Thanks for posting the updates. Where are you getting them from? I looked on the official royal website but didn’t see anything.

Loving this thread! About that time did you reach the Verrazano Bridge? I’m curious because our Genie is delivering food to our room for sail away, right after Muster.... but we were wanting to go up top for the passing under the bridge. It seems like we may feel super rushed, and now wondering if we should cancel the food/ drink order. from my understanding we should be back to our room by 3:30 following muster. Does this seem right? sailing Monday, can’t wait! Thanks!

We have also had a wonderful pre cruise experience with Romina. It seems as though the Anthem has some great new Genies! Can’t wait for embarkment on Monday!

I hope this doesn't happen! So far our genie is fantastic, i really don't want it to change. I may stay away from personalization...

Good Morning! First off, I want to say thank you to everyone that posts on this message board regularly. I have learned so much from reading all of your posts and live blogs! We will soon set sail on our first ever star class cruise (Anthem of the Seas Grand Loft Suite, Jan 27 2020). We are sooooo excited! We have been assigned Romina as our genie. She is brand new as a genie for RCCL. While I haven't seen much in the way of reviews for her, so far she has provided wonderful pre cruise communication and seems to be very eager to provide exceptional service to our family. I love the idea of thanking your genie by gifting them with something personalized. We of course plan on tipping her accordingly, but would like to provide her with something additional. Since she is brand new, I am sure there are plenty of options for gifts that she could find useful and thoughtful. What are some of the best gift ideas that you all have seen? I was looking to personalize something for her, but I am honestly not very creative. Thanks everyone!

You lucked out with Andres from what I have read! We got our notification last week from Romina for the same sailing. While I haven’t heard too many things about her (I believe she is brand new), she is also off to a great start. Excited for the countdown... only 26 more days!

Would you be willing to share with me as well? We are getting ready for our first star class at the end of Jan. i really appreciate all of your input!

We got the Grand Loft Suite with 3 balconies. We are in stateroom 10720. Hopefully the weather is nice enough to enjoy the balconies!

We will also be on this sailing! Just upgraded to a grand loft, and this will be our first time in star class. No contact from our genie yet, but since we just upgraded I am not surprised. I am also excited to see who our genie is and get started preparing. we also used to be avid DIsney Cruisers, but made the switch to RCCL for the same reason. We just couldn’t justify the rising prices for what was offered. In our opinion, the royal ships are far superior to disney, even for our children. we have 2 boys, ages 12 and 9. They LOVE Royal. Your son will have a great time no doubt.

No. We just upgraded yesterday! We are so excited. I don’t think I’ve ever been so ready for a cruise! i love the idea of getting a gift for your Genie. Hopefully I’ll know who ours is soon and can prepare.

Thank you so much for all of this amazing info. We have been booked in a JS for our 11 night southern Caribbean on the Anthem in Jan for some time now, but we’re just upgraded to the corner grand loft suite, star class! We are beyond excited, as we have always dreamed of sailing SC. this blog has so much great info. Hopefully I’ll hear from our Genie soon, as we are 6 weeks out now. Can’t wait!!
