We're heading out on Anthem in a couple of weeks for an 11-night cruise. I really enjoy having cut flowers around, no matter where we are, but I've noticed that Royal doesn't have them available for pre-order on Cruise Planner. I was wondering if I would be allowed to bring flowers aboard in Cape Liberty as long as I don't bring them back off the ship when we disembark. We're driving to the port as we live a bit over an hour away, and I figured we could grab a cheap container from Dollar Tree or something, plus a couple of bunches of supermarket flowers. I'm obviously not planning to spend a lot on this, but I also don't want to get to the port and have to discard the flowers. (I prefer to throw my money away onboard, in the casino, like a good cruiser.) Anyone have experience with this recently, especially out of Cape Liberty?

Yeah, the dress code thing was a joke. I just meant, will they move elegant night if it's on Halloween?

Our 5-day cruise on the Sunrise leaves on October 30. The next day is the first sea day, which normally makes it Elegant Night--but it's also Halloween. For those of you who've sailed over Halloween, do they generally adjust Elegant Night if it falls on 10/31? I mean, we're taking costumes, but I doubt they'd be within dress code! Also, now that the new menus are being phased in, has anyone seen which ones get used for a 5-night cruise, specifically for that potentially-costumed Elegant Night? The menus I've seen are all for a week or longer. Thanks to anyone with some insight!

I'm wondering which formal night menu will be used on short cruises. With the last rotation of menus, there was an entirely different (non-lobster) menu on short cruises, and I'm curious to see what will be done with the new menus. We're sailing on a 5-night on the Sunrise in a couple of months, and we're trying to plan our steakhouse night. Any info about the new menus on shorter cruises would be much appreciated!

I saw the thread about the shows, but that's not really what I was looking for anyway. I have literally nothing available to book except about a dozen excursions. The dining, beverages and internet are what I'm interested in, and there's nothing listed for any of those yet. I was curious about prices because it's an 11-night cruise, and we were thinking about getting the UDP this time. I guess it's just too early. Usually we book much, MUCH closer to sail date, and everything is already loaded into Cruise Planner (if it's not already sold out).

I have a sailing booked in January 2024. I've never booked this far out before, but it's for a special occasion and we wanted our choice of cabin. When I open Cruise Planner, there is almost nothing available to book except about a dozen shore excursions. There's nothing under internet, drink packages etc. For those who have booked cruises early, when might I expect to see those items listed for purchase?
