Thank you for this blog! I am really enjoying it and every time I read an Anthem blog I learn something new!

You know, I would be much more understanding and accepting of these issues if I received any communication regarding the issues and timeline. Instead, I continue to get emails telling me there is a sale and I should book another cruise. Just one little email, “ we are experiencing difficulties and please accept our apologies. We expect this issue to be resolved no later than than March....”

I know I saw a post another day that someone could print their documents I thought around day 40? I am 35 days out and I looked today. It says I will get an email when I can print everything. Would that include luggage tags? Can I do online check in now?

Thanks! That link works and I can see my cruise and everything I booked is there!

Unfortunately when I do that on the new site it says I do not have a reservation.

Last night I started looking for information. I ended up on Twitter and sent a PM. First I was told the issues only affected “a small number of people” but they could not say when it would work. I focused on the fact that there was no warning and I can not find any information shared by the company to address concerns. As someone with a cruise in 35 days I am very concerned when RCL says I do not have a reservation. After a number of messages back and forth they asked me my reservation number. At 8:14pm they told me to “hold on” while they checked. That was my last response. I didn’t think they would make me feel worse but they did. i am thankful to all of you and your tricks to get into the new website.

How did you locate your cruise? It is telling me that my reservation does not exist?

This is great info. I have not booked any speciality dining on my Anthem cruise since it is my first cruise. I have been tempted to book a lunch but I think I will just wait. I really don’t need it, but maybe I want it.....

I contacted a MEI agent directly that was referred to me through another group I am in. I contracted her in February 2017 for my April 2018 cruise. She has forwarded me info when the Ultimate dining offering became available and she applied discounts four different times. The last one saved me $300. I never had to ask her to check. Do any agents charge?

Ok- I am lost. Your genie booked the escape room?

Have a great cruise! Can I ask you all the qustions I forgot to ask @twangster? Can you tell me if you see information on booking the escape room? Also, are you eating in the MDR? Can you post pictures of menus? Are they the same cruise to cruise? Thanks and enjoy!

As a first time cruiser I think this could be very confusing. The paid offering is listed as an “activity” in my cruise planner. My free option is entertainment.

How do you get all those pictures ( thank you!) without having anyone else in them?Is the Windjammer empty?

It is showing for my April Anthem cruise too. I already have free tickets.

I have to admit that I now see your food pictures in my dreams.

Is this common all year round? I am learning so much from your trip reports! Is this a winter issue or should I expect this could happen in April too?

Thanks, you are helping me manage my expectations!

Does that mean if you have the 8:15 seating for dinner there would be no way to see it?

Thank you!

I have been reading conflicting information. If I have a bungalow will I need to get in line and get a tender ticket? Does everyone in your party have to be there? You have taught me so much with thes posts- thanks!

I cannot wait to follow along! Thank you!

Thanks for the welcome and I have followed @twangster 's blog! I think it may be the main reason I am now counting down the days until my cruise.

@twangster, I am a newbie planning my first cruise on the Anthem. Your blog has taught me so much and your photos are beautiful! Thank you!

Hello! I have been reading so many posts here but I have never introduced myself. I am Mary and I will be taking my first cruise in April on the Anthem. I live in Massachusetts, so I am looking forward to being able to drive to the port. I have learned so much reading your post but there is so much I still do not know! This forum is my first non-Disney post!

I just booked the deluxe package for $41 for my April Anthem sailing.
