Just got off Oasis.  We loved the Osso Bucco, taglatelli bolonnese, minestone soup.

Funchal, Madeira Port Bookings (Correct as of 10/09/22)

A number of new RCCL bookings made in Funchal, both Anthem and Odyssey TA possibly, along with multiple Canary Island cruises on Anthem.

 

Anthem OTS - 5th May 2024

Anthem OTS - 10th June 2024

Anthem OTS - 12th September 2024

Anthem OTS - 24th September 2024

Anthem OTS - 6th October 2024

Odyssey OTS - 10th November 2024

 

Also, just to note that port of destiny for Odyssey is Cape Liberty, which could suggest that Royal is thinking about switching Anthem’s NY season with Odyssey. Obviously could just be a placeholder, but only time will tell!

I Don't see September, October or November 2024

being open yet.

That looks great!  I missed the announcement about the showcase … are they going to do it again on day 7?  It was one of those days where I did pretty much nothing 😆 … it’s the best kind of day !

Is JR's open for breakfast? Is it complementary?

Terry did a spectacular “Ave Maria” in the Christmas show on the 12/12-24 cruise!

We were there, not a dry eye.

   what is the name of the beach by the college in St Thomas?  Are there still food trucks around?

Thanks John :)

 

 

If you are in a GS or better, you can mske reservations in advance. Look for a letter from concierge the week before you sail. 

 

If Pinnacle or JS, you can make them after boarding.  Do it early on first day. 

 

There should not be a limit, but times do fill up

John,  I have a few questions about Coastal Kitchen.

  Can you make reservations for dinner in advance?

   If not, do you need to go to CK after you board to make them?

   Is it true they limit you how many nights you can eat there?

We are on Oasis when it comes to NJ.

Freedom doing 5 night Bermuda.

Of course, I'd love to help you out

Sorry it took me so long to get the Radiance block out.  We had 8 suitcases to unpack & a month of mail. 

The Radiance is in the original box.  Is the Mariner in the box?  Much safer when shipping.

How can we exchange addresses off this site?

Anthem Blocks

I have many Anthem blocks since we haven't been flying.

I have duplicates of Explorer and Jewel.  Also of Radiance however I believe John & LaLa are trading me a Mariner for my extra Radiance.

With that said, I need:

Harmony

Legend

Monarch

Sovereign

Splendor

Symphony

Voyager.

Does anyone have duplicates of the list above that wants an Anthem, Explorer or Jewel.  Please let me know.

Are you back from Anthem? I'm fine with the Radiance for Mariner trade.

 

 

Frank, Laura sails Freedom next week. Mathematically she should bring a block home.

So I hope to be able to make that trade for Radiance. 

 

Thanks

We are back today.  Do you still want to swap?

John& LaLa,

we get home tomorrow.  I still want to take.

Yes, do you still have a Radiance?

I believe I do.  Do you have a Mariner?  If yes, please hold it for me.  We are finishing packing now and off to bed.  Going on Anthem in the morning.

@cruzingduo did you ever find a Mariner?

I have not, do you have one to trade?

We are docking in Phillipsburg.  How far is it to go to Simpson Bay from the port?

I am looking for some oldies and would like to trade a Radiance, Explorer or Anthem for:

Mariner

Monarch

Sovereign

Splendor

Voyager

Hi all 

Haven't been on here for a while I am still trying to find a Legend of the seas and Radiance of the sea crystal block I have a Monarch or Splendor to exchange

I have a Radiance I would be willing to swap for a Splendor.  I also have an Anthem I would swap for the Monarch.

What exact date does she need a hotel room?  How many people including the baby?  What is her max budget?

 

She will need to book a car service from JFK to NJ and will need a car seat.  She will need a car service or Uber to Cape Liberty.  My first suggestion would be one of the more upscale hotels in Jersey City if they are within her target budget.  Next choice would be some of the better hotels at Newark Airport. 

 

Any other details or preferences would be helpful.

She is flyin in on 5-31.  She will be on the 6-1 cruise.  Thanks for the info about the car seat.  I had not thought of that..  Can you suggest an upscale hotel in Jersey City?  I don't think the cost is a big issue.  Which are the better hotels at Newark Airport?

thank you.

I have a friend flying into JFK with a young baby the day before her cruise on Anthem.    She needs a hotel, preferably upscale.  I need advice.  Is there a nice hotel near Bayonne that you can recommend.

I did a search on CC and read of many hotels with warnings, but I didn't see a suggestion for an upscale one that would make it easy for her to reach Bayonne the next day,

Her cruise is late May.
