I was wondering if that might be the case. Thank you very much for providing some clarification.

I understand that we will be notified once on board, but isn't there a pattern that can be gleaned based on when Chef's Table occurred on previous sailings?

I don't have an answer for you, but I have the same exact question. We are on the NYE cruise that sails on 12/30/2017. I left a post on John Heald's blog about it, but I have not gotten a response as of yet.

Hello,

We are considering taking Anthem of the Seas out of New Jersey for a NYE cruise, however we have some misgivings about leaving from a port in the northeastern US during that time of year. The one saving grace that I can see is the indoor pool area, but I was wondering how effectively a room covered in that much glass keeps out the cold air, wind, etc.? Does the Anthem's crew keep this area warm enough for swimming even in the dead of winter in New Jersey?

Thanks,

Jay Paolucci

Pet peeves:

 

People who complain, incessantly, about their fellow cruisers.

 

People who want a cruise to proceed exactly the way they think it should 100% of the time.

 

People who think they do everything right and everyone else is doing it wrong.

 

People who think Carnival employees main job should be to act as little policeman and to catch all the "rule" breakers as those folks break the rules.

 

People who waste their vacations and their enjoyment by focusing on all their "complaints" instead of just making the best of situations.

 

People who know exactly what the amenities are before they cruise and then complain that their aren't enough amenities to satisfy them while on the cruise.

 

People who act like a cruise ship carrying 3000 plus other passengers is their private "yacht" and everyone should be catering to them 24/7.

 

And so on and so on.....

I did not see an option to "like" this message as there is on Facebook, so words will have to suffice. I could not agree with you more, well said!

We do packing tape on both sides of the luggage tag and then punch a hole through both ends and attach with a heavy duty zip tie.

Depending on whether or not you purchased a drink package you may or may not have to go and get a sticker applied to your card. On our new year cruise adults already had their beverage stickers on their cards but children in the same room did not have the soda stickers on their cards. I have also heard that this can be the case with the ultimate dining package as well.

The indoor shopping area directly across from where the tenders drop you off has a small stand set up inside with water and various snacks. When you walk into the indoor shopping area go towards the back and then take a right and you should see it. We were able to get water, snacks, gum, etc there before our excursions.

I've read the NCL rules regarding the UBP, but what is not clear to me is if you want a glass of wine that is greater than $10, can you just pay the difference between the two? Same for premium liquor or beer?

Little Havana is nothing fancy, but simple Cuban food done well.

From Plattsburgh it would be spirit unless another airline has started up there. Albany would be southwest. I'm surprised that Burlington is more expensive than Montreal, as it is usually the opposite when I fly home.

You can also fly from Plattsburgh to south Florida, have you looked into that? The parking is free there too, so factor that into the equation. It's a bit far, but some people from that area drive to Albany just to fly southwest if it's cheap enough.

We have 3 kids in our group who are 6 and 7, they are zip lining. The 3 and 4 year olds are doing the dolphin encounter. Are you on the New Years cruise or the one immediately after?
