The "sales" mean very little. Most of the time when you check your prices during a sale you will see they are the same as when there is no sale. And sometimes there are random price drops that appear when no sale is running and those sometimes stay there for a few days and sometimes are gone in a few hours. I generally check my prices once a day during my morning coffee break. It only takes a couple of minutes and it's always fun to see if I can catch a bargain!

Absolutely agree with @KristiZ. As well as the second bathroom, there's also the added privacy for when you want some adult time.

Brilliant start. Looking forward to more.

Yes, I confirm this! I literally just did precisely this 10 minutes ago for my Anthem cruise on 23 September, which just opened today.

Try the Best Western Plus Oceanside Inn: https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotels-in-fort-lauderdale/best-western-plus-oceanside-inn/propertyCode.10212.html It's not fancy but it's right by the beach, walking distance to a water taxi stop, restaurants, shops, etc. and comes with a very decent included breakfast, as well having both a fridge and a microwave in the room. Sign up for their loyalty programme beforehand for a members' discount. It's a short ride to the port so not costly to get there. We have stayed there twice before and would definitely stay again if we were cruising out of Fort Lauderdale.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat, Joe. What a horrible end to an already disappointing trip.

I can't believe you've been so unlucky @JLMoran! After missing out on the Greenland cruises, now this! Thanks for sharing your experience and fingers crossed the next one will be amazing.

I think you're OK because your final destination is not in the US. But if you were only doing the first two legs, that's where you'd fall foul of the act. @twangster explains it really well.

Too early for that date, but this is a regular itinerary that is repeated several times over the season, so if you have a look at the 4th of September sailing, you will get an idea of what's likely to be on offer. Then it's a case of checking your cruise planner regularly and sooner or later they'll show up.

I'm guessing this might be the Anthem OTS itinerary that calls at Bordeaux, Bilbao, La Coruna and Le Havre? If you are already booked, depending on when you're sailing, the excursions may already be showing in your cruise planner. Otherwise, you can go into the app, select Anthem of the Seas and the September 4 - 11 sailing. Then click on the excursions icon at the bottom and you'll be able to see some of the excursions offered on that particular cruise. Note that potentially not all of the excursions will appear in the app and they may not be exactly the same for other sailings doing the same itinerary, but at least you'll get an idea.

It's in the app. If you're not sure how to get to it just say and we can point you in the right direction

I haven't really been following the thread so apologies in advance for asking, but when is this ship due to come out?

Nope. Still watching and waiting with everything crossed.

Some items will be repeated but they do have a full set of different menus for longer cruises. Take a look at the menus on the current Anthem sailing (22 July to 5 August), which is a 14-night one, and that will give you a rough idea. I wish some of them were more commonly seen on the shorter cruises!

Just tell the driver Odyssey of the Seas. The drivers all know where to go.

C&A balcony discounts are not always combinable with promotional discounts. Sometimes the current promotional discount works out to be more than the C&A balcony discount, in which case the system will apply that and ignore your balcony discount. This might be what is happening in your case.

Yes, Anthem 3rd September 2023 to Norway, someone recently joined the roll call saying it had been offered as an option for their cancelled cruise to Scandinavia on Serenade.

Someone over on CC has just posted that she's been told by the casino line that Brilliance has a sailing out of Vancouver on 11 June and that Enchantment is going to be doing Greek Isles. Obviously, I have no way of knowing how reliable this info is so potentially should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Would be nice to know what's happening for sailings from outside the US. I don't mind being a guinea pig for no testing on longer cruises.

Like this? If so, it's fine. You're good to go. Relax and enjoy your cruise.

Same here. I was very underwhelmed by the promenade on Odyssey.

If you don't get the offers sheet by the end of the 2nd day of your cruise, go and speak to the loyalty ambassador.

Not the same lottery. Mine here is the Euromillions. But that's my plan too! And I can wish you luck since you're not going to win my prize instead of me!

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

Hi and welcome to the boards. We'll be better able to help if you tell us which ship you're booked on.
