Agree with those posting above and adding that 1- at the end of my last cruise our first announcement was that disembarkment would be delayed by 45 minutes due to port traffic, and 2- I’m not sure I would enjoy my cruise as much as I would be stressing about this. But that’s me

Looking forward to hearing everything about your experience on Grandeur. We have a 12 night booked next January in J3 also but am super nervous. Have only sailed Oasis and Quantum class so far and booked Grandeur for the itinerary. Hope you have a wonderful sailing!

Same message with no cruise until March 14. App and online cruise planner both down for me too.

Yes, absolutely. No need to spend the extra $$ for separate packages

You can also go to cruisemapper.com, select any ship, then scroll to the itineraries. Select any itinerary and the relevant map will open up. I know it doesn't help with checking off all of the ports you already visited, but I like to use it when planning and daydreaming.

It looks like it may be a chartered cruise, yes. It shows up on cruisemapper.com like this with no price listed: You can go to cruisemapper.com to see the full itinerary.

Don't know if it's relevant - but - If either of you have a pre-existing condition, as my husband does, an Allianz policy has to be purchased within 14 days of your first trip payment or deposit. From Allianz, just so you can note the full scope of their definition: A Pre-Existing Medical Condition is an injury, illness, or medical condition that, within the 120 days prior to and including the certificate purchase date: 1, Caused a person to seek medical examination, diagnosis, care, or treatment by a doctor; 2. Presented symptoms; or 3. Required a person to take medication prescribed by a doctor (unless the condition or symptoms are controlled by that prescription, and the prescription has not changed).

I have done The Key 3 times in the past 6 months. The bag I drop off has always been inside my room as soon as the rooms open. But agree, not a lot of value unless it is very close to internet price, especially since all in the room must purchase.

I didn't mean they gave me any hassle at all - more like if they are really busy, they might sometimes forget and grab from the well.

Yes, I ask for a Grey Goose Cosmopolitan, a Patron Margarita, a Bulleit Sidecar, and never have any problem as long as they're not taking a bunch of orders at once (like in the theater, I know that that margarita came back with well tequila). I also find that, after a good tip, the other ingredients become premium also, such as Grand Marnier instead of shelf triple sec (although you could just ask for that too).

Loved Jazz on 4 on Oasis and Allure. So cool to have a space devoted to Jazz and such a great space too. But same experience-just not many people there at all. Could be the writing on the wall that they didn’t even bother putting one on Wonder?

Check on your Booking Confirmation from Royal. Under "Guest Information" it lists: Guest Name Crown & Anchor Number Age Range Dining The Dining listing will either say a specific time or "My Time" If you want something different than what is listed there, you or your travel agent (if you used one) can call and change it. Enjoy your cruise!

Not a gambler and am actually no longer on this cruise - but have a blast!

I got off Anthem on the 24th. We still had the old menu, but they said they were changing to the new menu for the current sailing.

Anthem has an omelet station in WJ as well as an “eggs & more” station where it appears that they are possibly cooking eggs to order.

I’m on Anthem now. I asked my stateroom attendant for a paper copy the first time I met him - he noted it on his list and I have received without fail. That said, I think I’m ready to move to paperless next cruise.

We are also still on 2x day housekeeping (Anthem). My stateroom attendant is terrified of the upcoming-at-some-point change when he will have 25 rooms to service, potentially cleaning up after 50 people/day. He is usually working the rooms until close to 2 pm as it is and then back a couple of hours later. Still getting towels animals (3 so far on day 8 of 11). We are also still on old menus.

I have used the online form for my last three (or 4?) cruises and get an updated Guest Invoice from Royal with a cover page “Dear Shareholder…” via email in 3-5 days. The OBC is in my account when the email arrives.

I can’t remember if it was 4100 or 4010. Pretty full. There are only 300 children. My first time on a Quantum class ship and I’m really loving it despite the high seas that we’ve had so far.

Onboard Anthem right now:

Same. Made the mistake of taking a cab once though from Miami to my hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. That was about $100 including tip, but it was a Friday late afternoon.

Look in the app: select “dining” in the bottom circles, then after it switches, scroll past “hungry now”, “restaurants “, and “main dining” to the bars & lounges selections. You’ll then get a list of all of the bars and lounges. Pick one, then look for the blue “menu” choice. It will list what they should (but don’t always) have with prices. You can order any cocktail anywhere as long as they have the ingredients but it will list their specialties.

Yep. What she said.

This is an option that you or your travel agent would have selected when you did the booking. It would show the early or late dining time or my time dining. If you do t have it and you want it, whoever did the booking can contact Royal to change it, as available.

Quantum has an 18 night I was looking at - TransPacific.
