No, you can use your phone. Simple and no waste of printer ink.

I would say a ship like Grandeur or any vision class is probably more suited for a Mediterranean cruise where the itinerary is more port intensive and you are really mostly on the ship during dinner and evening shows but for Caribbean or Bahamas cruises that tend to have more sea days and more relaxing in general I need a bigger ship with the bells and whistles.

Formal night for me on a cruise ship is the equivalent of business casual. I will wear khakis and a polo shirt. Every other night it is Shorts and T-Shirt for me in the MDR, yeah I said it, shorts and T-Shirt.

The rule for the soda package is it does not include canned soda. Now not all bartenders follow that rule but if a bartender refuses to give you the can it is because the rules for the soda package indicate canned sodas are not included.

I had one from Cafe 270 on Anthem and it was decent. I was not wowed by it but it was not terrible. As a quick grab for lunch it is ok.

Thank you all for the responses. Most likely we will be booking it but will wait a week before doing it in case any black friday deals come up that drive the price a little more down.

I was in an ocean view room on Deck 3 and while there was some noise late night it did not bother me or my wife and kids. Of course that is just my experience and maybe that could bother others. I liked where we were because of the fact we were close to a lot of the action from our room. MDR was close by, could easily in the mornings take a quick walk to get Starbucks from La Patessiere or a late night bite at Sorrentos. I do not gamble but if you do the casino is right there. For me I liked it because I would grab a few cans of water from there quickly before bed to take back to the room.

Might be looking to book a 9 night cruise on Liberty of the Seas in May out of Bayonne (Bermuda, Labadee Haiti and a couple DR stops). Never been on this ship or class. How is the Solarium? From the pics I am feeling a bit underwhelmed by it especially after just being on Anthem. How are the pools in general? Do the kids like the splashzone area (kind of looks like a version of what they have at CocoCay from the pics). How is the food on this ship in WJ and MDR. What is the nightly activity like? Never been to Labadee, is the lunch provided similar to what you get at Coco Cay which I enjoyed.

I did North Star for free during the port Canaveral stop. It was really good. Definitely worth doing for free if you can during a port stop, not sure I would pay for it during sea days. Don't know anything about the late night activities as we were back in the room by 10-1030 each night (picking up the kids from adventure ocean by 10PM each night) Overall the nightly entertainment was decent. They only had one comedian which was late night towards the end of the cruise so did not see him, wish they had more comedians.

$100 OBC for Inside or Oceanview rooms $125 OBC for balcony rooms $200 OBC for Suites And $25 each for 3rd or 4th guests. We got $150 OBC since we were in Oceanview room and had our 2 kids with us.

Honestly most hotels and cruise ships have terrible beds to begin with anyways.

If Royal could stop at Port Canaveral by 8AM then KSC would be great to do but with what time they arrive you have so little time for KSC it is not worth it. Going to Disney when you factor in the time it takes to get there and back is not worth it. Cocoa Beach is decent so that could be worth it if you never been before. Honestly I would say just look at the stop as another sea day. That is what the majority do.

We were on this cruise as well. Our original plan was we were going to get back on the ship once this was done to drop off our passports and kids birth certificates and then go out in Miami for a little beach time and some lunch and shopping (figuring it would be done by 10:30AM based on what the time frame was) but with everything that happened by the time we got back on the ship it was already 1:30PM so we ended up just staying on the ship since there really would not have been much time and we were hungry. We did not want to take our passports and kids birth certificates with us into town because you never know and those are the last things we would want to lose. This was such a mess, there were old people who needed medical assistance, I heard a child suffered a seizure, there was a potential near riot when a large group were chanting "refund, refund, refund..."

I forget the dude's name who was playing piano at Schooner Bar but he was very good, I remember he was from Sheffield England. We checked him out a couple times. He basically played there almost every night. I want to say it was The Dukes who played at Music Hall but that may have been towards the end.

Sorry, I do not know the answer to that one.

He was not on my cruise as far as I am aware.

Yes

No, we had 10:30AM check in time and we got there at that time and there was a dude basically saying anyone can come on board regardless of check in time. It was pretty quick to get on board.

There was no aerialists for Spectra's Cabaret. I thought the show was ok, started strong but then really dragged on.

There was no brunch menu. MDR has 2 types of breakfast. One side was ala carte off their menu and another side was a small buffet. They also had lunch in MDR on sea days. We did it one time and I got Mediterranean Lamb Pita which was great!

I enjoyed the food in MDR, Escargot appetizer is really good. Lobster night of course was great. We ended up staying on ship for Port Canaveral. I would say 85% of the people did as well.

I just did Anthem of the Seas 8 day cruise from 10/29 - 11/6 out of Bayonne which had stops in Port Canaveral, Coco Cay, Nassau and Miami. Feel free to ask me whatever questions you have about the ship. Some notes. 1) I had ocean view room so if you want to know about balcony level or above I am not the person to answer. 2) I did not purchase VOOM internet plan so no answers for that. 3) I did not purchase Unlimited Dining Plan and I did not eat in any specialty restaurants so no answers for you on those. 4) I did purchase the Deluxe Beverage Package so I can answer plenty on that!!!! I will simply say other than the long hiccup that occurred with the immigration process in Miami this was a great cruise.

I do not know, I have never purchased dining package.

Does your set sail pass say DX (assuming you got Deluxe)? If so then you good.
