Disclaimer!!! I am not an expert but it does say "For restaurants with a la carte pricing, you’ll receive a $35 food credit.*" so I would think to include Izumi. I saw the same price for Symphony different sailing thought. I guess $152 pp is an OK price I think. I only have 2 sea days though for lunch.

I just came back from Anthem this afternoon. We cannot book North star and i-Fly online either but be able to book all the shows online. When you board the ship there are many tablets to use for reserving your activity or you can do on Royal IQ when you board. I downloaded Royal IQ ahead of time. I really easy to use and work most of the time. IMO Dining room food is not good but Solarium Bistro is excellent. Suggest booking activities early for day1-4 of 7 days cruise because sometimes it will be cancel if weather bad so you still have time to reschedule it. We got canceled on the "We will rock you" and i-Fly day 6 of 7 days cruise. They reschedule the next day for "we will rock you" but i-fly you really have to work hard to get on the flight. We lucky enough to know one of the activity guys, he is an instructor for i-Fly. He reserved 3 of us to one of the last 2 flights of this trip. Don't miss i-Fly if you can do it, it is the best experience ever. We have a blast. Service is excellent but the food not so much, however, we managed to find solarium bistro that we love.

No extra charge for milkshake on Anthem OTS.

At sea on Anthem OTS not good Internet. Anyone see good cruise for leaving April 13 or 14 . I can book onboard. A little bit rockys seaday today on Anthem OTS. Everything cancel. Our I-Fly and we will rock you cancel. Even internet is wonky.

Oh I dock next to you at Nassau.totally forgot it. I might be on the North Star when you took that photo of Anthem.

Just to confirm again. You don't need to buy anything longer you have refreshment or deluxe package you can get your milkshake. From Anthem OTC live.

No need to buy anything. Only need to have either refreshment or deluxe package

I am on Anthem and CONFIRMATION !!!! Johnny Rocket Drinks includes with Deluxe and Refreshment Drink packages. Happy dance ?

Thank you @twangster I get used to the baby camera like Nikon Coolpix so this Sony feel like a lot to learn.

Ping @twangster

Hi guys, My cruise is tomorrow and I still not pack and still have to work today. I will try to explain shortly what I can. I just got a new camera Sony a6000 Mirrorless. It is an upgrade from what I normally use Nikon Coolpix which not much setting need. The camera itself has great reviews, however, I will need to know how to set it. No matter what how great cameras are if I do not know how to use it then pointless. Anyhow, I need a shortcut to help from everyone here that know how to set the camera. I think the basic of setting still be similar even though not the same brand. I do not have time to read a user manual because a lot of work had to be done. I own an online handmade gift shop and this is the busiest time. My cruise is tomorrow on Anthem OTS and not even pack yet, probably will pack tonight. I got no choice only can go during the holiday and summer because of my son school schedule. I try to do everything from taking care of my son, cooking, cleaning and run a business but it is hard. Anyway, I need help. My question is below. How to set the camera for - low light setting (indoor) - landscape setting (outdoor) - moving object setting (wildlife or kids playing.) - portrait setting - performance setting ( show on the cruise)

I use RC Visa card. Personally, I don't think a great deal with just a 1% reward point for each $1spend but I am too lazy to get the new card from other company. LOL @WAAAYTOOO $20K per cruise that is my whole year budget for my vacations. No wonder RCI give you all kinds of free cruise vouchers.

Thanks, @betatke1480 for the info and glad you got taking care of the CK problem. That is a great price for 3 you got. My upcoming Anthem OTS this weekend, we paid $3200 for a balcony for me, hubby and my son (6 yrs old). No other offer. Problem for me is to the school schedule and never got any good price. I only can go during holiday or summer which price is really high. Tell the truth I feel guilty if I just book for me and hubby and not take my son so my son always goes with us everywhere. What is the TA you use for booking your cruise?

Thanks, @JLMoran for the info. Forgot to asked what is the TA you use?

This will upset me too. The price of JS is almost double of Balcony. I was planning to book JS cruise for me and hubby anniversary. For this much trouble you got I will pass. I suggest to go to Royal Caribbean facebook page and message them. It seems to work faster for us in the past when we had a problem even we were on the cruise. Leave a message with your name and cabin #. The guest service will contact you real quick. Hope it helps

That was I think too. I hope bumper cars open on day 1 because I know will be a long line later. We only get refreshment drink package but all 5 of us is Diamond members so should get some drink in the evening (except my 6 years old). I am a coffee drinker and sparkling water lover so refreshment drink package is a must for me. The last cruise I got my husband a deluxe drink package, he was really enjoying it but this time we will pass it. 2 cabins we will take 4 bottles of wine with us so that should be a little drinking during the day for us. If drink card offer early then I will buy it. No dining package offer on my sailing because of a holiday. Boo to RCI ? Thinking to order Filet in a dining room or Solarium Bistro.

Thank you both @firebuck & @JLMoran for the info. I am thinking to leave home at 6 am. Google said it will take 3 hours but after the stops will be 4-4:30 hours for sure. It will be me, hubby, son, mother in law and father in law so I am sure will be a few stops along the way there. I will try my best to be there early as possible because I cannot book Northstar and i-fly online so I will need to book when I onboard. Thanks again for both of you.

So nothing new will be open for me next week ?

@firebuck I have questions. My cruise will be this Saturday. We will drive to the port from Maryland so that will possibly take us 4-4:30 hours to be there (includes stop for restroom and breakfast). We will park our car there also. I cruised there before with Explorer OTS but it was a long time ago so not sure anything changes. We try to figure out what time we should leave our home. Does the traffic bad to get into the port? What time do they let you get into the port? What time do they let you onboard the ship? TY for your answer.

They sent me as well. It will not offer for holidays cruise. I wish just don't send me when it is not really offered on my cruise. No dining package then they don't get my money.

I will test it. If I remember, I will report back.

So I can get breakfast at Johnny Rockets? and I can get a milkshake at Johnny Rockets if I got refreshment drink package? Can anyone confirm it? I will be on Anthem in 11 days.

Hope you feel better. ? LOL Book another cruise.

Thank you for the info. ?

Thanks, I still search for a cruise for April so that great news for me.
