Going on the Bliss at the end of March. What is the lounge like? Cigarettes allowed in there as well? Often overcrowded? Foggy?

I'm hoping it's not as bad as I have heard. 

 

Thanks FranknBeans I'll definitely be bringing my own...

 

On a side note, do they have matches or lighters/torches? 

 

I will be going the first week of March. When I was on the Breakaway the cigars were good and they did have matches and cutters.

I have a friend with a situation. Her friend's  birth certificate says his name is Miguel and his driver license says Michael. We will be traveling in a closed loop cruise. Do you think there will be an issue? If so, how can it be fixed?

I will be traveling in March doing peritoneal dialysis in my cabin and I was told that a mini suite would be large enough for the machine and CPAP. Would you agree?

Also has anyone traveled on the cruise with dialysis machine..how did you get it on the ship? Please advise

I was surprised that the price went from 19.99 to 31.99 for the key. I called RCCL and the representative said he said that the 19.99 was a promotion. The 31.99 is the price for now. He said it is best to get it now because there will be a limited supply. If the price is reduced then you can cancel the previous keys and repurchased and the lower price. So tonight I saw them at 24.99 pp and I repurchased my keys. I am much happier. If it goes down again, I will repeat the process!!

I was able to get reimbursed by my union insurance.  It was considered out of network insurance.

The key program on my cruise planner says 19.95 pp pd. I was interested in the Voom package which is included the Key Program.. The Voom package is I believe the same price for 2 people so for me I think this would be something I would consider. Plus I feel with the price I get extra perks!

I would like to know if anyone has signed up for RCCL Key Program..if you so did you think it was worth it?

I would like to know if anyone stayed on either the sixth or seventh deck in a balcony and I was wondering if there were any issues...Also I would like to know if there were night lights outside on the balcony.

It has been predicted that the northeast could be hit with a Nor easter on Saturday. I am wondering could this delay cruises leaving New York, and New Jersey?

You would be best asking Dialysis of Seas. It is my understanding that this is only set up "as necessary". I would guess it would depend on the number of passengers requiring service.

Thanks for the info!!

David.....:cool:

This is my first time leaving from the Port of Bayonne to go on the Anthem of the Seas. I have a early check in time. How long does it take to go through Smart Check in and get on the ship?

David...………..:cool:

I would like to know if on the Anthem of the Seas how many beds are set up and his there any TV available during the treatment?

Thanks....

Have a wonderful time on the Anthem!!! We have been on a few ships that you have been on. I think you will love the Anthem!

I see what you are saying..and I agree with you. I normally don't go that way..so I was inquiring. I would like to save a few dollars if I can. So I will leave around 9am..that should give us plenty of time.

"Reverse" commute, is unlikely. Perhaps an accident may affect your travel, but leave with enough time to spare. You have all day (well, until 2:30 to board the ship). Why spend hundreds of unnecessary dollars, when you don't have to? Hotel room, parking, and meals equals $$$. Heck, you can leave home at 11am ....WAY past traffic time.....and get there easily, with time to spare. Just saying.

We are from Northwest, NJ.....so we travel WITH tons of traffic on route 80East...omg...to 287South....to 78East omg.....INSANE......bumper to bumper with NO accidents. We leave early (just in case) and have ALWAYS made it there with plenty of time to spare.

People would kill to be so close to a cruise port.

I am concerned about the traffic that we may incur because of the tunnel.

I would like to know if there are any hotels very close to the Port of Bayonne that someone could recommend?

I would like to know if Anthem of the Seas has a spa with a pool and steam rooms. If there is..how much for a seven day cruise?

We did the Oasis on Halloween last year and Taglovestocruise is correct. They had the same activities and also a best costume contest.There were some very creative costumes. The most popular costumes were pirates. I think they were leftovers from Disney cruises. We had so much fun we are going again on the Oasis this year!

hey,

I cruised with dialysis of the seas a couple of years ago

The dialysis part of the cruise went fine, exactly like the treatment I get at my clinic

The staff and Nurses were wonderful and everything was taken care of, all supplies were on board, they even had supplies in case of an emergency

 

The bad part. While they tell you that the treatments might be covered by your health insurance company, I am going to tell you, expect to pay for that yourself. Those treatments run $575-$700

 

The worst thing that I encountered was that I was charged FULL fare for my room and so was my brother who shared my room. YOU MUST purchase your cabin from Dialysis of the seas and there are NO discounts!!! The stinker was when my family member not only got a $250 spending vouchure while on board but Royal Caribbean lowered their fares by 30% and I did NOT get either discount from Dialysis Of The Seas

 

So, to some things up, great service, no problems with getting treatment, but it is expensive and you are NOT going to get any of the discounts everyone gets!!

I will be sailing in the end of October on the RCCL Anthem of the Seas and the representative that sold me the cruise told me that we were saving more money than what the cruise line was offering. As far as reimbursement for the cruise my union insurance will cover my dialysis 100%! Now my question to you is do you get a confirmation of what time your treatments are so that you can make reservations for dinner?

I will be on the Anthem of the Seas during Halloween. I was wondering if the cruise line does anything to celebrate the occasion?

I am traveling on the Anthem of the Seas and I have requested for low sodium menu. When I traveled on Norwegian they told me to let them know 24hrs in advance so that they can prepare the food. That also included the specialty restaurants. Is that what they do on Royal Caribbean?
