may have to learn how to do this...

love the freedom - best cruise staff and entertainment I think Yes like Matt said go to Flow Rider when it first opens and sometimes right when you get into the ports like 10am its not as busy but ask the guys/girls that work there too for good times Have fun !! and January I'm jealous, the Caribbean is looking good this winter for sure

if you have tracked airfare from MSP to Florida in general I think that rate is good Sundays are the cheapest days now to buy airfare so you might want to either watch it the next few days BUT my rule is do not buy airfare until you are for sure going on a trip Sometimes people say they are going on a trip then something comes up and if you have the airfare this far out - you are stuck with airfare (well credit) And you are only allowed to change that current ticket up to one year from the day you purchased it -for most airlines - Make sense? And buy insurance - on the airfare if its this far out in case you do have to change it and have a valid reason sometimes that insurance will cover those change fees. food for thought

Yes Matt and its amazing how you can live with someone and they do not know you at all! :wub:

yep hoping this in time too will change -logging off is the hardest thing for me to remember too but when I was on the Anthem - it was easy for my roomie and I to toggle between the accounts and not be on at the time times

Yep big topic I have been reading it too - RCI has been catching on to the Casino option and even at 5% that is better than leaving it there, but I have a feeling they are going to stop that I have been starting to do gift cards to clients instead sometimes, this way they can take the card with them and apply it or use it elsewhere.

love Love Boat, that cracks me up! watch weekend cruise shows all the time plan plan and plan for my next cruise of which I always have several going on Why can I not be as dedicated to other things in my life...

been on a version of the dating game - did not win but was pretty funny

Right as Matt said the future OBC is based on what length of cruise you book and also what type of cabin that you book. The immediate incentives are what everyone has said - and the next cruise deposit is not refundable - Really wish they would just discount future cruises based on your loyalty I'd always rather save more money-then OBC but that is me.

Just so you know - when its a Cyber deal and includes things that are not listed on the confirmation - right away - it usually will show up in about 10 days after the booking - so for a VOOM deal, if its a qualified date- I would call back in about 10 days and ask them to resend a confirmation showing this on it. Glad you got yours booked though!

like Marc said yep Caribbean ships getting VOOM first - its always easier I think to get off ships and use internet near the ports, I google all ports and find internet cafe's for like $5 for 30 minutes and use those most of the time - they always have one close since many crew members use them - just an idea -no ideal but a lot cheaper sometimes/

nope can't go there.... :P

great review and really like this class of ship - and Once Upon a Time is my favorite as well Funny I love the Promenade rooms and get them on many sailings even over balconies so it really is subject to everyone's likes for sure. Belize is one of my favorite spots in the Caribbean - glad you did this tour and I agree the tenders are not my favorite but we saw lots of dolphins when we were headed back to the ship once, so it was cool.

Anthem of the Seas - 1) Two70 2) Ifly 3) Bumper Cars and Sportsplex 4) Art Work on ship - just so cool 5) Vintages

great question - I know US clients get one just at the airport but I would reach out to someone from the UK or your consulate like Mat says to be sure You may be able to google the answer or ask RCI directly as well

Agree with others as well - Anthem was great and still has fun things to do for adults so if you can do this non=summer times or holidays I think you would love it and then yes the Allure or Oasis just have more to do on them as well for adults I think Southern Caribbean is a great suggestion or longer than 7 nights Transatlantics or Pacific Coastal transitional cruises that leave in May or Sept each year are unique and offer some cool things Sept 23 2016 they have a sailing on the Explorer that over nights in San Fran how cool is that!

I would say for the pricing and length of cruise I would try the Navigator - how old is the 3rd guest - while I love Oasis class like others - and I think you would love it as well - I sometimes think its better to try a smaller ship as a comparison. Then you can go up for sure - the newest Anthem I like a lot better than Oasis or Allure - I think the layout is more to my style - Again - depends on things you like to do - when picking a ship I even just sailed on the NCL Escape which I think will be great for families Good Luck - happy to help you

I like the décor much better on Royal - I have sailed Carnival 3-4 times and the other thing I really did not like was the entertainment and the constant announcements they make over the speakers But I agree the 2.0 ships are better than previous ships Again - happy to help with questions that may be more specific.

Balcony - Guarantee - they can assign you any type of balcony listed - and yes that is a great deal

:D This is how I feel today cause tomorrow I'll be stepping on to the Anthem in NYC I will be gathering as many food photos that I can (for Matt) and Cabin Photos Love that as agents we get access to see most every type of cabin on the ship Anything else I should check out???

Hmm - this may be just with your card company and in this day in age would not surprise me that they are being cautious - I process all kinds of cards with them every few days so I would not be overly concerned.

I have been on Liberty and Freedom and like both but the entertainment staff on Freedom is better in my opinion and that is big to me- and the new port terminal is very nice in PC they are making a lot of changes there which will be great I think

oh then you should be fine I think - love love love that ship too -

Marmalade Restaurant and Wine Bar is great - El Meson Gallejo is good too - foodies and presentation are great The Parrot Club in Old San Juan is one of my favorites as well

agree - I think Disney is beginning to out prices themselves somewhat- and like you I have done all of it Parks, cruise and Adventures by Disney (best product I think) but cruises give you lots more for your money and you have many, many ships and places you can go - and I love Freedom So glad you family enjoyed it
