Still no luck?

No 😞 

I have a large group and really don’t want to get balcony rooms for 2 people. 
I’ll keep trying.

I received a postcard from Club Royale, you can check your offers also . The website is 

clubroyaleoffers.com, you might have different offers.  

I know a lot of our schools are off that week.  I would still check every so often.

I tried that too. 
I will keep trying. Don’t know what’s going on.

Why not just call and book your cruise?

I tried that already

What happens if you try for 4 people.  Make the 4th a child and have them be a no show ???

Tried that too 😕 

It shows available but it doesn’t let you book it.

What website are you using?

I just checked an online TA and also the Royal website and both offered a variety of Inside and Balcony rooms for three people.

I used the RCCL website. Then I checked on Expedia. I also called Club Royale. 
 

So strange..

My search was for Anthem 2/19/23 from Jersey. 
 

I’m trying to book a room on the Anthem 2/19/23 but they won’t allow more than 2 people per room. I know they have rooms that fit more than 2 because balconies and suites are still available. Does anyone know why they’re doing that?

Day 3 MDR

 

Duck Confit crispy on the outside and a bit dry on the inside but it’s still better than the duck I can cook at home.

Once you go Peking, you never go back. 😕

So I was looking at the dining plan for our upcoming cruise. When I select our family it correctly does $0 for our 3 year old but charges for the 4 year old. (ages are at time of sailing)

 

Is there a way to check the birthdates listed on the reservation to make sure they are correct? Has anyone else run in to this?

Not sure if this applies to you but it looks like they will adjust it on board.

Day 2 MDR 

I’m pleasantly surprised that they have escargot in the MDR. On NCL, you can only get it at their speciality French restaurant, Le Bistro. 

Benny, not sure if you’re traveling with kids, but I have a 14 year old and I heard that there’s a Teen Meet on Day 1 at 7pm. Do you know if this is still going on? 

Benny, thanks again for doing this virtual cruise for us. I’m sailing in two weeks and looking forward to everything you’re posting!

NNJ - Hudson County.  It’s becoming more like NYC everyday!

Hey neighbor- right across the river from you. I’m in lower Westchester. I wanted to get on at Bayonne, but nothing available so I’m heading to Miami in two weeks. 

Hi Fellow Cruisers,

Im traveling with a group of 13 to Miami from NYC in 2 weeks. We are heading on a RCL OOTS. Debarkation is typically early and my flight out of Miami is 8pm. We still have time to explore South Beach, but what do we do with all that luggage? Anyone have any ideas?

I was watching a blog on YouTube and this person said RCI uses frozen sushi for some of their rolls. Frozen then defrosted would definitely change the texture.

 

Most sushi/sashimi comes from previously frozen fish to kill potential parasites.

sorry - just noticed someone said the same thing and I can’t figure out how to delete my comment

@BennyBrunyou’re awesome! Thank you so much for all this info and your photos are fantastic. Have fun! I’m obviously following!

Where is your cabin? 

 

Where is your cabin located? 

Deck 12 mid ship - connecting OV balcony 

I was wondering what this was.. 

Orders cancelled up to two days before the sail date would get full refund. Anything after would be an onboard credit.

Also, the $250 CruiseFirst doesn’t apply to Sail Away rooms. 

Round 1:

Eggs Benedict/veggie and cheese omelet/2 eggs over easy

fried tomato 

At least 5 slices of thin, crispy bacon 

2 sausage links

hash brown/fries

toast with butter 

toasted bagel w salmon, cream cheese, capers

2 cups of coffee to wake up 

Round 2: 

another slice or 2 of crispy bacon

pancakes/waffles w chocolate or fruit

Glass of OJ to wash everything down

Great thread!

I'm trying to lose weight by Feb 19th. I've cut carbs out of my breakfast and lunch. Eat a hard boiled egg for breakfast and my coffee is black with two sugars (no milk). Lunch is a Dole chopped salad mixed bag. They have a variety of flavors and for me it's 2 servings in a bag although suggested servings are 3 - pfff. It's only $5 per bag so I'm spending $2.50 a day for my lunch at work. I also like unsweetened tea and water throughout the day. When I get home, I eat a regular home cooked meal. Also, I reduced my alcohol intake and only drink 1 day a week a wine or two (or three [emoji51]).

I don't have a sweet tooth so no problem in that department. I just love savory foods..

When it's my day off (Sunday or Monday), I enjoy a hearty breakfast or brunch with bacon, omelet, sausage, crusty french bread, etc..

Holiday weight: 155-157 at night

Current weight: 150 in the morning

Goal: 143 - my weight before I got married.

Image goal: lose my gut and back fat. (I don't want to see back fat in photos lol)

First of all, this thread is adorable, and you totally have me rooting for you and your man. Secong, I unequivocally think that you made the right decision. I am always one for sailing different line (as you can see from my signiture) and trying different ships (and even different types of vacations- not just cruises. I just got off the Gem on 1/27 though and I am already considering booking the exact same cruise for December. This is HIGHLY unusual for me, as I generally do not cruise for two vacations in a row, let alone the same exact line and ship! In my opinion though, the Gem is the perfect size, with the perfect mix of available active v. relaxing features. It was fantastic for everyone from my very small children (5, 3, 6mo.), to my nearly 60 year old parents. The specialty restaruants make it feel more like a Resort Dining experience, and are worth every penny to me.

 

Have a blast! Maybe you'll get married onboard in a few years ;)

I was just looking through my history on cruise critic and noticed your comment! Guess what! We did get married Nov 2015!
