  1. Glad you're having a great cruise. We're considering an Anthem cruise next year. Could you confirm whether there's a mini golf course on board? There doesn't appear to be one looking at the deck plans but on the RCI website it specifically lists mini golf on the "things to do" section.

     

    I've read numerous times about website problems, but it seems crazy if they're listing an option that doesn't actually exist!

    No mini golf.

    They have bumper cars, trapeze and roller skating.

  2. In May on the Oasis our room steward gave us new 4 new tubes of gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion every day.

    So when I went on the Anthem in September I saved luggage weight and didn't pack any...there was not one tube in my cabin. I was able to get some but I had to ask the cabin steward each time I ran out....

    I was hoping someone on this sailing would post for those of us who have 2 weeks to wait...9/14/17

     

    Cruise compass pictures would be awesome!!!

     

    Thanks for taking the time to share with us anxiously waiting for 2 weeks to pass.

  4. The answer is no on bringing non diamond cruisers. On the Freedom a couple years ago my adult children were diamond...banking off my points...and I had enough to be diamond in the middle of the cruise. I asked if I could come in with them the last half of the week when I achieved diamond status and they said absolutely not.

  5. In the daily newsletters there are instructions for the tender port the next day

    Follow the instructions & you will be fine

     

     

     

     

    What experiences has anyone had with the Anthem in Bar Harbor?

    Is it a madhouse and what's the earliest you're arrived ashore with a private tour?

  6. Nine of us will be sailing on the Oasis of the Seas in 3 weeks, all first time cruisers,and I am getting nervous and feeling overwhelmed, so this board has been awesome! A few questions. Would it be wise to bring a few snorkel sets or is it better just to rent them as needed? Are we allowed to bring snacks from the restaurants back to the cabin, just to have odd snacks on hand with so many kids? Thanks! Any and all advice is welcome!

    Relax no need to be nervous. Oasis is a great ship!!! We sailed her in May.

    There are so many things for the kids to do. Take a high lighter and each night before bed when your cruise compass /your guide to everything...arrives for the the next day high light the activities you want to do and carry it with you. Watch for the children's activities on the Boardwalk especially if your kids are younger.

    Feel free to ask other questions to calm yourself and have a great cruise!!!!

  7. Hi, kevdad! Our son is 12 and this is the program they left in our room. I realized when I got home that this seems to be only for 15-17 year olds. There is another live thread right now. Maybe they will be willing to post that program for you. I even knew there were two programs back in March when we were on Freedom, but it slipped my mind while on Oasis. I was definitely in vacation mode :D

     

     

     

    Here is a link to mchin's current semi-live review:

    We sailed the Oasis may 7-14 last month. I'm surprised at how different your cruise compass activities were in such a short time.

    Different movies,trivia themes etc.

  8. 3 weeks ago I was very disappointed with the diamond line. It took at least twice as long to go through security screening as the regular line. I only saw diamond which had one screener and the regular line which had 8 screeners...

    My advice skip the diamond and stick together. Also the attendant in the diamond line was sarcastic.
