I look online and just pick only Oasis for 2019 - Apr 2020. I saw the Oct is no sailing to part of Nov so I think the dry dock starting in Oct then end in Nov.

Thank you. I look at the RCL website and look like scheduled to dry dock on October. I will be on Anthem OTC during Black Friday so might book while I onboard for next year.

I do want the slides somewhere on the ship but not necessary to be the Abyss. Skypad not really care about it. I wish I know what they will revamp on the ship and when it will finish so I can plan to book my cruise.

I was thinking of taking my picture for the pass. Now I just leave it blank then.

I just put the packing tape over it and cut to size. It strong likes it laminate.

@twangster Thank you for the info. No wonder your pictures look like a postcard. It is a little pricey but it well worth it. LOL, I still have my ancient 6 years old Nikkon and my phone(newer than my camera). Thinking to get a new camera but might be in the $500 though not a $1000. Just booked MSC Seaside for summer and plan to book a cruise for Easter so will see how much $$ I can spend. Enjoy the less of your trip.

Hope your day gets better.

Enjoy your blog. I cruised New England & Canada cruise 8 years ago. It really nice to see all these pictures and bring back my memories. By the way, your pictures are so great. If you won't mind what is the camera you use?

Thank you to confirm this. I hear a lot about this famous Kummelweck sandwich on Anthem. Where I can get it on Anthem? At cafe 270?

@ellcee I don't know this is your SOLO cruise. I always said to my husband and son that my truly vacay will be by myself somewhere. LOL, this gives me an idea but not sure will ever happen. Let see how their reaction when I ask them " Can I take a solo cruise?". Be safe and have fun on your trip. Post some pictures. I will be on Anthem in 5 weeks.

So True. Life's short just have fun. Don't worry be happy.

Enjoy the cruise. I will be on Anthem in 35 days. ?

@JLMoran Do you use Casino Royale to book your cruise? How you do that email them or call?

Thank you for the info of the Amped date. I am thinking of booking it for April sailing. ?

Thanks @Matt Friday link. RCCL probably does Black Friday again this year but I will be on Anthem OTS during Black Friday. I kind of wait for the Black Friday sale to book Cruise for April (Easter 2019) so might need to go to the next cruise to book when I onboard. Does it normally start on Black Friday or a week ahead? LOL I wish spooky sale or something come out like Black Friday 30% off. If I can get 30% off everything I will change Refreshment to deluxe dring package in a heartbeat.

I got a Refreshment package for $18/day/person for both me and my hubby and I think that is the best you can get. However, the VOOM Surf + STREAM had never been lower than $15.99 ? My sailing is 11/17 (36 days) not sure can get lower or not. Does RCL ever do Halloween sale? ?

My vote is for the Mediterranean cruise. Beautiful architecture building and landscape. However, if you are an adventure type of people Alaska might be better.

Sorry, you have to purchase for the whole cruise. Cannot buy only 1 days :(

This link is from 2016 and calls Izumi express that means you order for to go https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2016/05/26/review-izumi-express-sushi-the-go Not sure still do it or not.

The price of my booking always high because of school schedules. Yes, I got seasick 2 days on my last cruise with Grandeur. I got medicine from the guest service. The med works but it will make me sleepy so the refreshment drink package helps a lot. I kept drinking coffees or coke the whole day( pumping my caffeine intake). So that is my trick.

Below is the price of 2 adults and 1 child 6 years old for Lady G inside sailing 4/18 - 4/25 to Bermuda. said $589 per person inside on Rc website. It is a OK price but I don't think it cheap. $2,913.00 3 Guests Deck 4 Room 4519 Edit View Summary Guest 1 Cruise Fare $1,164.00 Taxes & Fees $191.19 Guest 2 Cruise Fare $1,164.00 Taxes & Fees $191.19 Guest 3 Cruise Fare $585.00 Taxes & Fees $191.19 Discounts & Credits Flash Sale $50.00 BOGO NO REF DEP $1,096.00 Average cost per person $780.19 TOTAL $2,340.57 Minimum Deposit $750.00

LOL, I had never seen the price you said and I only can say from what I paid and it is not cheap (some of them is inside). It might be the time I sailed is the demanded time because I have a child so most of the time during school close. Example, Easter, Thanksgiving or other holidays. I guess I just drive to NJ/NY for the cruise only 4 hours I can handle that. I still possible occasional cruise from MD if the price is right.

@JLMoranYou are correct. Even they bring Radiance class ship to MD, It doesn't solve the problem for me. They might still get my money to check it out for 1 trip since it newer than Lady G. If they revamp Radiance class or at least put some slide on it that would be nice.

I feel the same way, I don't think Grandeur cheaper than other ship in my opinion but might be someone else that think it cheaper a better shopper better than me. I had never got any deal on it. If they get rid of Grandeur and not replace it then it is their loss. By the way, 5 cruises on Grandeur had never seen it empty.

Does anyone have a link of Grandeur OTC fan page?
