chrisd596 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 After cruising on the Disney ships for 7 times, we've decided to try RC out of Port Liberty. We will be on Anthem of the Seas for the 5 night Canada cruise. Since we have no experience on RC, I have many questions. But I'll start with just a few: 1. We live in NJ and it's easy to get to P Liberty. They have parking at the Port and say no reservations are needed. (I don't think they even take reservations) Is that true, none are needed. 2. Also, I've tried to reserve some of the entertainment activities on the ship and even called RC directly. The rep said it looks like you will need to visit Guest Services onboard to book the reservations. I really don't want to do that. I want to plan this ahead of time. But the rep mentioned that it doesn't look like they are taking reservations online for this cruise??? She mentioned to wait until the 120 day mark, or even the 90 days mark to see if it opens up. However she didn't sound very positive about this. I really don't want to stand inline, for something that should be able to be done way before we go on the cruise. 3. What shows would u suggest I book as soon as possible. 4. We're excited about this cruise because of leaving close to home and also the ports.... Bar Harbor and Halifax. ****Any thing you can mentioned about the ports or even the ship Anthem, any tips as well, would be appreciated. Thanks Chris Jorgeefaini 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41m33 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 We're sailing on Anthem next month and activities and shows didn't become available for prebooking until the 90 day mark. Don't lose hope, it may work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsbrady Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Most definitely make a reservation for We will Rock you. Best show I have ever seen on a ship. The gift was OK, and to be honest Spectre was just weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisd596 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Some great tips. On the Anthem, I see it has a jogging trail on one of the top decks, is there another trail sort of covered in one of the lower decks, in case the weather is windy or rainy. (The Disney ships have a waling/jogging trail on deck 4 underneath the safety boats. It's pretty covered and goes sort of inside at the front and rear end of the ship.) I was wondering if the Anthem might have the same type of thing. Thanks again. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't lose hope, it may work out. If booking the shows opens on the 90 day point, when I reserve, does RC give u an exact seat number, or can you sit any where that's available?? Plus the shows: We Will Rock You, any other show you would recommend I grab right away when reservations opens up? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to RCCL! Read your tips on parking at Cape Liberty. Very helpful, thanks. Did you carry your parking ticket with you on the cruise, so you could pay before u entered your car on the second level? The pay by cash tip, is great. I'm going to check online the price of a 5 day cruise and have the cash to pay...thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whenismynextcruise Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yes Chris take your ticket with you when you park. I am pretty sure the signs around there tell you to do so. Looks like the rate has stayed at $20 per day but worth checking again when your cruise gets closer. This site has most of the information.
