Try booking times from the cruise compass before you leave. We were on anthem last year and those that didn’t have reservations had a tough time. Some were able but some weren’t.

I am wondering about the weather too. Just finished packing my clothes and clothes for the kids and hoping we packed correctly for the weather. Will make note of it for sure. I already put on my list to find out for you about the pub menu. I'll take a pic and post it. We plan to eat there since they didn't change the food menu. The burger, fish & chips, and the peanut butter dessert thing is calling. And according to a live blog in December by @twangster, you can make reservations once you get on board at the Box Office on deck 4 (or sometimes it's set up in Boleros) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you'll have great weather and depending on your tolerance to cool conditions get in some sun. On two of my three Anthem cruises I couldn't make iFly and/or North Star reservations in advance. I would suggest as soon as you board head to Boleros and make them with the Box Office staff. Many of the entertainment cast from the shows take on a side job and become box office staff to help with reservations on day 1. Upon boarding heading the circular staircase right near where you enter the ship and Boleros is right there on deck 4. After that take care of any specialty restaurants reservations. Cabin's aren't ready yet anyways so you might as well kill some time making reservations. Lovetocruise2002 and SeasTheDayNJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time, I have a pair of jeans and a sweater. I suppose I'll be boarding in jeans and sandals. Good thing for the indoor pools. Yay for the pub! can't wait to try the pb in a jar everyone raves about. and thanks @twangster - I'll have to check out your live blog again since my trip is coming up - can't wait!

And with the second snowstorm / nor'easter coming through on Wednesday, there may well be some decent snow left over. Supposed to get 4-6 inches in my neck of the woods, which isn't far from Cape Liberty. That area may end up with a bit more since it's on the water.

Got a few notifications from Delta while doing the after school activities run with the kids. A delta waiver has officially been issued due to "weather that may impact travel". We are flying to EWR early Thursday afternoon. Just told hubby over dinner to be prepared to make the 10hr drive if necessary. Hubby said we flew into Hurricane Irma in September so this should pale in comparison. Praying that all goes well and we get there on Thursday.

Hope you get there on time and the sailing is smooth. So glad it’s not me...hoping things settle in a few weeks...I have a 6 yo who is prone to air, car and sea sickness. I’d be doubling up on bags and Dramamine hoping to convince her the wrist bands really do work. I think you have kids who are also prone to motion sickness so hoping for an uneventful trip for you.

The snow is starting tonight into tomorrow. By the time you board it should be okay - your hopes now are that EWR has a good snow removal plan. Either way - you're getting to your cruise.

Bad news is that the current forecast for Newark, NJ shows 8-12 inches of snow tomorrow, with another 1 to 3 inches tomorrow night. Good news it will all be done by Thursday and the high for the day will be in the low 40's F. They're saying the snow will be heavy and wet because of the relatively warmer temps, so it will be a bear to clear out. But the good news is that if your flight is Thursday afternoon, I'd think that will be enough time for EWR to get the runways clear and de-iced. Hopefully Delta won't cancel on you, and at worst put your flight on a couple hours delay. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digmenow Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Haven't had much opportunity to follow many threads. Here's our superior balcony stateroom 9536 on the Jewel of the Seas out of San Juan on March 4th. The extra length and width is making our son in law jealous as their cabin just ahead of the forward elevators is shorter and narrower. Heh, even the safe is larger!
