I thought you had to bid 2 levels up. Are you in obstructed view or some other lower grade balcony?

Nope. It’s listed as the lowest option to bid on

Does anyone have mdr menus from a 5 Night cruise on the Getaway or any recent 5 night?

Trying to decide which night to do specialty dining. 

So just got upgrade advantage email. Booked in a balcony room. Should I bother bidding a low bid on club balcony on the off chance I get it? I know it comes with double sink, bigger shower/bathroom. Would it also get perks of snacks delivered to room, bottle of champagne, bag of laundry or not, since it’s an upgrade?

Just looking for opinions🙂

Just to be on the safe side, I booked a room on a different deck, but still near the elevators 😉

Thanks all for your opinions & suggestions.

Frankly, I have no idea. But it doesn't sound appealing to me.

My practice in choosing cabins is to stay away from anything public - not too close to stairs or elevators, not directly below the public areas (pool deck, sports areas, etc.).

Surely there must be other choices. Are most cabins sold out? How far out is the cruise?

The line does not necessarily show all available cabins online. If that is your situation, try calling and asking a rep for other options.

Yes, I agree about not being below public areas, but I always book room near elevators…never had a problem & very convenient location. This room is near elevators, but wasn’t sure about being near restrooms. Thanks anyway

Has anyone ever stayed in Balcony Room #8180 or similar, which is located right next to a public restroom? Just wondering if the stateroom would be more noisy or if there is a disadvantage to staying in that location?

Thanks in advance!

Would you recommend taking Heidi’s tour even if you have visited Bermuda several times before?

Bump

How far in advance can you make dining reservations for MTD in the cruise planner? 

Enjoying your live review very much! Thanks for taking time out of your trip to do it. Photos are much appreciated, especially of the food. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!☀️

Thank you so much for this review...we (family of 3) are going on our first cruise as a family and first one on Oasis. Sounds like it can get a bit crowded for some things, but not enough to ruin the fun. The one thing I caught that I had a different outlook on was the Solarium Bistro- you said it was also Adults only like the Solarium itself? I thought the bistro was open to everyone? We have dinner reservations for one night there and planned on at least one breakfast up there, but if its adults only we will simply make other plans. 

Though I haven’t been on the Oasis yet, the Solarium Bistro on Anthem of the Seas is open to all ages for dining. (Even though kids would need to walk through the Solarium to get there.)

Loved this review & your sense of humor!😄

What is the difference between a regular Cat BF Balcony room & a Club Balcony Suite?

Is it just that the Club Balcony Suite has double sink in bathroom, larger shower & possibly slightly larger balcony?

For anyone who has recently cruised on Anthem, I want to make lunch reservation at Jamie’s for embarkation day, but latest time available is 12:15 & we have an 11:00 wellness check time?

Do you think we will be on ship by 12:15 to make it in time for reservation??

Is Jamie’s open on embarkation day now?? On our previous Anthem cruises it wasn’t. Maybe something new??

Thank you for your informative review! I, for one, appreciate your honest opinion of the food & the photos! They are both very helpful! 
 

Thanks for posting your video! It brought back great memories of our first cruise with our children on The Gem 😊

One of the main shows on the Joy is Footloose.

We are a family of 3 & NCL gave our FCC to each of us in three different amounts on each of our Latitudes Accounts. Our two Cruise Next Deposits were put back in my husband’s Latitudes Account labeled Cruise Next Deposit, since they were originally purchased in his name.

He does have an account.   They become active and available at 18.    Call and get the number,  then set up the online account.   The credit is posted there.

As others said, you can create an account for him to view the credit. Also talk to your rep about transferring his credit to you if he won't be cruising.

Thank you both so much for your help!

If your son cruised with NCL before, then he should already have a latitude account.

If he does not, then you or your son can sign up for one.

 

As for the FCC, it does not go directly to the person that paid for the cruise but to all people listed on that cabin.

You are not the only one that have this problem. Many people decided to request for the full refund by filling out the form because of this reason.

Believe me, I would have asked for a refund if I could have, but we canceled our cruise before NCL did. So the only option we were offered was FCC. Ridiculous that the credits are all separate!

As far as I know, my son doesn’t have a Latitudes account. So if he signs up for one, then FCC will appear in his account?

My 19 year old son doesn’t have a Latitudes account because the one prior NCL cruise he went on with us was when he was only 10 years old or so. 

The FCC’s for our March 15th cruise that we canceled are in our Latitudes accounts.

Does anybody know where his FCC would be, other than on the email we received for him from NCL?

We booked through travel agent & I sent question to her, but she is on limited hours & next time she is working is tomorrow.

So irritated that this isn’t just one FCC for the amount I paid. My son didn’t pay for it & we don’t know if he’ll even be able to go with us next time. The week we booked in March just happened to work out.

Are there many Mini Suite with Balcony staterooms that are fully obstructed? 

Do you think there is a better chance of having a minimum bid accepted now with people possibly cancelling their cruises?

Where’s the adult beverage? 

This photo seems to have been taken in the Haven waiting area at the cruise terminal. I don’t think she’s on the ship yet, so no adult beverages 😉
