Who did you call? I called shore excursion dept. and they told me IT had to fix itinerary problem first before I could book. 

I called C&A line for assistance since I figured the Black Friday specials would be going quickly

My CP was giving me an error too, so I just called in and was told South Beach cabanas for the 12/5 Anthem sailing were sold out, so I booked an Oasis lagoon.

Cathy,

We're sailing on Anthem 12/5 in our first GS, so I'll be watching your progress closely- good luck!

For those who previously purchased  the at home test kits, were the screening questions about why you are purchasing the kit in place at that time, or have they been added since Royal's announcement? 

Since there wasn't an option for pre-travel testing to leave the US as required by CDC, my order was ineligible at this time.

One year on Celebrity's Summit for Thanksgiving, we docked in St. Thomas for black Friday, and were able to get most of Xmas shopping done....

I usually enjoy the hot rock option with beef myself, and I'm a very picky eater, so this allows DH to enjoy their sushi menu.

Include permission to sign onboard waivers for activities in the parental permissions that are notarized.

Have a great trip!

Grand Marnier soufflé 

YEEESSSSS!!!

I loved this a few years ago on Enchantment, and haven't seen it in years, despite actively looking for it. Which ships have you been blessed with it? That's the precise reason I opened this thread- hoping to find out where this has been hiding....lol...

13 is in the teen club which operates a bit differently than AO.

You can find more info on the family board about both teen club and AO, but if I recall, teen club splits into 2 age groups 13-15 and 16-17 or something there abouts, and has their own compass with activities and a space for hanging out with video games, etc.

Definitely encourage your great niece to check it out on the first night when people tend to meet and make friends.

just be sure to book for your earliest port opportunity. We had waited until the one of the last ports we had, and the weather didn't cooperate and our excursion was cancelled sadly.

The last time I did it the limit was 1 check for $200 during a cruise. If you have an Amex card its $250. One other thing is that will also cash travelers checks in larger amounts.

We used traveler's checks in 2015 for our med cruise, but the ship also had a limit on how much they would cash onboard of these per cruise, too- it was higher- like maybe $1,000 or $1,200 per cabin.

Have you even asked the nephew if he wants to join you in the DL? Our 15yr old (who is D+ due to my status but D on her own sailings) often prefers to just hang with friends in the teen lounge or our cabin, and just meet us for dinner.

I do not see Escape Room listed as an activity.  I am sailing on Anthem in Nov.  Is it ever possible to signup online?  Thanks

 

Sorry first time cruiser

 

They do appear in the activities section of the cruise planner, but I wasn't able to catch them there for our sailing, so that's why I ended up at the box office on day 1. If you are checking for your other entertainment, you might get lucky and find them pop up for your sailing.

have a great cruise.

On Anthem, I went to the Music Hall to make the reservations I couldn't get online for the Escape Room and to also release some times for our group's Ifly when they understood what it was, and said they only wanted to watch and not do it themselves, so I wanted to make those times available for others to book instead of having to wait in the standby lines.

then I met up with our party for lunch and we headed to bumper cars and then the muster drill before sailaway.

so glad it work out- have a great cruise!

Here's a real life story from November-

my  in-laws were flying from Albuquerque to NJ to board Anthem for the thanksgiving week cruise to join us for the 8 night sailing departing on Saturday to celebrate Fil's 70th birthday, and they were flying in on Friday with a connection in Denver. Their initial flight had a mechanical issue so it was delayed and caused them to miss their connection, but then due to a huge storm that had hit on Thursday, all the flights to the upper East coast on Friday and Saturday were full as the airlines were recovering from the storm.

Then due PSVA, even though the ship stopped in Port Canaveral on Day 3, they could not board there, and had to fly to our first international port which was Nassau on Day 4 to join the cruise (which they did and were able to enjoy the 2nd half of the cruise).

I'd definitely continue to work with both the airlines and the booking agency to find a resolution you're comfortable with on this.

good luck!

Looking forward to reading, and Go B's!!!

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but if you try to use some of the CL perks and the 8 yr old GS isn't officially in the cabin, that might be an issue, since you could have chosen to pay to add him so he could have the perks....

how old is the GD?

It was offered on our recent 5 Brilliance  Western Caribbean sailing, but we didn't make it, so I can't comment on the attendance or music selections.

Just got it! Yeah

I'm trying to set up this app for a sailing this weekend, and it seems to be recognizing my login from the RCCL site, but then I can't get to the sign in button (e.g., I can't the keyboard to disappear on my phone so I can click sign in). Is there a secret that all the more tech-savvy people know?

TIA

If you have the cabin info and names for everyone in your party, one person can set up the reservations for the group. 

I went to the music hall right when we boarded for the Thanksgiving cruise and was able to book 8 of us into a single escape room session- it was a lot of fun!

The fact you had connecting cabins is what made your arrangement “compliant”

I was reading the PP who indicated that not your kids had to have an adult in the cabin....,which we didn't.

Interesting- we sailed Harmony in April 2017 with DD and her friend in connecting PR cabin with no issue. Not sure if this rule was in effect at that time.
