Our first cruise with Royal was sailing the Mediterranean for 12-days on the Brilliance in October 2004. It was amazing. Can't wait to read your blog and see your pics. Might be motivated to try her again.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered a thousand times. Sorry.
We just decided to book a future cruise when we're on board the Anthem next week. We understand the deposit will be lower than normal, but are we able to book a refundable trip or must it be non-refundable? TIA

Thank you, Sabrina. I felt like I was cruising with you. Great job. Safe travels home.

Booking a cruise on Anthem of the Seas for January 6, 2019. We sailed on Royal twice previously, the last time in 2009. After cruising 12x on other lines (which we did enjoy), we're coming back to Royal, my hubby's fave. This blog has been helpful and fun. You're amazing people. So excited to sail on Sunday ... 5 days !!!

Loving your blog. Enjoy the New Year's Eve festivities.

Following along and thoroughly enjoying your posts. Thank you for taking the time to share. Happy New Year.

So you are the one kicking us off the cruise. We are on the New Year's cruise.
Best way to ring in the New Year is on a cruise. Have fun.

@Lovetocruise2002 Wishing you and your family an amazing cruise and a Happy New Year. Nothing like togetherness :) I'll be happily following as we get ready for our Anthem cruise on January 6th. Gail

I hope the government will reopen well before the fourth week in January, as the shutdown causes adverse consequences on your sister and hundreds of thousands of other government workers. Thinking good thoughts that the insurance will not have to be used and, if it does, that it will come through.

What would be the guesstimated deposit for a 12 day booked at the Future Cruise desk? TIA

Congratulations on a great trivia win!
On the second point, those would be the PIT (Pinnacle In Training a.k.a. Diamond Plus) and Pinnacles. If they can't find something to complain about, they'll create something to complain about. Having just done the Snowbird Migration cruise that was also a top heavy, I've grown an immunization to it.
On Adventure in an elevator a few weeks ago - "This is the worst cruise ever!", "We had to wait 8 minutes in the terminal!". Hmmm, I'm thinking this is one of the better cruises I've done and an eight minute wait? Seriously?
As a born and bred New Yorker who lived in Florida for almost 30 years before retiring back north to Connecticut, I'm very familiar with the snowbird migration during "season," but don't know about a snowbird migration cruise. Care to illuminate? BTW - did you know that the official bird of Florida is the Early Bird?

Can't thank you enough. Loved all of it.

What is your itinerary? 7 days? Example My cruise was 8 nights and the night 7 was a second formal night which was the lobster. I think the lobster night menu was good in MDR and taste good. I wish I take pictures of the menu. So if you have a second formal night that will be the night that they serve lobster.
12 nights out of Bayonne. I think we'll be in Jamie's the first formal night but we'll definitely catch the second for the lobster.

I don't think you will have a problem with the entertainment reservations. Normally the shows are not filled up and easy to find the seat. You can still reserve when you onboard. When you get onboard walk into the ship, there are stations fill with tablets that you can reserve whatever you need but you need your Seapass card or the band to get it to work. You also can use Royal IQ apps to reserve everything. Just make sure download the apps to your phone before you are on the ship.
IMHO MDR foods were not good but the Solarium Bistro foods were excellent so I will suggest checking Solarium Bistro for dinner. You will need a reservation for Solarium Bistro though.
Thank you. We have the three nights specialty dining package and two nights reserved in the Solarium Bistro. We'll wing the rest. Thanks again.

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.
Not happy to hear the food wasn't up to par.

We sail on the Anthem, January 6 - 38 days - we booked activities but cannot book entertainment or couples spa pass or Escape Room. What's the holdup?

We got ours today for the Anthem 12-night sailing out of Cape Liberty on January 6, 2019. To even be considered for a Junior Suite, we would have to bid at least $500 pp (min bid is $250 pp which won't get us anywhere). We already have a balcony stateroom in a location we like, so upgrading to a Junior Suite makes no sense because there are two days out and two days back that are going to be cold. If we were in the Med or sailing from Florida or San Juan, we would consider it.

These pictures and your comments are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing and for the time you put into this. It looks like you had an awesome time. Belated birthday wishes.

No UDP sale for January 6, 2019 Anthem sailing. Still at $288 pp. Maybe tomorrow.

We're cruising January 6, and still no Thermal Couples Passes. Don't know what the problem could be.

Late to the show. Is Vintages included in the Deluxe Drink Package? Thank you.

I messaged RCCL asking who the CD and AM will be on Anthem's sailing tomorrow, January 6. They said Tanya Yates (Tornado Tanya) will be the CD and Dennis (Sciorino) Charles will be the AM. Isn't he a CD also?
