We did this itinerary on Enchantment for our honeymoon, but just out of Miami not Galveston, and we personally enjoyed the itinerary. Enchantment is definitely an older ship, and does show the age in some places, but we still had a great time and if Enchantment was doing an itinerary that we wanted to do I would book again. If you’re planning on drinking more than 4-5 drinks a day the drink package is probably worth it for you, plus you can use it on Coco Cay. We told them it was our honeymoon prior to boarding and they did little things to help us celebrate, like decorating a plate when bringing our dessert at Chops, and they did cake and champagne in the Viking Crown lounge one night, couple little things to help make it a little special.

With the most recent change, Port Canaveral and Coco Cay are set at the originally planned times, Nassau has been cancelled

Yea just saw that, hoping they stick with this itinerary now, guess we’ll see

With boarding at 1 tomorrow now, what time should we get to the port?

We got an email from Royal as we were pulling into the cruise port this morning, it was kind of a little unorganized at the port with employees not really knowing a whole lot of details, but they’ve got us in a hotel for the night, we’ll be boarding tomorrow with a little bit of OBC for some drinks :)...it’s not ideal but what can you do?

Yea, it leaves Friday the 7th

I'm on this same cruise (getting excited)...I don't remember where i saw it, but I'm pretty sure the formal nights are day 2 and 7...with Broiled Lobster Tails on the menu for day 7.

Thank you

I can't seem to find it anywhere, but is Izumi on Anthem open for lunch? They have a dinner option available in cruise planner, but nothing for lunch like Chops and Jamie's offer.

Would LA or West Coast in general make sense being that the ship is LNG powered with California's regulations? If they are truly re-doing the port over there to make a couple spots for cruise ships, RC could make a little splash with a new ship...although, being from the northeast US I would also (selfishly) like to see it be in NJ 🙂

I completely understand why you’re upset...that said, I don’t think RCCL is targeting a specific group or discriminating against anyone with this pricing strategy. They’re simply doing what is best for their bottom line, which as a publicly traded company, they’re supposed to do. Do I like that choosing my own room is more expensive than letting Royal choose it for me? Nope. But I completely understand why it benefits RCCL to make the GTY reservations less expensive and allows them the flexibility to fill cabins as they see the need. As some people have noted on this site, it has worked out very well for them with upgrades. Again, I understand your frustration, but I don’t see an intentional discrimination here.

Just curious how much the wow bands cost initially?

We uploaded ours when doing the e-check in on the Royal app. We scanned our passports and at one point it prompted us to upload a picture if we wanted to, so we did figuring it could save us time later on, but as others have said, they can always just have you re-take it at the port regardless. We did our on our phones with the app, not sure if it's different on a computer or not.

Has this been pretty typical of the internet on Anthem? We're on her in a few weeks and just wondering what to expect with it. How is the quality in the stateroom? We would really only care for using things like FaceTime.
