I wold think if it were crew, it would not be marked on the map that the public sees. I'd also think they'd have it more secluded from the guests and not right up against a guest area.

Sure!!

YES! That looks perfect to me!!! I don't mind having to walk a bit further for food or drinks - if anything it'll mean I'm only going when I'm truly hungry and not snacking off and on throughout the day!

While it's nice to see that, there are plenty that you can find (a lot done by one agency) that cover them all without any luggage, etc. in them. I much prefer to see one partway into the cruise so I can see how people live in the cabin. It's easier to see the actual storage amounts and locations when there are clothes in there, etc. That is the best way for me to get if a cabin is going to work for me. The perfect view with nothing of real life in there doesn't help to know how that cabin will actually be when you're living in it.

Most ships do not allow adhesives of any kind be used on the walls or ceilings. Magnets only.

The woman who owns the travel agency I use is on the media cruise right now and did a FB live from Hideaway. I'm still not sold...I prefer a more serene adult beach than the uber party it feels like that's going to be. Additionally, there was some person in a plane buzzing the island - I think she said a Red Bull Plane or something...seemed to be planned - and it was ANNOYING. Does that happen all the time, or is that just for this media cruise and for the inaugural? I'm beginning to think as much as I love a nice beach day, since I prefer it more serene I might be better off giving up the beach and just having a quiet ship. I'll be there on Anthem and I believe Liberty will be in port too. Is there ANYWHERE that is quiet short of paying a small fortune for a cabana? I wish they'd realize that not everyone wants a 24/7 party.

Some lines will not let you use the same picture as used for your passport. Disney for sure will not. They'll reject the head shot if it's the same picture.

I only know because my sister used to work at Disney World and talked about the various champions' parades they have (she got a glimpse of Michael Phelps when he had one). And I have a few "Swifties" in my greater circles who have been talking about it. I don't know if they did them before they started the "Football Player X, you've just won the Super Bowl! What are you going to to next?" "I'm going to Disney World!" ads in 1987 or not, but they're a regular feature now.

There is typically a “victory parade” with the winning Super Bowl team in the Magic Kingdom the day after the Super Bowl. Since Taylor is dating Travis Kelce, they are assuming if the Chiefs win he would be there and she might be as well. So they want to be there to see her just in case.

The number of Swifties that are already plotting how to be at Disney World the day after the Super Bowl "just in case" is kind of amusing.

Once upon a time Disney Cruise Line would honor the price a category was at booking, but that stopped I think even before COVID.

Happy anniversary!!

Here’s Merida being snuggly now that she is back to her normal self.

Thanks. I have 6248 - one of the solo studio balcony cabins - I think it's one with one of the larger balconies for them.

Absolutely! This is my first time on the Anthem - or any ship this large - so I am a bit nervous. But warm is good.

She is back to normal! Apparently she made herself afraid to throw up, so she opted to quit eating. No blockages or anything were detected.

4 weeks from now I should be on Anthem. Definitely ready for a break!

Unless you can change to My Time, then yes, let them know so that a - any tablemates you might be assigned won't be kept waiting until the servers decide you're not coming b - they can release the table to others c - you hopefully won't get a call from the dining team to see where you are If you have MTD I don't know that you need to let them know.

Given that the instructions say "Preferably in color" that would indicate that color is more helpful to the crew handling the bags. I pretty much always do carry-on but I print a couple in color just in case I change my mind on port arrival.

Ooh true. I did just finish watching a doc series on Netflix and it was about a serial...not killer but horrible person who used zip ties and swim goggles that had been duct taped over. Eek!!

What are you using that for? You're not supposed to use any adhesives on the ship walls/floors/ceilings.

I believe after a certain point those cabins open up to everyone with Royal assuming anyone needing an accessible cabin would have booked already - and if it's last minute, you are likely in that period. So I would not worry about it.

Looks do-able. I'd personally skip the day 1 lunch - much better places around. I personally am not sure you need a full afternoon in Times Square. It's mostly tourist trap t-shirt shops and stores you can find pretty much anywhere. And Day 2, I know my family was not super impressed with the basically grab and go offerings on the island - we had planned lunch there but ended up waiting until we got back to Manhattan. I'd definitely make your dinner reservations in advance - Open Table is good for that. And I'd plan on buying yout theater tickets in advance as well. I now you said that there were no Wicked tickets on sale for the 2 days you're there - are there for other days around that? Or have they not dropped a new block for that time frame yet?

Ah. So they cut a lot. That's where Come From Away would be amazing. It IS a 90 minute show. Most shows are designed to be 2-2 1/2 hours with intermission. I can't imagine the shows being good with that much cut out.

Bottom line basically comes down to "you to you boo". If you are one who wants multiple outfits per day (even besides what you're wearing at night for dinner) and that works for you, great. If you're one who is fine in the same outfit each day and changes for dinner but with things you can mix and match, great. Neither is definitively right or wrong. It's all about what works for you. For me, less is more and I'm almost always in carry-on only even when I can take a ride to the port (or the unlikely event I fly Southwest (super bad experiences with them all things that were their choice) again - I'm not packing more just because it's included in the flight or no charge if taking a car). I think that's as much a function of my parents' "You bring it, you carry it" rule that they instilled in me. I never want to have more than I can personally handle on my own. But that's me. Obviously that doesn't work for everyone. And that's ok.
