lucymorgan Posted June 11, 2017 #26 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Yes, Anthem has freestyle machines and there is Seagram's Diet Ginger Ale. Machines are in Sorrentos, one on either side of the Windjammer and one in the Seaplex by the hot dog place. Thank you for the info :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxyB Posted June 11, 2017 #27 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Night 2 was Formal on our 5 nighter last month. Not everyone dressed in Formal, almost anything goes as far as attire. Not as much as on sea days. Keep checking your Cruise Planner, some openings may show up within a week or two of your sail date. Also, you can make reservation immediately once on board with the Royal IQ app, which you should download at home, internet purchase not needed, just connect to Royal Wi-Fi, phone goes in airplane mode. IPads are by Guest Services on Deck 4 which anyone can use to make reservations or you can also go to the Royal Theater on Deck 4 immediately upon boarding and checking and see if they have any openings. Thank you for the awesome information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted June 11, 2017 #29 Share Posted June 11, 2017 We got back the day you boarded. People: please do all the online checking in including photo and cc. We arrived around 10:45 and got stuck behind people who had not done online check-in. I think they need to separate those who have and those who haven't. We were done so quickly because we had loaded a photo and everything. Love this ship! RE: the person who asked about NorthStar. We got notice that a reservation had been made for us but it conflicted with the top tier party so we wandered past the NorthStar the first sea day and ended up being able to go standby for the next trip up. So that worked out nicely. We had not been able to reserve this before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted June 11, 2017 #30 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thank you! You're welcome :) Thank you for the awesome information! You're welcome :) Forgot to add and someone else just indicated, if all else fails, you can also try going on North Star and Ripcord/IFly as stand-by. We were able to go on North Star on stand-by quite a few times, our longest wait was 20 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loupana Posted June 11, 2017 #31 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Is this a 9 night? If it is, will you be able to post the daily compasses? Have a great trip! I'm on Anthem right now and I'm scanning the cruise compass daily. I will post all of them on the 16th once we have them all. If I forget I will get them online the 17th when we return.

Are the bumper cars available daily & what are the times? Appreciate the info as this is one new RCL activity for us. Thx! Sent from my iPad using Forums Bumper cars are not available every day since the Sea Plex is shared with other Activities throughout your sailing, e.g. roller skating, basketball, trapzee, etc. I found on embarkation day, right before the Muster drill is the best time to ride them without a wait.

Rare babs135 Posted June 11, 2017 #35 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Re drinks. What do you mean by freestyle machines? And, although I'm not a big drinker I do like to drink on holiday. Would you think the drinks package is worth it? I've had a look and think it is very expensive. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you think the drinks package is worth it? I've had a look and think it is very expensive. Thanks Coke Freestyle machines are soda machines that are activated by a special cup with an RFID chip in the base. These cups are included in the drink packages. The freestyle machines have over 100 flavor combinations of soda in them plus Vitamin Water, Powerade, Hi-C and other non-carbonated drinks. http://www.coca-colafreestyle.com/ They are popular because there is so much variety in them. These machines are also in fast food restaurants in the US and now other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirazcruiser Posted June 11, 2017 #37 Share Posted June 11, 2017 If you're dining in Coastal Kitchen, could you please post the menus? We've sailed on Allure, however, at that time there were only 2 menus - Harvest & Vineyard. We're sailing in September to Bermuda & Canada. Thanks!

On our cruise ths past April, if you didn't do on line check in you had to get in line and check in the old way, those who did online check in went to the staff with the iPads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to go on a separate line even if we are Diamond? We planned to have our photos taken during checkin at the port. Everything else will be done on line.

Rare mizLORInj Posted June 11, 2017 #40 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) What if you do on line check in except for uploading photos? Do we need to go on a separate line even if we are Diamond? We planned to have our photos taken during checkin at the port. Everything else will be done on line. MARAPRINCE Adding the form of payment holds it up too. We saw people having to add their credit cards with the agent. All of this slows down the check-in process. So having both the photo and form of payment done definitely moves things along. That's what I noticed this time around anyway. I want to expedite the process and get my butt onboard! :cool: One of us took a photo with their iphone and uploaded that photo to use. The check-in agent will take your picture too if you prefer. OR you can go through Security first and then go to your respective tier level check-in counter. Won't necessarily be quicker that way though. Edited June 11, 2017 by mizLORInj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnheather Posted June 11, 2017 Author #41 Share Posted June 11, 2017 How many nights is your cruise? I am on Anthem later this year for 5 nights and my wife said she read there isn't a formal night. Can you or someone else please confirm or deny this? We're on a 9 day, I'm sure it will have a formal night, but the specialty restaurants you can dress up as much as you want to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyster Posted June 12, 2017 #48 Share Posted June 12, 2017 First, I hope you are enjoying your cruise! I do have a question...I just recently learned that Anthem has an indoor pool. I know about the solarium, but apparently there is a indoor pool too. My question does it just have a roof over it? Is it enclosed like any other indoor pool? Last question...is it a heated pool? It's probably nice and warm right now, but I'll be sailing at the end of September on a New England/Canada cruise. Just wondering if I have more than one pool option :- ) Thanks in advance!

slyster Posted June 12, 2017 #50 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Based on other 9 night anthem cruises, I heard formal night is nights 2 and 8. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
