Last April, flew home from MCO with my niece who does not have TSA pre check because she is young and only flew 3 times in her life. So I stayed with her to get thru security. Took 1 hour and 45 minutes!! Needless to say, we had to run from security to the tram and from the tram to our gate to make it with 5 minutes to spare before plane door was shut. And yes, we did the whole arrive 2 hours ahead of time! However, DH decided he would go thru the TSA pre check line anyway and was through in 15 mins!

We did Oasis in May 2022 out of Cape Liberty. Had to be on by 2 pm on embarkation day. And they were already disembarking by 7:15 am and wanted everyone out of state rooms by 8 am on debarkation day.

We never needed a water package with the refreshment or deluxe beverage package. We also get the water at the bars and take them back to our room and place in fridge. By mid week we have a surplus and don’t need to worry about it for a couple days

Same thing happens on our Wonder cruise with the unlimited dining package

Depends on the port and what they have to offer for excursions

We were on anthem in March and our 28 inch hard side Samsonite suitcase did not fit under the bed. It’s the first time that it didn’t on any of our cruises.

I would do Portside BBQ. We had sooooo much food and we have decided next time we will share a big platter and just get an extra side or dessert. Food was delicious! And they had live country music when we were there. The burnt ends were and the banana dream were my favorites!

Manhattan cruise terminal is $45 a day, so $30 is still better!

Thanks for the responses!

We have booked the UDP for our upcoming Wonder cruise. With the UDP we can not make dining reservations until we board the ship and we know we have to go as soon as we get on to have the best chance of getting the days and times we want. So for anyone who has been on the Wonder, will we be able to get the Mason Jar brunch on day one without having a prior reservation? Thanks in advance!

I still have $260 pp for my December WOS

So after reading your review so far, you convinced us today to book the Wonder for December😄

Yes

They will put a letter in your cabin along with a map. The letter will state what day bed is assigned to you. Then when you are at coco cay, you will check in and they will escort you to your day bed.

Sailed Oasis in May 2022. No issues for us. I guess if you like the nit pick, you will find something that may need a little attention. My husband raves to everyone about our Oasis experience.

I second Blue Heaven, food is delicious, especially the banana bread! Have a great cruise. We hope to be on Wonder in December 🤞🏻

Nobody checked our check in time for our 3/12 cruise on Anthem. We arrived at 9:30 and out check in time was 10. We walked right in and we were on ship around 10:20. May 2022 on Oasis out of Cape Liberty, no one checked out time either.

We were on this same sailing and agree with your opinion of the food and how it didn’t feel like over 4000 passengers. We did hear from staff that there were about 1100 kids in the cruise. Again didn’t seem like that! Our cabin was on deck 12 forward near adventure academy and we never heard any kids! And our parking, embarkation and debarkation all went without any issue!

Before your cruise!!

We too just got off Anthem on 3/19. It was the quickest parking we have ever done prior to a cruise. And, the quickest we ever got out of a parking garage from a cruise. And as others stated, $25/day. It was like a bargain after all the cruises we did from Manhattan which as of March 2022 was $40/day!

@Tree_skierThank you!

We have 2 cruises coming up that we only booked this week. For both, MTD was booked up so we had to take the late seating (early was booked up in one but available on the other, but just too early to eat for us). Has anyone had success in getting this changed either before the sailing or upon embarking to MTD?

Precruise pricing has always been the cheaper than buying on ship on embarkation day from our experiences. But saying that, they still are not cheap!

We were on same sailing. Never asked for them. They were placed in our room everyday by our room steward. And, we were expecting housekeeping only once a day, but our cabin was serviced 2 times a day.

I just tell them day 1 upon boarding about my certain nut allergy and it seems to follow me to all the restaurants, so they must mark it in the system.
