79 USD?? I've paid less for Springsteen.

You can have 6 people in a cabana. They don't care if they are in a suite or not once they get the wrist band after you sign them in.

Hi all. I'm sailing on the Anthem in less than 2 weeks. Our first trip on this class. I heard a rumour the other day that said the indoor pool's roof has uv protection and you won't get a burn. Can anyone comment on this?

The feed is the NFL international feed. Same video( unless they cut away to show on air talent) for the most part. While the international feed does have a few of their own cameras they let the main network do the heavy lifting. Same wild sound for ambient sounds... they get a feed from NBC... Different announcers . No Al,Cris and Michele... and since the advertisers pay NBC for the commercial real estate, no American commercials. The world feed is sold to broadcasters all over the world who then sell their own ads.

One of my favourite perks. Sabor on my balcony? I think so! Next month will be lunch from Michael’s!

Tried that with the dining room staff. Even asked my genie. No dice.

You don't need to worry about them. They've been discontinued. At least that's what we were told last summer.

My experience was the genie could move mountains. hibachi...no problem. Comedy club...also no problem.

What you read about Oasis is factual.

I haven't done the CK since they changed their menu last year. I'm on Anthem next month. My plan is to eat in the CK on the first night to get the filet. I've sourced the menus for the CK. There are some nights we'll eat in CK, others we'll do specialty. This will be my first cruise ever in which I do not step foot in the MDR. We will also be taking @Matt's idea of doing a "pre-dinner" with the little one either at the Jammer or Johnny Rockets and then we'll deposit her at Adventure Ocean while my wife, friend and I go off to enjoy our adult time.

On Freedom? I know Park Cafe is in the Solarium on some smaller ships.

The CEO Michael Bayley has stated they were going to improve the pizza. I'm not sure that's happened yet. It certainly wasn't very good when I was on Harmony in the summer. We'll see if it has improved next month on the Anthem.

I had my choice of beer and wine, but no hard booze.

We’ve been to Labadee a bunch but never CocoCay. That is scheduled to change next month (weather permitting). Some questions..... 1. Is there a dedicated suites beach? Any upgraded food options? 2. Is there sufficient shade? Is it necessary to get a cabana or bungalow? 3. I see there is a water slide. Any height requirements for this? My little one is about 40.5 inches (102 cm for those of us in the rest of the world who use metric...) 4. On that subject, any recommendations for the little ones at this stop? Thank you all. I’m not thrilled with the intinerary for this trip except for CocoCay..this trip is more about experiencing Quauntum class ship for the first time. I’m hopeful we’ll be able to make it ashore.

Any answer other than a Miami Vice is wrong

Johnny Rockets is no longer 5 bucks.

Nah. Different chain. Similar slogan. I'd take a 5 dollar hot and ready from little ceasars over Sorrentos.. That's how bad the RCI pizza is

Sorrentos is not good. I'd gladly take any of the big chains over it- Dominos, Papa John's , Pizza Hut, or even up here in Canada Pizza Pizza.... that is saying something Michael Bayley has said they are working on the pizza... There had been no improvement on my last cruise.. we'll see what the Anthem has in store for me in a month.

Symphony will have a pool in the solarium, different ( potentially better dining ) options but will not have DreamWorks characters... Of course the shows will be different.

I repriced a few months ago and saved thousands with a kids sail free promo. I was shocked. JL- maybe they are picking on you for being from North Jersey instead of Asbury Park?

For us we figure in the cost of the passport as part of the cost of doing business. I get some people are on a budget but in the grand scheme of things a passport that lasts 5 or 10 years for adults costing 100 bucks or so is relatively insignificant. Mine and the wife's passport are valid for 10 years. That works out to 32 dollars a year between the two of us. The little one's is good for 5 years, or until it doesn't look like her- whichever comes first. Her passport costs significantly less. Again, there could come a time where a passport is required for any travel. I'd hate to get to a country's border and be turned away just because I only had a birth certificate and a DL. I had a passport long before I needed to have a passport and I appreciate the freedom it affords me. Anyway- just my 5 cents ( In Canada we don't have pennies anymore..)

I've never understood the reluctance that so many people have when it comes to getting a passport. What happens if all of a sudden when you pull up to a foreign port and they have changed their policies requiring a passport to enter? Unlikely to happen, but it could. Or if something bad happens and you need to fly back to return home early for one reason or another... I don't get why people don't spend the few bucks and get one.

The NY strip isn’t bad.... The chops filet was amazing....and I’m not a filet guy.

And the not so fine print....these packages are ridiculously expensive.
