We sail from NJ only but even here we have a few short cruises. 4 nights to Halifax and I consider 5 nights to Bermuda short. The rest are 7/8 day cruises to Coco Cay and 9 day cruises to Canada/NE then throw in a few 11 and 12 night Caribbean cruises. We are Anthem now, 7 nights Coco Cay and Liberty in Oct 9 nights Canada/NE which we do quite often, its our favorite cruise that honestly I could do every single year. Next year we stuck a 4 night Halifax cruise and a 5 night Bermuda cruise together for our first back to back. Long winded way of saying, we do not like short cruises!

Well Jaime's was really good again. I say really good and not excellent or amazing because the chicken Parmesan was just ok. It wasn't bad, it was just good and not exactly what I think of as great chicken Parmesan. The risotto was awesome and the apps were awesome, the desserts were very good also. The tiramisu was a bit too strong for me but not bad at all. That's me being a bit critical or taking a objective look at it. The staff is amazing though.

I could see that. Only in Oasis once but could definitely see that happening. After that show could be a crazy bottleneck. I didn't see any of the shows there but my wife said the show she was was awesome.

I only have taken one elevator ride and that was because we were going from deck 4 to 15, too much on that one. I had to get off on 11 and walk the rest of the way. Too many people getting in on other decks. Coughing? That's not cool at all.

The elevator situation on this ship is rough. My son and I beat my wife to just about every deck by taking the stairs over the elevators.

I'm taking the stairs all the time but feel I'm still losing the battle with the weight part here.

Well it's just weird how two people could be on the same ship at the same time and have such different takes on the food. I guess it's truly subjective. I would agree though that with the prices kinda skyrocketing the food should be a step up so the way around. With that said though we have no complaints.

Well here is my take so far and this is our 3rd or 4th time on the beautiful Anthem of the seas. We just absolutely love this ship. It feels like home now actually we've sailed on her so many times now. Hate to see her go but Odyssey will be awesome too I'm sure. On this cruise though it is really, really nice to have the indoor pool of which I'm writing this from. The security line at Cape Liberty is really bad I have to say. It's not insanely long but longer than it should be. Once you get through that is a breeze. The ship looks great, it's only 8 years old. We love Captain Felix also. He is personable but at the same time no nonsense and knows his job. The food has been excellent. MDR excellent, Jaime's for lunch yesterday, excellent. Jaime's was exceptional actually, wow. Tonight is Jaime's for dinner but that wasn't the plan. We have the 3 night dining package and we made reservations at Jaime's for lunch at about 1 but all the times we wanted at the restaurants we wanted were gone already. We kinda had to change things around. I don't think we are gonna get a dinning plan anymore if it's like this. Just pay for them outright and you can book them well in advance. Unless they actually change to plans can book on advance also. We just love Anthem!

And nope, at Cape Liberty today the app just would not load. Good thing we had the paper set sail passes.

Well it looks like it was fixed. Been working pretty much all day. At least they got on that quickly and took care of it.

I was able to screenshot them all. I'm gonna give that a try on Sunday and we'll have the paper ones I printed out yesterday. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

A screen shot works? They accept that and scan that? Maybe dumb questions.

I was just gonna post everything looks good today so far but it's gone again. Not only that but for a split, I mean split second you can see the "set sail pass" try to load and it goes right back to "check in". It's really something to behold here with Royal Caribbean. I'm impressed how bad this one is screwed up. I can just imagine people getting to the cruise terminal and this glitch is happening. I will no longer count on, rely on, or even care about the "set sail pass" on the app. Printed them out, no worries now.

Dude it is all screwed up. One second it will be there, next it disappears and a literal second later its back. Its infuriating.

It is bizarre, it's there one minute and the next it looks like you never checked in. It's super annoying especially when you are leaving in 3 days. I don't understand how this stuff just keeps on happening.

Ok, broke down and printed the set sail passes. In 2024 you should not have to but Royal Caribbean can't be trusted.

It's literally going back and forth from being there to looking like I never did check in at all. It's infuriating actually.

Well now it's gone again. I really don't need this bullshit 3 days before the cruise. I don't understand why this billion dollar company can't get things right with IT. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it's still missing.

Thanks for the suggestion, Android guy.

It's back to normal, "See you at 10:30" and the set sail passes are back like it was. 3 days before and something changes I get nervous. Royal is notorious for horrendous IT. Hopefully everything stays the same through Sunday morning when we need it.

It's in the app where you "check in". One you check in it will say "set sail pass" or something like that. When you click that you see all the set sail passes for your cruise, it's back to saying check in but I'm all checked in already. I think it says your arrival time too, which has been 10:30 all along. That's also missing.

I checked in on the app way back in early January. Everything has been fine, and when I opened the app I would see our set sail passes. Our cruise is this Sunday and now I see it says "check in". The set sail pass is in there but not as convenient as it was. Is it just cause we are so close to the cruise? I don't remember this on our last cruise in October.

My rational just last week when we booked our first back to back cruise that we spent more than we would have liked, you only live once. Can't take it with you was the other rational.

We are doing Jaime's on Anthem this Sunday for lunch, embarkation. We have eaten there for dinner before it's always been excellent.

That one I never saw before but sounds delicious. The windjammer is so chaotic though I never get a chance to check everything out. I'll look for it on Anthem next week.
