I was just there 4 days ago. The pool was heated and beach was nice. There were quiet places to be found, but you could also choose a loud place with no problem. The food differences are only that you can also have pizza and empanadas(if that is important to you).
We are on the Adventure. The first week Diamonds were excluded from the lounge during HH, but this week Pinns are allowed in the Suite lounge and Diamonds are allowed in the Crown. We will be on next week and I am sure it will be different again.
We had this same issue. We got the same “there will be a shuttle,” but it didn’t happen. After waiting and going back and forth asking about the shuttle, we just called an UBER.
The only thing that Celebrity matches is that you receive a free bag of laundry if you are a Diamond on Royal. The benefits don’t compare other than that.
Just arrived on the Adventure yesterday and our bags were at our door at 1:30. Fastest we have ever received them. We always print ours in color at home before arriving.
It was unexpected and a lot of fun. We were on a cruise where the Solarium Bistro was closed for the entire week making Kosher meals. We enjoy eating in there, but we’re unable to. We still had a great cruise.
We honestly have been on 3 TA’s in the last year and the Anthem was the very first time that we experienced a special “sail away”. I have never went to the Solarium prior to that for a “sail away”. Many other cruises last year without a sail away, so it was a treat.
