    Parking at Cape Liberty

    in East Coast Departures

    Posted

    Hi, going on the Anthem on May 14th. Was wondering what most do for parking? We are driving there. So far I see that parking at the pier is $20. Any suggestions?

     

     

    Just clarifying that you know it's $20/day. Not $20 total.

    Trunk Bay with 5 ships in St Thomas?

    in St. Thomas/St. John

    Posted

    Ugh, I was afraid that would be the answer. The ship's excursion seems so much easier (ferry right from where we dock) than a cab to Red Hook.

     

    We're arriving on Anthem of the seas. Any problems/delays getting to red hook from where Anthem docks? If we arrive at 8, would it be reasonable to think we can catch the 9 AM Ferry? Is there any guarantee the ferry will have enough room for all who shows up?

     

    Thanks for advice on return trip. We'd def want to play it safe, so 2 pm sounds like the way to go. What time should we start looking for a cab back to the ferry?

    Will Trunk Bay be enjoyable with 5 ships in port in St Thomas?

     

    We plan to take Royal Caribbean's excursion that is basically a ferry to St John and then you're on your own. I'm concerned because the excursion start time is 10 AM, and with 5 ships in port, will Trunk Bay be packed by the time we get there? Are we better off NOT taking Royal Caribbean's excursion/ferry, and instead cabbing it to Red Hook as soon as we dock (8 AM)?

     

    TIA

    I took a photo of the lizards that hang out along the walk back to the ship and then I then acted like I was fumbling with my camera and actually took a picture of the pain I call an a$$.

     

     

     

    Here he is.

    That, sir, is truly an a$$

     

    I'm sorry things didn't go as planned but it looks like you still managed to have an awesome day!

    Does the Royal IQ app work on iPod touch/inactivated iPhones?

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    Update: couldn't get the Royal IQ on either of our old iPhone 4. Darn. But, I think it's more an issue that the phones are so outdated and not working.

     

    I forgot the reason I upgraded was because my iPhone 4 kept turning itself off. And my daughter's old 4 was only a 8 gb so not enough room to update the iOS (the current system is too old for Royal IQ.)

     

    I have one remaining hope... To load Royal IQ on DH's old iPhone 5. I can't remember his iTunes password as that phone is linked to his work email, so it'll have to wait until the weekend when he has time to help me.

     

    If that works, will give the inactivated iPhone 5 to my 9 year old when she's in Adventure Ocean, so she can text to say she's done & wants to be sprung. We don't want her signing herself out and walking around the ship alone.

     

    My 13 year old will have to use her real phone for the Royal IQ app and we'll be having a talk about the importance of leaving it in airplane mode with cellular data off, as well as not losing the phone!

    Anthem of the Seas Drink Package Sale

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    I have an email in to our TA to see if any additional confirmation can be found. I'm thinking now we should get 1 package now at the discounted rate and wait for the other. We have enough OBC to get 1 premium package at the discounted rate to it really makes no difference if we get one of the two now.

     

     

    Makes sense to pull the trigger on one package now. Maybe even both, with a plan to cancel one package prior to sailing if in fact the promotion is still running the week before you sail (rebook on board with obc.). By then, you should have feedback from other sailings as to whether the 20% off is being offered on board too.

     

    Other idea...maybe don't pre-pay your gratuities, then use obc to pay for gratuities (instead of the drink package.).

    Teens in cabin together

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted · Edited by Mom.to.2

    Right, you can only "Supervise" the same amount as non related minors as there are related minors. So 1 teen of your own allows you 1 friend. You will have to book one parent with your teen and a friend, and one parent with the other .

     

     

    Agree with this. You must have one adult assigned to each cabin, because you have 2 unrelated minors traveling with you.

     

    Now, if all three minors were your own children, it would be no problem booking the kids together directly across the hall.

     

    Read this thread. Some of it doesn't apply to your situation, but enough does to be a cautionary tale. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1635089&highlight=denied

    Inside to a suite? No.

     

    Perhaps inside to an OV...maybe even a balcony.

     

    If RCL bumps you from inside to suite, they make 1 person happy. But, if they bump you to an OV, an OV to a balcony, a balcony to a JS, and a JS to a full suite, then they make 4 people happy.

     

    Makes more sense for a company to make 4 people happy, instead of 1.

    Actual Decrease in Drink Packages haha

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    Many people spend a lot of money not only on the cruise itself, but on flights, hotels, cruise tours, etc. Yet, judging from the posts I see on here, the most cause for concern are the prices of beverage packages. Which, by and large, are for those interested in alcoholic beverages - which do nothing for you really. Surely I can't be the only one that finds loads of humor and stupidity in this..

     

     

    People are excited to save money, period. Doesn't really matter whether it's on alcohol or on some other aspect of the cruise.

     

    If any of the items you listed (cruise fare, flights, hotel, tours) were to go on sale 20%+ off, I think you'd find equal concern to what you're seeing here about beverage packages.

     

    No humor or stupidity in saving money.

    Perhaps RCL isn't advertising the price drops more, to avoid tipping off guests that have already booked at full price and would cancel then rebook if they knew about the sale?

     

    Only those guests who are looking for information about the packages (and those on CC) will happen upon the discount, and the added incentive of 20% off might be the incentive they need to purchase.

    Does the Royal IQ app work on iPod touch/inactivated iPhones?

    in Royal Caribbean International

    The app should work fine on a deactivated phone. However, the app has to be downloaded, so I would assume some sort account is needed for the download site.

     

     

    Didn't think of that! Our old iPhone 4's are dead right now so I can't check whether I can access the App Store or not. I'll have to hope my kids know where the old chargers are tomorrow. Forgot our current charges don't fit the iphone4.

     

    So the assumption is if I can download the IQ app at home over Wi-Fi, we should be able to use it to text on board?

     

    Thanks!
