There is an area around the outside of the pool deck that is covered,

Just coming off the Anthem, the Suite/Concierge lounge and the Diamond lounge both worked a little differently from each other, but neither swiped my card that I remember. I did employ the above tactic and talk to the Diamond Concierge and Suite Concierge the first time I entered each lounge. The Concierge lounge definitely had much better service on a nightly bases than the Diamond lounge, and neither was over busy in the 6-7pm range.

Use Downy wrinkle release spray, work wonders on shirts, pants, dresses and suite coast. The idea of steaming in the bathroom also works.

Did the cruise on a Princess ship many years ago and would highly recommend taking the cruise, so far in my life it has been a once in a lifetime trip that I hope to repeat if possible.

Windjammer (The buffet on board) always has a bar open for drinks during breakfast times, mostly I see bloody Mary's and other morning alcoholic drinks.

My wife is a weather watcher and she follows Vanfleet.

Love Buc'ees when I'm driving through Texas. When we drive down to Galveston for a cruise we have a minimum of 2 that we stop at. Who wouldn't love 120 gas pumps and bathrooms as large as most other gas stations.

I was told by the Head waiter at Coastal Kitchen that they use Amazon all of the time, they have it shipped to their home port, then pick it up when the ship docks again. So Amazon gift cards should be a really good idea.

This has just become habit for me now, I will switch several times from cell to iPad and back, I've just gotten used to doing the logoff.com, and then login on the other device.

The seats that @Lovetocruise2002 is referring to were not in the balcony but directly behind the sound mixer board, sort of up a half level, I had made reservations but was also in a suite and got there 20 minutes before the show with no issues, but my wife and I had to become the seat police and help the poor little girl that was trying to keep the reserved seats reserved, people were getting very rude with her. I would highly recommend this show, it is by far one of the best production shows I've seen on a Royal ship, the lead male singer on Anthem di a pretty good job of imitating Freddie Mercury.

Of the 18 cruises I have been on I have never seen or heard of this before, I'm sure it happens and yes I'm sure it's a hassle for everyone. I've just never seen it before, but my wife was following the Anthem Facebook group which is where it was posted. I'm sure the people that had camped out and gotten the "Perfect lounge chairs" were pissed off.

Not that I've found, I still use Ship Mate for mine.

I agree with @twangster I have seen the adults miss behave (Later in the day after many, many drinks) more than I have the older teens. Just got off the Anthem GC, and they had to close and pump out the main pool twice during the nine days because an adult had thrown up in the pool.

If the people in the Grand also purchased the Key then it is basically redundant of the features with the Suite. I would cancel and get my money back. For the Junior Suite the Key is beneficial.

Always #1 to our family.

Day 4 at 11am in the Theater. As @Lovetocruise2002 said it conflicted with a cabin crawl we had so I did not go either.

Bring them on, I can take it, if I can corral 11 8yr on a baseball field, I can take 3 on with no problem, wait, by 2021 older DD will be 14? That's a tough age, my DW can handle it though, lol.

DW wife and I are on, deck 17, can't wait. @Lovetocruise2002 thanks for starting this thread. @WAAAYTOOO glad you will be on board, can't wait to meet.

Until you get your feet wet with cruising I would stay with this philosophy, it just gives you a little added comfort. I took a 10 year hiatus from cruising (Raising a family) but when I came back I booked everything through Royal for the 1st 2 cruises, then branched back out.

Took one similar to this and got called to the naughty room for it. As everyone says, no it will not be allowed.

Our plane boards at 6:08am tomorrow morning, I'm an early riser but, aghhhh.

This is a semi live blog, go to page 5 for San Juan, @spiralqueen did an excellent job of documenting their way through Old San Juan, so you might Google Map the suggestions and map them out from your Air BNB. One if not both of the forts are also a recommendation. I will be in Old San Juan in a couple of days and plan on hitting up the Chocolate restaurant and the Spice Shop. Hope this helps.

I remembered a similar picture and thought of it when I read the heading. I left Oklahoma on a trip in December to Calgary, I had packed my coat because it was 80 in Oklahoma, quickly dug it out in Calgary when there was 6" of snow on the ground.

No, as @Matt says I'm high rolling in First class, so we just check them all.

Yes I do, so much abuse towards a Canadian Scorpio (I'm leaving off the stubborn, we are just intense).
