We are on that same cruise as well and we are in a suite. We will go to the Coastal Kitchen one or two times as we enjoy the other restaurants as well. Great to hear the info above on happy hour times. We still get the Deluxe Drink Package so don’t always know the info…

We will be on The Oasis in July. We got the Casita for one day during non sea day at Nassau… We stayed on the ship with Anthem in March when in Nassau and pool area had lots of room. This is more because my son likes shade. It is sold out for sea days. What has been anyones experience with it and its locations? We have not seen these before … …

I bring magnets, magnets with hooks, my clothing cubes, clothing hooks for attaching our swimsuits, and I love my shoe organizer that I can hook to door…use it for everything I need, like lotions, googles, toiletries, shoes, etc. Love that I can see everything right away and makes everything organized! My steward loves how everything has its place. I’m sure makes their cleaning easier too….

Absolutely Agree! Loved The Sushi & Sake Lunch! That Champagne Lobster! Yummy!

I received my email for Royal Up Bid the 3rd week of April for my July 8th cruise.

Hahaha! Well, we do leave generous tips

Thank for the info! It was nice for us to experience for CK on the Anthem the first time. Even though we were offered on other days when they called us to ask to come again, we had a specialty dining package and wanted to experience different locations. It’s good to know we can come any dinner nights if available. We met many Pinnacle members at other restaurants though out the week who told us, they were going elsewhere for some dinners, and it wasn’t as busy. We are in another Junior Suite on Our July Cruise on Oasis, so will hopefully try CK on that ship!

In March, I was the only one who had the app. Not my husband or son. My son and I did at same time and they ended up checking us all off with that same app. Hubby showed up half hour later to do it even though they checked him off. It was very quick and easy.

“There are only 2 of us and NO WAY would I have 1, 2 device package to share. We almost came to blows the one time I tried it and we kept kicking each other off when trying to change devices. Now, everyone gets their own plan with their own log-in and peace has reigned ever since. Well...mostly always....some of the time” Totally agree with WAAAYTOO …..May cost more individually (even though I have gotten sales that are close to the multi device plan) but worth every extra penny I have spent for peace of mind.

Getting there early is a plus even though I understand your dilemma with scheduling/pricing/etc. It’s definitely better for peace of mind not cutting it close if you possibly can. (This coming from a 32 yr flight attendant) I love Vancouver. I’m from the USA but now live in Toronto area. There is a lot you can do within that time frame that is close to the port. Wonderful restaurants, Stanley Park is beautiful, have a glass of wine from the region, The suspension bridge is a must and accessible from that location. Good luck and enjoy your cruise!

Absolutely loved the Sushi and Saki Menu for Lunch….The Lobster Roll was Amazing! Takes the guesswork out as the chef chooses the menu and did not disappoint

Yup, what was said above. At least 2 doses for travel purposes. We came back from our March Cruise and are going again in July. No issues at all. We live in Toronto area. My son has two doses but not boosted. We are boosted.

Hi. I was on the Anthem Mar 13th. I brought our 3 WOW Bands with us but found out they weren’t using it as of now and would not activate it. They did tell us New ones will be coming soon…..

Thanks…….we ate everywhere on our Anthem a couple of weeks ago. We did Chops,Wonderland,IZumi Lunch and Sake, (loved!) My Time and Coastal Kitchen the 2nd night (they did give us the option of 1st or 2nd night) For us, even though Coastal Kitchen extended the invite to come again, we really enjoyed all the other places we ate. We actually saw many of the Pinnacle members at My Time we met at Coastal…. We ended up near each other and had a great time!

We were in a Junior Suite on the Anthem a couple of weeks ago and we understood we get to go to Coastal Kitchen first or second night for Dinner only…. We ended up going the 2nd night since we wanted to experience it for the first time. We got a call and was asked to come back on another night, but we had a specialty dinning package so couldn’t make it. They called again, but still couldn’t make it. Curious if this is common or if they weren’t full would extend the invite?

I played all week last week. …nothing Hubby played for a minute….jackpot I guess we both won.

Ok..good to know. I must have purchased a multiple plan with the same code for everyone. I just got a great deal on my last week cruise that was just as cheap doing it separately so it was a win/win.

And FYI: We used the Switch Health Antigen Test we got in Canada to take with us. We took the test on Sunday morning before leaving the ship and it was extremely easy for the 3 of us. Took about 5 minutes each with the nurse coming on video, then 15 minutes later for our results. At the border, he asked to take a look at our negative results, and we were on our way. Thanks to this board, we preplanned and could not have gone smoother!

Our luggage last week arrived at 1pm….down the hall for many, not outside our room. Luckily, our luggage stands out so no biggie.

We used Rexall Antigen test in Ontario…$30 verses $40 Shoppers. We used it to board ship last week with no problems at all. Got on at 10:30…only took 5 minutes from time we got in terminal to ship.

Exactly what we did. We used just to connect for the most part. When my son went to the teen room, he was showing some friends he met some games online as they interacted, but truly, cruising is for enjoying every moment. We had an absolute blast and can’t wait for July, when we will cruise again!

Yup….May be good idea. My teenage son needs his own plan for sure. Does not like getting off when I need to use it. I got the 3 individual ones when they were on sale so it wasn’t a big price difference even though I would still always go this way on all my cruises.

The thing to think about is if you use the same sign in code, all of you cannot be on the the devices at the same time. Yes, you save money together, but buying each separate saves me on peace of mind. I just got off cruise a few days ago and my son, myself and hubby had separate codes, and it was wonderful not kicking anyone off.

I just got off Anthem a couple of days ago and was not self serve in the Windjammer

We were told Anthem was approx 3100 on our March 13th cruise. Some cancelled because of bad weather (flights cancelled) on the 12th and couldn’t make it in. Easy to get in shows and dining.
