Then just lock it in the room safe. Then again if you have it insured, as you should, then wear it where ever you want. There are people that travel with lots of watches and jewelry. Just make sure you have it properly insured and enjoy it.

If you ever go to Bermuda, take the ferry to St. George's and wander through the central downtown area with all the craft stores. There is one that specializes in sea glass, sign clearly marking the place set on the street as you walk down; the store itself is set back a bit after you climb a set of stairs, and the entrance is rather nondescript. Lots of really pretty stuff there, and the pieces used for the earrings are carefully selected by the owner to match as closely as possible in shape and color. Owner is the stereotypical sweet little old lady, has lived in Bermuda her whole life and her daughter co-owns the store and makes much of the art. Your girlfriend would probably have a blast visiting there and chatting with them / talking shop.

After seeing everyone's prices go wild for the cabanas I bought our thrill park cabana for our January cruise at $520 which is up $21 from when we originally booked our cruise. I was afraid of them selling out or going up out of reach.

I don't have a Rolex or anything, but I do have some nice items I enjoy. I wear my nice jewelry when I'm on the ship. On shore days, it stays locked in the safe.

Ah, Labadee ... here's ya'll some more random pictures from there ... This pineapple drink, I think, is a waste of money ... It can leak and there isn't much in it This is part of the main beach for everyone. The lounge chairs seem to be first come first serve. You may have to rent the covered ones - not sure about those.

San Juan - go get you a Paleta from Senor Paleta. All fruit popsicle ... don't ask me where it was, hidden on one of the side streets in a tiny shop. Think of it as part of your scavenger hunt - lol

Yeah, don't try and snorkel in Bermuda at Horseshoe bay ... it doesn't work. The waves will make sure you can't .... Oh yeah, careful, because the rip-tide will try and pull you back out.

Order the burger at Jamie's ... it was actually really good. The other thing there, yeah, that wasn't mine - lol

The cupcake class is held in the La Pastarieasieousdfoiuraa (see, still can't spell it). We just called it 'Starbucks'.

Hello @Jaymac Radio. @CFL is correct. If you happen to catch the refreshment package at a price that you like, you can also get that without anyone else needing to.

After breakfast and some pool time, we took an Uber to the port. Unfortunately, we ran into an event (some type of triathalon), so the trip took much longer than anticipated. We are staying in 1758 which qualifies as Star Class. We arrived relatively early (about 11:30). We had no problem finding the Star Class flag and the attendant with the flag. It took the Star Class person a bit of time to find a porter to help, but once she tracked one down, we were whisked away (with luggage) to a private lounge area. We were offered a nice place to sit, and one of the genies came over and took our passports. After a couple of minutes, he returned with our boarding cards and we boarded the ship, luggage and all. Although early, our room was prepared and beautifully set up with birthday decorations and a birthday cake for my husband. From the time we arrived at the terminal to arriving in our cabin with our luggage took no more than 15 minutes. Back up -- we were the Allure going to Nassau, Roatan, Costa Maya, and Cozumel. Sorry about the lack of upfront information! Before we left, I had exchanged several emails with our genie, Alan. I let him know which shows we wanted to see (my son is a theater kid, and wanted to see Mama Mia all three times!), our food likes and dislikes, and our general schedule. I also let him know it was my husband's birthday. We really enjoyed all of the work that Alan put into making our cruise perfect for us, as I will try to detail as we go through the trip. We first met Alan when we got to our cabin. He greated us effusively and let us know everything going on for the day. We asked for a lunch recommendation, and he recommended Coastal Kitchen. As we had a big breakfast and planned for dinner at Chops, we decided to have a light lunch and CK was perfect! In addition, we had so much food in our room when we arrived, we did not really need lunch at all! Alan also explained the entertainment schedule for the week, and set up spa appointments. The cabin attendant, Marco, came and explained how to use the room. There were many buttons and switches that controlled the lights, curtains, and shades. He also explained how to use the hot tub on the balcony (use there was a hot tub, and we used it!) The hot tub was an amenity we were not expecting, so that was a great surprise. We stayed in cabin 1758 which is next to CK, and it was a simply spectacular cabin. It offers an entirely separate bedroom with a door separating the bedroom from the living area, two bathroom areas, a huge amount of storage space, floor to ceiling windows, and an expansive balcony. We were just astonished by the cabin, and ended up spending as much time as we could in it. I far preferred sitting on the cabin balcony to sitting at the pool. I could feel like I was alone on my own ship as opposed to sharing it with 6000 other people! After eating and getting oriented, we spent some time outside before the muster. Our son took advantage of the zip line several times as well as the flowrider before it got too busy. We also played mini golf, which for some reason was empty. After the muster, we just relaxed and unpacked until a fabulous dinner at Chops and then Mama Mia. At Chops, we enjoyed the filet and lobster. I know some do not like Chops. I love it, and I am not much of a meat person. To me, they did a great job with the lobster and sides, and provided top-notch service. The Mama Mia case was excellent, and we go to many shows. Honestly, the cast on the ship rivaled many I have seen in LA. We later learned that it was that cast's last cruise on their contraperhaps they did a spectacular job the last week? Regardless, the show was great.

I'm fairly certain that at least 93% of Darwin Award winners do not know who Darwin is. (Why 93%? I don't know, an odd number makes it sound more official.)

It's an "efficient" shower. Just don't drop the soap...

You ever wonder how to start a summary? Trying to figure out just how to write out your experiences, how to try and accomplish multiple goals? Not only are you trying to engage an audience in your real-virtual-interactive story, but you are also creating a memory of your adventure. It's amazing what writing down or typing your experiences can do for you. I have had a blast writing this blog and watching as others follow along and being able to interact with them in a semi-real-time setting. It has been a learning lesson for me as I attempted to communicate our experiences with others - while hoping to make it entertaining, so that everyone would want to continue reading. Ok, enough of that sappy stuff ? but had to get that outa the way. Now to try and remember what the heck happened recently, since I didn't write anything down on the actual days. Backing up a couple of days here, the last two days of our trip were seemingly very busy. Both days were at sea, which I really enjoy. However, after snorkeling on Labadee and hanging out in the suite area beach, we sure wish there was a route that would start with Labadee and end with Labadee. But having the final two days be at sea, allowed us to enjoy the ship a little more and also allowed the kids to hang out with the new found friends. I think the kids preferred being on the ship, away from us #LittlePunks Honestly, it's all good - we don't require much, just come and eat dinner with us and say hi every now and then. I swear, there were a couple of days where they woke up late, missed breakfast but got dressed really quick and bolted out the door as fast as they could to meet up with their friends. The next to last day, Thursday, we had the We Will Rock You show at 2:30 followed by the Chef's table at 6:30. I know somewhere back up in this post I said to go see the WWRY show multiple times, and yes, do it. We had all the shows booked early in the cruise, but released all our times thinking it would be easier to have our genie book them all. Yeah, being the planners we are - that sorta backfired on us. Next time - we book our own show time. That way if we really enjoy one of the shows, then we can go back and see it a second time. We would have gone and seen WWRY and Spectra twice - had we seen it towards the start of the cruise. Chef's table. If you like wine, this might be a cool experience for you. They start with a blonde wine and end with a bold red - or at least that's my interpretation. Our meal lasted just over 3 hours. But - it was honestly because of the company of the other guests there. Six of the other guests were all in the royal suite as SC, so we were able to hit it off with them right off the bat. I felt a little bad for the other couple who were at the end of the table that were not really engaging in much of the conversation. Now granted, it's a long table we were sitting at …. There were six people on each side of the table. Kinda hard to lean forward and holla at the person at the other end of the table. The food was just ok. It felt like just a little better presented version of different foods from all the different restaurants. We already had all of it before. The rest of the day was just lounging around and playing down in the casino. At least we won a little bit on Thursday to have some extra play money for Friday. Friday - sad day. Most of the morning was spent packing up, oh yeah guess what … yeah, #LittlePunks bolted. Oh well, we would do the same thing at their age. Our packing goal was to have about 75% of everything packed, most of the room clean (yes, we keep our room pretty clean and picked up), all persons have a shower and all drawers emptied. That way, the next morning all we have to do is pack up the final toiletries and pj's. This allows us to not be all stressed getting off the ship, which has been stressful in the past. We took a break in the middle of the morning go to take a quick tour of the Control Room. Yen got us a couple of spots to tag along with the all access tour. Yes, I said couple because the kids had 'other plans' #CuteBoys #Games If you haven't done a control room tour, it is really interesting. Honestly, for me it was just cool to be able to see stuff that I've watched on tv. I've seen how the Anthem was built on the science channel multiple times … What, you don't have shows you like to watch multiple times? #DontJudge After a quick lunch break, up in our favorite place the CK, we took off a quick bridge tour. Um, yeah, so there were only 5 of us … we counted for two. The kids were #TooBusy to hang with us and go on the tour. Was still fun even though we had done the same thing on Oasis a couple years ago. After the tour, it was back to finishing up packing a little bit. We did a little bit of quick shopping for a t-shirt or two, but didn't really see any RCL stuff that we wanted. Usually, there is a couple of cool trinket type things we like to pick up, yeah, not here. There was a little casino playing involved that entertained us for a little bit. But then, guess what … yup #TimeToEat. It almost felt like the people on the Wall-E spaceship … wonder around from one place to another, grazing. Hmm … did you hear that cattle call? Ok, ok … I can't say anything about eating so much because it was time to hit the Coastal Kitchen for the last dinner. And you know what that means …. FILET! Yes, I was on a filet-binge this trip after the first night or two, knowing it would awhile before I would enjoy the … sweet … flavorful … tenderness … mmmm … of a filet. Oh, I didn't tell you? Yeah, most of the house enjoys the non-meat version of food. Sure, I can go get some type of meat but last few times I got one of those rotated chickens, I couldn't finish it all. So, yeah … there you go. It was a great filet … I knew what was to follow, however. The #MeatSweat #WildDreams #YouKnowOtherStuff was all on the way, but well worth the sacrifice. We gave the kids a midnight curfew since we had to get up early the next day and get booted, I mean, escorted off the ship. Something about new cruisers come on board shortly thereafter - meh. Back to the casino for another hour or so at a game that we had a lot of fun at. After we regained some of our play money, we wandered up the Brass and Bock to catch up with the other family we had met at Chef's table. We hung out with them for a little bit, ordered some fried pickles and sat out near Sorento's to people watch. It was hard thinking it was closing in on midnight and we needed to get to bed before the chaos of leaving the next day. Saturday - #GetOffMyShip We had set the latest disembarkation we could at 9:30. Up at 7 to get our coffee and stumble down to the La Pastatier (I still can't spell it) to grab some of those bags of goodies. It wasn't until almost the last day before we found out those were included. Now we know - now ya'll know. The Coastal was open for breakfast, so we went up there to say bye the gang who took amazing care of us. We left out primary server a thank you card and a few dollars. Back up to the room to wait out the remaining time. The kids were waking up and still groggy after partying hard the previous night. Yen came and got us at 9:30 and walked us off the ship and down through customs. Everything went pretty smooth until we got outside and then we were shuffled into the rest of the crowd hunting rides home. #NoMoreSC ? We booked a Lyft ride to airport for about $28 bucks or so. Took him about 20 minutes to get to us after booking on our phone. The ride back to the airport was fairly quick, even though the Lyft driver was fairly new and missed our turn to the zone for the Southwest flights. No worries, we helped him navigate all the way back around to get to our terminal. We checked in and ditched our luggage and headed to the departure gate. Security was a little of a pain, since there was only one point where they funneled everyone through. #WishWeHadAYen Our flight wasn't scheduled to leave until about 2:15 and it was just after 11 when we got all through security and to the gate. We grabbed a little bite to try and waste some time, then went and found us a seat. I think all of us zoned out and put in our earbuds to listen to stuff on our phones. About an hour before we were supposed to leave, they came over the speaker and said the airport was shut down and flights delayed for an hour or two. Sigh … more time to wait at the airport. Well, come to find out, a United plane had a flat tire and went off the runway. Noone was hurt and things were ok, they just needed a couple of cranes and a can of fix-o-flat. Our delay turned out to be almost 6 additional hours we were not expecting. We finally boarded right around 7pm - ugh. Finally, decent flight and watched a movie to pass the time. Next thing we knew, we were touching down in Nashville. Ah, finally home. #Exhausted Thank you for following along on our journey. I took almost 1,000 pictures during the entire cruise that now need culling and figuring out how to organize them. I've posted quite a few along our adventure here that hopefully will help others out on their future Anthem cruise. There are a few more that I'm going to post in a random post over the next couple of days. If there are any questions about our cruise or pictures you might be looking for, just let me know. You can either reply to this blog or send me a DM. Once again, thanks to everyone for making this a great first time blogging experience! I look forward to our next cruise and my next major blog - Harmony May 31, 2020 Thanks! John and Carrie Hobby

My husband and I got these for the cruise we were just on. The card was easy to get out and we used them as our wallets when on shore. They worked great! They are RFID blocking so you have to take them out to open the door but that feature protects your credit cards while on shore.

Actually, I think the old Portofinos was the best of them all but those have been gone for years. Too bad really
