I don't have a ton of RC cruises under my belt, but I really enjoyed Ovation for an Alaskan cruise. We have a Norwegian fjords cruise on Anthem in June. Overall, I really liked the design during a cold weather cruise. I could see preferring a more open Oasis class ship for warmer destinations, though.

Southampton cruise port to London Heathrow
John-NC replied to John-NC's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Thanks, this is helpful. I got a reasonable quote from Blackberry Cars. -
What is the quickest way to get from Anthem of the Seas cruise debarkation to London Heathrow for a family of 4 adults? My Air2Sea flight got changed from 3PM to 12:45PM departure, so I want to make sure I get there as soon as I can. I've already looked at reserving a slot in the security line through Clear to speed things up. I've been researching ride share and private car transfers, but would appreciate some feedback for people who have done this. I have never been to London or Southampton before, so it's all new to me. Thanks

My June Anthem sailing is only 30% off, so it matches what I paid earlier. Oh well. -
Air2Sea - How did I mess this up?
John-NC replied to RoadtoNowhere73's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I had a similar experience where I put in seat requests during the booking and it all looked ok. I'm paranoid, so I validated it with the airline carrier and they weren't reserved as expected. I got it worked out, but I had to fully pay for my flight since my outbound flight on Icelandair wouldn't accept seat assignments without full payment. Air2Sea customer service was very helpful though, and got me taken care of. -
I'm considering the 6/14/24 sailing on Anthem to Norway. It has the following port stops. Haugesund, Norway Flam, Norway Olden, Norway Stavanger, Norway I can find information on the ports, but I'm having a hard time nailing down what fjords I will see on this route. Has anyone been to these ports before?

Crown & Anchor Points - Posting Delay
John-NC replied to Keiffer-b's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I got my points from a 9/8-11 sailing about 7 days after debarkation. -
I did see this video today. The dad throwing golf balls into the sea was similar to what I saw.

Ouch. I really wanted to see this ship, but I can't stomach these prices.

Yeah, some people are crazy. I prefer to focus on the vast majority of people that are decent and just having a good time on a weekend cruise, but this one bugged me. Overall, I didn't mind the weekend cruise vibe. It was great for people watching.

So, my wife and I were on our Independence balcony while in Perfect Day this weekend. It was later in the day after we had decided to come back on board. We looked across at the balconies on Freedom when we saw a lady take a bag out and just dump it out over her railing. I saw some papers and other items fall out. I'm normally a live and let live kind of guy, but why the heck would someone do that? Littering on land is aggravating, but on a ship, the cabin steward would have taken the trash out. It requires little effort to get something in a trash can.

Congrats. This gives me hope on getting Diamond. I just started my RCL journey this year, and I am hooked. I had cruised with Carnival in the past. I hate I missed out on those double point days.

Wait-listed for MDR at 5:30, Mariner
John-NC replied to CruiseMsclDad's topic in Royal Caribbean Dining
Good to hear you got this switched. I wouldn't like 8:00 dining either. I'm too used to eating early, so we pick the 5:30 dining time. -
Chris, your videos are very informative. I love seeing the behind the scenes view into how the crew works and plays. The crew is such a huge part of why I love cruising.
