I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the elimination of Dynamic Dining on the Anthem of the Seas effective with the November 27, 2016 sailing.
 
The deck four restaurants, American Icon and Silk, will become MTD, with a single check-in station in the hallway, and guests will be sorted to one or the other depending on availability. The deck three restaurants, Grande and Chic, will become standard first or second seating with assigned tables. The venues will remain the same physically, but the menus at all four will be the same. Apparently, the changes will start showing up in Cruise Planner in the next few weeks for sailings on or after November 27, 2016.

What Crown and Anchor level is your card actually gold colour?

If hurricane Nicole damages Bermuda, and they need to change the cruise itinerary, do they notify us beforehand or once we are aboard the ship?

Hey Guys,
 
Surely by now we all know that there's a hurricane headed directly for the Bahamas and Haiti... while the cruise line will obviously do it's duty of keeping passengers safe, I was hoping to start a thread to keep track of news and any updates on what impact was had on Royal Caribbean's private islands themselves... which, will hopefully not involve any damage.
 
Also... while there's a huge concern for those altering their vacation plans, keep in your thoughts the locals of the islands that we love visiting as frequently as we can and hope that this storm creates as little negative impact as possible.

I wanted to let you all know that I discovered that Royal is offering 30% off spa services prebooked through the Cruise Planner.  This just popped up for my January Allure cruise and shows up just like the one that appears for Voom and the previous sale on the drink packages.  Thus, if you're into spa services, this might be a good way to save some money by prebooking now.

You also just made a good argument for a Quantum-class vessel. Unfortunately, I don't think the fares will be high enough to justify that class of ship.

Noticed Cruise Planner now only has one VOOM package. Surf + Stream for $8.99 for one device. Best price yet. I suppose you must purchase for each person instead of the 2 device package. Previous 2 device package was $21.99, so a savings of about $4. 
 

According to http://www.cruiseportlandmaine.com/why-cruise-here/cruise-schedule/2018-2/ Freedom of the Seas is headed to Maine in 2018.
 
Let the speculation commence!

I read that the characters from the movie "Trolls" were on the Harmony. Any news if they will also be on other ships like the Allure?

Got this email from Crown and Anchor. 
 

 
RIP little cookies.

I can't vouch for the accuracy of this rumor, but a crew member on Liberty of the Seas told us today that they will be repositioning to Bayonne, NJ after April 2018 and then possibly on to China. No word on which ship might replace Liberty in Galveston.

Symphony of the Seas!

Does anyone know the next kids sail free dates. One just ended over the weekend and I thought it ended today. Needing this deal for our family.

Does anyone else want a cruise Through the Panama canal, old one or new one, in 2016 /2017 on RCCL besides me???  Every time I ask RCCL about this itinerary, specifically one from San Juan PR  TO San Diego CA, I hit a wall.  No one knows if or when that itinerary will  be posted nor can they give me a reason WHY. 
I'm hoping for some group pressure from others who only want to sail RCCL and want to do Panama Canal in the NEAR future.
Thanks for your help. 

Anyone see the news about Majesty being stuck in port? Crazy!
 

New trademark by Royal Caribbean called, "Perfect Day".  It is described as for Restaurant, cafe, and bar services; providing food and drink.
 
I am guessing this is the name of a new restaurant.  Any ideas?  Also, it's possible this is not for RCI, but for a sister company since trademarks are filed jointly.
 

Has anyone heard any details regarding Royal Caribbean's "More to Love" Ship Enhancement Program; certainly less advertised than the bigger, longer planned Refurbishments Pregram.  I recently came across a revitalization schedule that shows Royal Caribbean's planned ship refurbishments.  The schedule includes some of these low key "More to Love" Enhancements.
 
I'm particularly interested in learning anything about the enhancements planned for Radiance in May 2016.  I will be sailing her south-bound in Alaska on May 27 2016. I have noticed a gap in Radiance sailing schedule once she reaches Vancouver (following her transpacific crossing) and right before she starts the Alaska season - dry docking in Vancouver. Looking forward to some new sparkling surprises once I board!
 
I'm hoping the enhancements include VOOM  :-) 

Here are two of the new suite Seapass cards.
