Mobility scooter hire on Anthem of the Seas?
Sunshine3601 replied to Frapaccino's topic in Royal Caribbean International
https://www.specialneedsatsea.com/ this is who we used for a sailing out of Cape Liberty Their pricing was better than some of the others but never hurts to shop around. Clouds of Goods is another I see a lot of passengers use. Easy to check out prices online. -
RCCL transportation to New york airports.
Sunshine3601 replied to COCKYMARK's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I personally have not used but had friends that did arrange with guest services onboard Anthem. The cost to Newark airport (EWR) was either $28 or $30 / per person and shuttle left port somewhere between 8:30 to 9:00 am -

They do offer a shuttle bus to EWR, not sure about other airports. They only offer the shuttle if your flight is after 12 pm -
Are you picking a paint color for the cabinets or the walls? If painting the cabinets for now, I like Ice Cube or your Heron Plume, something with a light grey would go well with the countertop. I understand not wanting to lose the countertop but would strongly consider replacing those '80's style cabinets in the near future. Maybe they can reface them or salvage the countertop if able to remove it without damaging it.

Yes, Diamond members get 1 day free (24hours). With most sailings out of the US leaving port between 4 and 5 pm we usually skip buying internet on boarding day, then DH and I use our free day(s) depending on port schedule. The onboard cost a week ago on Anthem was $25.99 for 1 device per day.

You can purchase internet (Voom) on cruise planner prior to boarding. IF you need only 1 device the price has been running around $18 or $19/day but must purchase for the entire cruise if bought on cruise planner. Black Friday sales in November usually offer the best price for extras such as internet and drink packages. If you do Not need internet every day and want to wait until middle or towards end of your cruise you could save yourself some money and buy onboard. If your sailing is port intense, most European sailings are, then you may not want to purchase the alcohol package (deluxe beverage package) you may be better just paying as you go. The usual breakeven is anywhere from 5 to 7 drinks per day. You could purchase the refreshment package that gives you bottled water, speciality coffees, fresh squeezed juices and soda then pay for any wine, beer or cocktails as you go.

I have a blank sea pass card I got from guest services or DL Concierge and just use it every cruise.

Is Hideaway Beach Worth it? - CocoCay
Sunshine3601 replied to artvlay's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Many cruisers are saying it is very loud there with hardly anywhere to get away from the constant music/DJ with lots of bass. -
Casino free cruises with friends
Sunshine3601 replied to Casino4me's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Book as you said then as others have said go to guest services and get spare keys. We have done this before with no questions asked. Do not ask to have names re-arranged/re-assigned as that is a red flag for the casino. -
Are motorized scooters allowed on the ships?
Sunshine3601 replied to pampaul's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My DH had a recent back injury and we rented a scooter for our cruise from: https://www.specialneedsatsea.com/ We found they had better pricing than others I shopped. They delivered the scooter to the cabin and we were able to get wheelchair assistance at the cruise terminal to get us onboard so he didn't have to do the long walk through terminal to the ship. I have heard they are able to arrange scooter pick up outside the cruise terminal but that seems to vary by cruise port. It is not easy to turn the scooter around inside a standard OV If possible book an accessible cabin it will be so much easier to maneuver the scooter than a standard OV. Plus easier to get in and out of the cabin door if by yourself. -
How bad is Cococay with 11000 people?
Sunshine3601 replied to Neosophy's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Same here. We have had some great days exploring the island. I think some people just get off the ship and walk around to shop or find a restaurant vs. leaving the port area and checking out what the island has to offer. -
As others have said prices vary with Uber and Lyft based on time of day, availability, demand, etc. That is odd that it would be $35 for a 5 min. ride, I would have thought it would be around $10 or $15 at most. Is there something going on in your area for St. Patty's Day today? That would bump up the prices. We usually compare the two when looking for a ride. We have found Lyft to be cheaper most times. i.e. Last Sunday when we needed a ride home from Cape Liberty cruise terminal Uber was $175 for the 1.5 hr ride and Lyft was $120 (both included tolls).
