My husband and I have been on 5 Disney cruises and 18 with Royal. This blog has provided a wealth of information and help over the years. Love it! I finally decided to join. I don't belong to ANY social media, which is probably why I hesitated to join. Maybe I can provide some help to someone too. Hi @Dawn T.! Welcome! And you are not the only...I am only on social media here, Shipmate, and Cruise Critic (notice the trend lol). And I lurked for a while (like years) before joining too!

SeasTheDayNJ Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi Everyone! I am new to Royal Caribbean, but not new to cruising. My parents started us out on Carnival back when I was in highschool, so it was all I knew. My husband has been trying to get me on Royal Caribbean for years, so we finally decided to book a last minute cruise for March 17th aboard Anthem of the Seas! Can't wait. We're from NJ so only about an hours drive to Cape Liberty Cruise Port. We are both a little skeptical about cruising out of NJ and losing warm sea days, but enticed by not having to fly. Hope to see ya aboard! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My live blogs can be found here: Anthem 11/25/17 - 7+12 B2B Anthem 1/19/19 9 Night Bahamas Anthem is well suited to a cold weather port like Bayonne but hopefully by March you'll only have one cool sea day.

I'm thinking of live blogging it this time so if I do, ask away while I'm on board. If not, you can still message me. But read @twangster's blogs. They are so informative!

Don’t forget it has the solarium indoor pool area that works just great on chilly sea days, so you can still get that “we’re on vacation!!” vibe going almost as soon as you’ve boarded. ?

Digmenow Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hey folks! We're Tom and Sharon and go by Dig and MsDig when online, respectively. It's been a few years since our last cruise and over a decade since our last RCI sailings. I've been lurking on this most excellent site since we made a spur of the moment decision a few weeks back to book a cruise along with our adult kids. I have a feeling that it won't be so long again until our next one. Oh, BTW, that's Felix the Cat, chuckling in my avatar. He's become my unofficial mascot across a variety of forums (fora?). See y'all around the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluv4n6 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hi All! Roger & Carol from WI checking in and excited to return to RC after a few years hiatus. This time on a truly big ship that will dwarf the only other one we've been on--Monarch of the Seas--which we thought was awfully big when we cruised on her in 2010. Been reading through posts here and listening to Matt's mellifluous baritone on the podcast...we now have a notebook full of tips and are starting to feel dangerous! Thanks for the vibrant, fun, informative community that is evident through your posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomOnTheRun Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi! I'm Lori, and live in MN. So much good information here! Our first cruise was on RCI Monarch back in 2005. It was a trial run to see what we thought. We all had a blast, the kids were ready to get back on and never leave! We have also cruised NCL around the Hawaiian Islands - loved the ports, but the ship wasn't as much fun as the Monarch, although our kids thought it was amazing. Then life got in the way, and finally 11 years later we are cruising again. We are heading to Alaska in August on the Explorer! It's a big family vacation with our two (now adult kids) plus their SO's and of course our teenager. Great way to kick off cruising again!
