I used Airalo Island Hopper a year ago, and it worked great.

Thanks, all.

Is this what I am looking for? TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router

I don't need super speed. Just something easy and reliable.

Newbie question -- how does a travel router get through the ship login information? Is there a step-by-step guide anywhere for first timers? Thanks.

This is why you buy travel insurance. They would be the ones to guide you through the process.

I would think it's a low number.  Perhaps 3-5%.

It is my understanding that it's closer to 20%. That is what I was told by a friend who did a contract on RCI at guest services.

I tip for good service. I usually get it.

Stay in Vancouver. So much to do -- beautiful city.

We are not ship excursion people.  What should we plan to do with a car in Peggy's Cove/Halifax?

Head to Peggy's Cove as soon a possible to beat the tour busses. Then head to Mahone Bay for lunch. Then check out Lunnenberg, and head back to the ship. You could also just go to Lunnenberg for lunch. 

They were available in the Two70 bistro throughout the cruise last week on the Anthem.

What time of the year? Liberty is a great ship, but it does not have covered pool and/or solarium.

It does not have set Broadway shows, but there is an entertainment in Theater daily.

Also Liberty has ice arena for skating and shows.

Insides of Liberty do not have Virtual balconies.

It is more open ship with open sports deck rather than Seaplex. It has nice minigolf course, not sure about waterslides now.

Liberty has inside Promenade similar to Esplanade, but wider.

 

I suggest watching videos on Youtube.

 

This year we have 2 cruises on Anthem (11 dayer to Southern Caribbeans already sailed and 7 days to Bahamas for Thanksgiving) and 2 on Liberty (5 days to Bermuda in May and 9 days to Canada in September).

Actually thinking of the Canada one in September on the Liberty.

Were you on the January 2 on the Anthem?

Hello:

We have FCC that we need to use -- narrowed it down between two cruise -- Anthem and Liberty. Itineraries are about equal to us. Liberty is cheaper. We have been on the Anthem and loved it.

Any thoughts on the Liberty vs. the Anthem?

(Yes, I have read reviews....looking for real-world advice. Thanks!)

We only heard a cough (normal) here or there. How do you know COVID statistics on cruise? I heard zero talk or indication of COVID. 

 

We had a great time. 

My wife was isolated for 5 days with COVID. Was told by medical that 230 other people were also isolated, and that those are only the ones who actually reported to medical.

Room steward told us that 175 staff were also off with COVID.

Just got off Anthem this morning. Had a great 11 day cruise and we really enjoyed going to San Juan, St John's Antigua, St Kitts, St Lucia and St Marrten. Not doing a review but am happy to answer any questions about the ship and the ports.

Was on it too. Way too many people coughing and snotting. And too much COVID.

That being said -- beautiful ship and cruise.

For easiest functionality, a Samsung tv clone remote works best — as it doesn’t need to be programmed.

Currently on Anthem. In and out in less than an hour each night. We are not long diners. Early seating.

See my speed test — no issues. Occasional slow down and occasional disconnect.

I am on my balcony on Deck 6 right now —lots more of speed.

Quite impressed. Surf and Stream package.

How are the crowds on the Anthem currently? Long lines waiting to enter the dining room?

No lines! We walk right in. Waited 3 min on the first night.

Thank you!  I am on the Anthem in a few months, and won't bother to ask; I'll just put it in the mini-wallet.

We bought dollar store lanyards with plastic pouch before coming — convenient and easy!

On the Anthem right now — early opens at 5:15. We are out of the dining room by 6pm.

From two days ago out at sea.

No hole punch permitted on the Anthem — currently on the ship and asked at guest services.

What happens if you answer a question negatively? (Just curious)

I got a 32" LED Samsung TV with this remote. Would it work on the cabin TV ?

Did it work?

I spoke to them today and this is exactly how it works.  

We made a $25 deposit to hold our chairs and will provide $20 when we arrive. In turn, we will have a $45 credit to spend at the bar or restaurant. 

Is this 45 per person -- or $45 for a couple?

Jolly Beach area is my favorite beach in the Caribbean.  Very quiet, white sand beach, turquoise warm water.  Last time there we went to Sandra's.  A small beach shack with very reasonable food and drinks with tables chairs....beautiful beach to take a walk!

Thanks! Do you take a cab from the cruise ship pier? Any idea on cost?

Do they rent loungers/umbrellas?
