I wonder when we can book Icon?...It's gotta be close if she's ready to go in Fall of 2023

Can't wait for daily updates! Looking forward to see how this compares to an ocean balcony ;)

DocLc, Listing my current cruises here to add to the Master list...Thanks! January 31, 2019 - Brilliance of the Seas April 6, 2019 - Anthem of the Seas August 17, 2019 - Adventure of the Seas December 29, 2019 - Freedom of the seas (Group cruise) Thanks! Erin

Hi Stan, I'm on the 8/18 cruise as well. Still looking for a more recent Cruise compass than 2016 for a 5 night Anthem/Bermuda cruise. Hopefully Matt will get one soon and post it on this site. From the buzz I've been hearing, there is currently no "Tribute Band" but I am sure the current bands are terrific! Only 28 more days! ~Erin

May your choice be a "Brilliant" one ?

On Facebook and other platforms I hear the website "should" be working by Monday by people who have spoken w/ Royal. Looking at the current design, it's NOT easy to navigate. It seems with every upgrade they offer less. There was an upgrade about a year ago where before you could see all the "Suite" layouts where as now, they just list the perks of the Royal Suite experience but no actual pictures/layouts. I really hope that this upgrade would bring that back and enhance other things but we will wait and see...

It's all good....remember when Scott Stein defected & tried NCL last month? (haha)

If you want to stay in a group on the Island, you might consider renting a bungalow/Cabana which is near the "Floating Bar"......

Adventure Planner! No surprise there... I've been planning my 2019 B-day cruise for 2 years now.....not a control freak but a paranoid planner ;)

I just thought of this...everyday lingo is related to cruising..even overhearing the following conversation: "Well, in the big SPECTRUM of things, if she's trying to gain some INDEPENDENCE, then spending a month in a rustic CABIN away from the family might be a good thing" Spectrum - A New RC ship Independence - A RC ship Cabin - a Stateroom on a ship I need help.....

Monday morning at work and the first thing my boss asks me is "How many days?"

When cruise lingo becomes part of your everyday language..."The bathroom? Sure! that's located on the port side of the building right after you pass the two cabins (offices) near the buffet"

The real advantage that I've found is is the low deposit fee...while $250-$500 is the minimum it's $100 with next cruise but yes it's non-refundable but at $100, that's a drop in the bucket.

Only 4 booked for me....but the years not over yet!

Being from Boston myself I know exactly what you mean! I usually travel in February/March and always fly into Ft. Lauderdale which is so much cheaper than Miami. Tampa isn't that bad either...I just use expedia and I usually find a great rate but I book at least 7 -months before I cruise. Also Driving to New Jersey & taking Anthem is a much better option as well. Sometimes the Hotels offer daily parking rates which are cheap. I have also just taken the bus to NY (no parking fee) Another thing to consider is the ship itself...Going on Independence soon and since there is so much to do I got an inside cabin with the 50% off deal for around $975. for 2 people! plus the airfare was $211 round trip...no brainer

only going to Cozumel from Ft. Lauderdale.....Thanks! I'm a seasoned cruiser but the more I cruise, the more questions keep coming up! ##stillARookie

I think I know the answer to this question already but here goes. Going on a cruise in 78 days ..all our passports are up to date but one passport expires 7/21/2018 less than 6 months from the cruise date which is 3/1/18. Some websites tell you to have an updated passport with At least 6 months inbetween sail date from expiration but I think it's a suggestion more than a rule...

I'm bummed I ca't make this one...I have 2 Anthem cruises already booked however I am doing the Group Freedom cruise in 2019!

When I refer to NCL's steakhouse as "Chop's" instead of "Cagney's...then they correct me and I reply "Like it Matters" (haha)

Yes, I'm seeing that but I only saw 2 changes before where now I'm seeing 3...could be the release of 2019 cruises to update the ship ;)

Was wondering when Anthem is scheduled for a refurbish or upgrade.... The Deck plans change in April of 2019 on the Website and it makes me a bit nervous since that's when I have my B-D cruise. Perhaps I should invest in Insurance for this one.

you would think! It's more of a case of if the wife can actually get the time off....that or he really hates his wife!

I have a travel agent...no worries
