Hi, First time that I will be in St. Maarten. Anyone did this excursion before? How did you like it? Was there enough time at each beach to enjoy it? How was the lunch provided? It says it's a ROYAL SIGNATURE EXCURSION. I was looking for reviews but I have a hard finding any. .Here is the description of the excursion: ''This Royal Signature Excursion℠ delivers a hand-picked small group adventure that wows with its intimate tour size, regional culinary flavors, expert local guides and renowned service. Embark on an exclusive small group shore excursion around the sunny island of St. Maarten. Travel by air-conditioned motor coach to local attractions like Simpsons Bay Lagoon and Maho Beach, the photo worthy spot where planes land and take off right above your head. Pass through the lovely town of Marigot and wander among chic boutiques before arriving at the famous Orient Bay. Here, you’ll be treated to a scrumptious lunch and have exclusive access to beach chairs and umbrellas while you relax on the shore.'' Thanks!

Thank you very much for your response! So it means I would need to wait until Feb-March 2025 is seems for March 2026. Makes sense!

Hi guys! So i just came back from my First Cruise.. and I want to start planning. I want to leave from Cape Liberty, NJ. Is it normal that I do not see any RC boat leaving from there? Is it because the schedules are not out yet? Does it go year by year? or is it just because there won't be any RC Cruise from that Port?? Thanks! :)

Hi! I was actually wanting to ''snorkel'' with the kids on Coco Cay so they can experience to see fishes or stuff in the water. Is there a spot where is better to see fishes if any? Thanks!

Yes, I would not have any problem to bring it around as a have a small folding carry-on trolley but I'm trying to see my options as whether or not we should pay for refreshment package or not as we are all water drinkers and both my husband and I are coffee drinkers lol but if we cannot bring as much water.. they have water stations to fill up your thermos?

Thank you for the explanation!

It is weird the bottles of wine are per adult but water isn't per person lol oh well... Thanks for the info!

So if we are 5 in the room, we can bring up to 60 bottles of water for the room?

Hi! I wanted to buy that Coffee Card on Anthem of the Seas. So far, I didn't see any sales on it compared to drink packages but I do see someone mentioned on Black Friday... anyone ever had a discount other than on Black Friday? Is that a usual thing? How many kinds on sizes is there? I haven't seen any menu on the app for my sail. If I buy one pre-cruise, is there an option to buy another one on the ship? I would really want to know the prices of coffees... I'm a coffee person mostly lol

Hi! I would like to know... my husband saw that you can bring one bottle of wine per adult and 12 bottles/cans of water or juices etc. Is that still in effect?? Thanks!

I am going to be on Anthem on the Seas going to Coco Cay. When I book it did say diner was included for Coastal Kitchen... It means it's not accurate it was just a ''general'' message?

Thank you for the information! So only the 2nd Formal night will have lobster included, there is nothing special with the 1st Formal night?

I have a question too for Junior Suites as I am a new Cruiser. It says we can eat at Coastal Kitchen for dinner per availability. Do we even get the chance to eat there or most of the time there won't be any ''availability''. If we picked a 5:50pm dining, would it apply to it too or we would need to make separate reservations? Is it the same food at Coastal Kitchen than the Dining Room, it's it's just the ambiance that's different? Last question that has nothing to do with Coastal Kitchen really.. But I heard about ''Formal Nights'' and read that only on those nights we can enjoy lobster without any extra charge? Am I understanding well and is this available at any restaurant on board? Any other special things on those nights? Any free drinks? We are going as a family and won't be taking any extra packages so I wanna know if any special events I can get free extras.. Thank you!
