All you need to know is from this paragraph (not that anyone reads that far down)

Glad to hear you saved money on that waterpark admission!

My April and Alaska cruises are still there

If you take advantage of the Cruise with Confidence program, you get 100% back in a Future Cruise Credit, not a refund.

I'd say if you booked purely for the amplification, then changing to Odyssey might not be a bad idea. While I don't think there's anything wrong with Explorer in her current form, I do recognize it's better to have the updates and changes.

I've had good luck with GTY rooms. I'm also not overly concerned about the room's location, whereas some people (i.e. my parents) need to ensure the room is located exactly where they want to be located.

Royal Caribbean hasn't announced any changes like that coming to Anthem, yet.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear of a new test added down the road, or at least another check of some kind. They were adding temperature checks prior to the shutdown.

Magic! Seriously, they just shove the two beds together. Never had an issue with a gap forming. Perhaps the mattresses are joined together. I'll defer to @Lovetocruise2002 because she inspects her stateroom like she is in an episode of CSI.

Hi everyone, I know we get heated debating which dessert is the best one to order, or if a balcony room is worth it, but let's keep these basic rules in mind when chatting here. No profanity No personal insults No political discussion No debating religion A good joke about Canada, is always welcome.

September is a great time of year because of the lower crowds and lower prices.

@deep1 Thanks for sharing this. Where do you typically operate out of?

Not having to cook is always top of my list, but I really enjoy the escapism of a cruise. It really does help me feel disconnected from the world at large (primarily the news).

You really do not get much of a temperature shift in the Southern Caribbean year-round, so yes, it will be warm enough to swim in December (or any month).

Will anyone use their stimulus check to book a cruise? Or maybe splurge for something like a cabana?
