On Anthem I usually hit 270 for breakfast. Get the egg mcmuffin type sandwich and a fruit cup. Kummelweck sandwich or two for lunch a couple of times on each cruise. Very relaxing atmosphere.

I take Amtrak from Connecticut to Newark and uber from there. I would just take more than one uber for 12 people. I don't know if you can find a private service for that short a distance.

They sat me alone on the Anthem in December and that was a full sailing. They didn't ask me but that what I would have requested anyway. I had My Time dining but I reserved the same time each night in advance.

Happy Sailing October 2023 cruisers!!!

10/15 Oasis -
I agree from just looking at the menus. I'm glad the Oasis still has GT for my cruise next month.

I understand, but it's an OPTION. If it's not for you simply don't pay for it and find another nice quiet spot on the island. And if the RCL cruise experience is not what you prefer - again look for a cruise line that caters more to the quiet, more sedate style of cruising. Holland America, maybe Celebrity for example.

7 Night Perfect Day Bahamas (Oct 15-22, 2023): A Star Class Oasis (OTS)
nferr replied to Karannk's topic in Live Blogs
I'll be on that cruise. Far from Star Class though. Booked in a 14'th floor interior room, actually right next door to the Aqua Suite. We'll see if any Royal Up bids are successful but I'm doubtful. Going solo and looking forward to a great cruise. I'm also about two hours from the port in Connecticut. Taking Amtrak in the morning from Bridgeport and a Uber from Newark.- 82 replies

Giovannis Table for lunch - a few questions
nferr replied to JFCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
That's what it shows on the lunch menu where I can book online. On the app it doesn't even show a lunch menu. In fact it doesn't even show any lunch hours for Giovanni's Table. This is for the Oasis on 10/15/23 cruise. And I corrected my earlier post. They do show Garlicky Prawns on the lunch menu also online. They need to update the app. -
Giovannis Table for lunch - a few questions
nferr replied to JFCruise's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
No, it's a little different. The lunch menu doesn't have the Osso Bucco. Only real difference I can see. The lunch is absolutely a deal versus the dinner price. -
I also have one with RC in October (Oasis 10/15), and MSC in January (Meraviglia 1/26).

Not embarkation day, but the next day (first sea day), you can definitely hit 60 degrees in the afternoon. Day after that you're in Florida.

I really don't fully understand the griping about the new menus. Seems like most of the items on the old menus are still there but grouped differently with the "themed" night scenario. Now preparation might have changed some and that's a different issue. But people saying they can't find anything to eat on the menu is.....

I've done many out of NY in winter, doing another this January. Of course weather varies, but most of the time the very first sea day is warming up in the afternoon. The next day you're in Florida. Love it. So much better than flying south to catch a cruise. Plenty to do inside the ship if it's cold anyway.

On Anthem in December I was expecting small pours and ended up getting pretty smashed! They were definitely not 3 ounce pours. I guess it's up to whatever server you get.

I agree with the majority here, I would skip Izumi.

Disney returning to in-person Muster Drill
nferr replied to Atlantix2000's topic in Royal Caribbean News and Rumors
That's a great idea!! -
Agreed but I'm not the type to go running to the authorities over every little thing.

Last month on Anthem people were smoking weed on the balcony next to mine. I was kinda surprised but it wasn't a huge deal to me. I'm sure opinions vary but I don't mind the smell of weed while I find the smell of cigarettes to be kind of vile. It seems the cigarette smell just sticks on your clothes.

Lunch on embarking day other than Windjammer
nferr replied to Chris 1972's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
I did the same thing in December on Anthem. Did Jamie's Italian for embarkation lunch, was $17 on the sale. Had a great lunch, the menu is pretty similar to the dinner menu. Was quiet and mostly empty and avoided the Windjammer crunch. -
in December Anthem had two omelet stations plus that eggs and more station where I saw some people ordering fresh cooked eggs over etc. I'd be really surprised to not see an omelet station on my Oasis cruise this October.
