There was another thread about this on this forum or another and they posted a picture of the “bad table” where all the contraband was. Some also stated that anything with a multi plug could be confiscated. I do sail with the blocks and multiplug adapters and I personally had no issues. However it’s something to keep aware of.

I would be careful about bringing these all-in-one blocks on board. I have heard that they (cruise terminal) might confiscate them. I had a nice conversation with RCL about this, and since they are a 3rd party and don't work directly for RCL you might get some mixed results (even though they are RCL approved). My recent cruise I bought several different types, some in my luggage, and some in my carry on - all had no issues. However again, your results could vary. Just be sure you don't bring anything that appears to be a corded surge protector. Regardless if its not a surge project or a power strip, they will take it from you.

I am on Anthem as well, and we are cruising along at a nice and healthy 20+ knots. We are also near some storm too, so its a bit rocky at the moment.

I will be boarding on the 19th, so I will let everyone know as well. However I just received word for the Suite Concierge: "The current information is that we are going according to schedule, no itinerary change has been communicated ."

This is going to be an interesting cruise… 😞 I highly doubt they would let me get access to the wireless controller too… oh well.

Its not, but I wanted to know how much would people would tip in general.

Since Star class includes gratuities, I am just curious how much you would tip extra to the genie? The family and I never took star class (only sky), and even though we won't use a lot of the benefits (don't drink, don't mind the MDR/Costal, etc), I wouldn't mind trying it at least once.

Back to the topic of the original OP. My wife just saw a FB post that someone called RCL, and it was stated Florida will be skipped for the 3/19 cruise as well. I don't have any other information other than that. Current tracking puts Anthem running at 19 knots back to Bayonne.

The authentication is based on the mac address. You will need to logout, switch off the randomized mac, and then sign on again to test out the theory.

Possible... mac address masking/spoofing could cause issues, and the iPhone has the setting turned on by default. The mac address is unique and tied to a particular device. If a lot of people have this feature turned on, and it seems to be required for authentication... there might be a possibility of a duplicate or just issues in general.

I am on the 19th cruising, and I have not received any emails. Maybe they are hoping they can repair it along the way or at the Bayonne port.

There will always be some sort of market for smaller cruise ships as not everyone likes those massive vessels. However as others have pointed out, its possibly cheaper to have more people on a bigger ship than a small ship. In has to be some type of balance point.

When the sales were in full swing and things were a lot cheaper - I had to pick between a 2 bedroom GS or a 2 bedroom ATS. In the end, I opted for the the 2 bedroom GS mainly for the noise aspect of it all, and the price. I don't mind the shows, and maybe it wouldn't be that loud, but I am a very light sleeper/napper and the slightest noise would bother me. Also, I know it would be a difference in "class" - sky vs star. That didn't bother me either since I wouldn't really use most of the benefits that star has to offer (ie don't drink, we like the MDR/Costal, etc). To each their own though...

I see on cruise mapper that it hit 19 knots... hopefully this is a good sign as it was only doing 17 knots going down from Bayonne before.

I have received an upgrade in the past however that was during the 2021 season when people didn't sail that much yet. Usually I never get upgraded, and I just pick the room I want before hand. I upgrade if I have the money or there is some sort of availability of a better cabin.
