Anthem of the Seas next week and we didn't book anything! Will we be introuble?

We booked this over a year ago and I had no clue we had to be conscious about making reservations for shows, North Star, etc prior to cruising. What can we expect in our situation?

Did you try to go online and book now? You may be able to get into some shows if you do it now.

Try to book any activities (North Star, etc.) as soon as you board if you can't do it online.

We booked mid- or late January for our March 5 Anthem cruise. We had vouchers for two specialty dinners but were told that because of the vouchers we couldn't make dinner reservations until we were on board.

 

As soon as we boarded we went to the maitre d' and booked our preferred time for dinner. We had been told the earliest time available was 8:30 when we booked the cruise; we got the 5:30 we wanted.

 

We figured out our schedule and decided when we wanted to do each activity. We booked Chops, Jamie's, Spectre's Cabaret, and the North Star on the app and got pretty much what we wanted when we wanted it. North Star in the early evening in San Juan was spectacular. The only thing we couldn't get was a clam shell in Cocoa Cay, but we found they weren't really necessary. We were fine with loungers and an umbrella.

 

And our cruise was fully booked.

 

Hope your cruise is as wonderful as ours was.

 

P.S. The only thing I'd be diligent about is lining up for tender tickets on Cocoa Cay morning.

Download the app ahead of time and do everything as soon as you board! No waiting in lines and there are spots reserved for on board reservations. I switched a few show/restaurant reservations and booked puzzle room as soon as we boarded last year with no issues.

The only thing we booked online was Northstar for our Oct. Cruise last year. Just walked into the shows, no problem.

Every time I went on the North Star (on both Anthem & Quantum), I just went when the line was short. I never made a reservation.
