Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. my DW always takes dramamine equivalent daily on our cruises and never has a motion issue. I don't take them, but have once or twice had nausea. but we are certain that it was not motion related, but alcohol related.
  2. We followed a map that someone had put in the Bahamas page here non cruise critic. I will try to find it, but it was a while back.
  3. We have sailed 8 cruises post Covid on Royal. Things are different, but we still enjoyed every cruise we have had on Royal pre and post Covid. MDR menus have changed but we 3 have no complaints about the options. The muster has greatly improved post Covid. Specialty prices are up, but none of the ones we have attended were not worth our cost. Playmakers has been a great place to catch a game and food/drink. Only one time was it so busy that we had to wait a bit for food. When it showed up, it was great.
  4. We have been on Anthem several times and will be on her next week and in Feb 2024. We were in a Balcony (3 of us, DW & I ans Adult Son) in stateroom 11298. It was fine. We don't believe that any of out visits on Anthem have had bad rooms. They have been either Balcony of Jr Suites. Try to avoid the rooms with obstructed views and you will enjoy your cruise on Anthem.
  5. FYI. We are sailing next Sunday on Anthem and although the show times recently appeared in the app, each show (other than Spectra) says no reservations needed. Check your app ~ 10 days prior to sailing to see when the shows will be available.
  6. We took a walking tour that included the Queens staircase, the greycliff, the chocolate shop, and a few other tidbits. The staircase was a bit of a climb, but there are a few places on the way up to sit and recharge. My adult son and I never felt unsafe. It was 5 or 6 years ago, so I don't know what may have changed. We have gone to the Straw Market a few times over the years. The last time we got off in Nassau, we went to Sharkey's for the Conch Fritters. Have stayed onboard the last 4-5 stops.
  7. there is a family type pirate show on coco cay. no cost, cute but corny show.
  8. Our first RCL cruise was comped from a land based casino. Each of our subsequent RCL cruises have been comped by Casino Royale folks. We have only paid the port fees & taxes and occasionally an extra fee for a third guest (our DS). DW & I do enjoy gambling and despite some nice wins, we generally lose more than we win. All of our cruises on RCL have been comped and we are now DP340+ (all 3 of us). So, Yes, C&A points are granted for "comped" cruises.
  9. Thanks for the summary. We are on Anthem on Dec 10th. We are big fans of AotS and are glad that it seems to be still good. We are looking forward to returning. Love the WWRY show and we hear the new Spectra is good. If only the casino folks will be kind (and generous) to us this time.
  10. I also don't want to carry my phone around. Since they switched over, I have always just requested a paper one and got one daily with no issues. I also always request a paper menu in the MDR.
  11. In the past, we brought a folding fabric table in our checked bag. It doubled as a extra chair for our son.
  12. I always have AA and AAA batteries for my camera and other devices. I usually board from a port stop with my camera (4 AAAs) and another 4 AAAs in my pocket (spares). The only issue is when I forget to take them out before the scanner. I then put them thru the bag scanner, no issue. Also, OP, anytime we have cruised Royal in December, the tree and decorations are already put up on the promenade. Last cruise we were on over Thanksgiving, they put them up on the day after Thanksgiving and had a lighting of the tree (Very big tree)
