I hope this thread keeps grinding on because it's one of CC's best. The laughs just keep coming.You can't make this stuff up.We have sailed RCCL numerous times,and yes,I am one of those who loves fresh ground pepper,and have always had it offered. Sailing on Nov.27 on Anthem and looking forward to a couple of turns.:rolleyes:

as a seasoned royal cruiser ,I am absolutely mortified that they have taken away the pepper grinders(sarcastic)! What the hell is next,taking away the horse raddish when the prime rib is served.hang tough taste buds:cool::eek:

nice to know there is no water problems when boarding.we are sailing Nov.27th.last Nov. on Anthem we carried a 1gal. bottle each in our carry-on.of course security checked,but no problems.willbe doing it again.have a great cruise.

We are from Long Island.We might sound a little different,but us New YOWKERS got class and moxy.Cruised last Nov on Anthem and absolutely loved it. After sailing on the Explorer 10 times,and we miss it big time,Athem filled our Explorer void nicely.Can't wait for the Nov.27th cruise.Big changes happening,and it will be interesting to see how we all deal with it.Of course we New YOWKERS will have no problem.Fuggetaboutit! Have a safe and wonderful cruise everybody.:cool:

We will second that move.Would love to see a voyager or freedom class ship.Return to Cape Liberty. :)

We miss the Explorer too.Sailed her 10 x's,the last being the repo cruise where we got smacked by a 50 foot rouge wave that took out 2 life boats.Going on Anthem for a 2nd time on Nov27th.Don't really care about the weather,just love to cruise.Explorer had great personality and feel to her.We would love to see her back here.

we will be on the Anthem.must of had a senior moment:D

hello everybody.we will be on the Nov 27th cruise.we booked a gaurantee balcony stateroom.has anybody that has booked this category received their cabin number yet? also, does anyone know who the tribute band will be? thank you.

hello everyone. We are looking for a late afternoon beach swim in Old San Juan area,that is not too far from the pier. We have cruised to OSJ before but this later itinerary is also a nice time slot.We are on the Nov.27th cruise.Thank you all, you very informative cruisers. Keith(Watson50).

yes ,you still rotate

I read the Dynamic Dining was being cancelled, so I called Royal and yes it is,BUT,you can always book classic1(6:00) or classic2(8:30). you will have the same table everynight and the same wait staff,and you will rotate to the four different restaurant every night.if you don't like the food choices in that restaurant,they will let you choose from what is on the other three restaurant menus.we always book traditional late seating table for two (8:30),classic2.we did it last time on the Anthem and it worked out great.Don't throw in the towel just yet.Give RCL a call @ 1 866 562 7625. Good Luck cool cruisers.:)

hello everyone. we will be on the Anthem for the Nov.27th cruise.Can we still bring water onboard? They let us last Nov. You know how things can change. Thank you. watson50.

Thank you crookedhalo.being that I'm a old school rocker,this will work out just right.peace.

we sailed last Nov. the u2 cover band was called L.A. Vation and they were awesome.we are sailing this Nov 27th,anybody know the band yet? this is watson50,get back to me please.thank you

hello there WMQueenie.we did do traditional,classic dining.we always book the late seating 8:15.this lets us enjoy doing whatever we are doing,other than eating,more time.we had the same servers every night and they would show us the menu from the other three restaurants in case we didn't care for the choices for that night.it all worked for us ,I hope it works for you guys.have a great cruise.

hi there. yes we did have a real table for two every night during the rotation. only in Silk did it seem close to the couple next to us.it worked out quite well actually.we will sail Anthem again,and do it the same way. happy cruising everybody.

hello AnnetteSC.we have sailed Summit six times and this is a fine very smooth sailing ship.of course mid ships is a plus.you will have a great cruise.she surely is a fine ship.happy cruising. check out the Sunset Bar all the way aft.Dewa and the gang are the best.

hello drychi. we sailed the same cruise as you and couldn't agree with you more.sailed Summit six times.every time was great. i'm pretty sure AnnetteSC will not be dissappointed

you can always check with the maître'd, hopefully before the life boat drill.we do this every time we cruise.we have found that they are very accomadating and go out of their way for you.we were on the Anthem in Nov,and our table for two was there every night.have a great cruise.

check with your TA,most offer travel insurance with cruises five days or longer. we always purchase the upgrade option.it covers everything.even God forbid being air lifted off the ship.good luck and happy cruising.

we sailed Anthem and when we walked in to the Grande,by the way,we were both dressed very well and looked good.Alas,I had no jacket.The greeter at the door just walked us over to our table and hung a jacket on the back of the chair.I never touched it or looked at it.don't pack it .you don't need it.have a great cruise.been there.

What a nice gesture by Celebrity Cruises, and an unexpected treat for those thinking they'd not get to see Lady Liberty or the NYC skyline up-close. :D

we sailed on June 12th and hung a right instead. the weather was good,but it was a bit windy.we had a great cruise anyway.we have sailed celebrity 18xs,6 on the Summit.happy to hear you had a great time.lets do it again.:)

Thanx Capt.Dave for the nice wake pic. I hope you went to go see Dewa and the crew at the Sunset Bar.They are a great bunch.We will be seeing them this Sunday.I hope your BMD cruise was great, and smooth sailing home.

Everybody appears to be here, handsome and beautiful. They are quite a crew and a lot of fun.

Very happy you replied. Can't wait to see handsome man and the crew again. We will be sailng right after you. Hope your weather is good. Hey Dewa, So-Co and a Bud please. Thanks Don. Enjoy.

We also are cruising on June 12th. This will be our 6th time on the Summit and we have never been disappointed. Maybe we will run into you guys on the ship. We like hanging at the Sunset Bar all the way aft.Great bar crew there. My name is William. Jets hat.sail on.:cool:

Hey BND. Congrats on #35. We usually went in late August,our anniversary month. We have never had a kids problem on board. The ship absorbed all the cruisers just fine and yeah it was at times brutally hot and humid,but beautiful Bermuda a 3 day stay in port is worth it. This will be our 16th time there and celebrating #38. Smooth sailing,good weather,and happy anniversary.
