I had cigarettes on the Anthem back in March on the balcony...something I quit three weeks before, until they called me at the bars, the cigarettes (if you want to call that quitting, but this addiction runs strong with me, not proud of it), but I took into account the others passengers, only late nights (12am-3am, yeah couldn't stay up later than that, my job screwed me up).

Thanks for the info.

Be aware that there is a tender boat davit obstructing the view from that balcony as shown in the shots below. Balcony for 6632 is indicated by arrow in each. First shot was taken from North Star when it was over the side thus is from an upward forward direction, second from shore at a slight angle from the front.

Also see the following thread on these JS.

I guess it doesn't look too bad, seems like there is somewhat of a view from the balcony with partial obstruction. I guess I could live with it.

Does anyone have any first hand pics of this room or similar (Junior Suite with Balcony (JS)). Just booked for Sept. Any info would be appreciated.

I swear the laptop and iPad will be out the window trying to finalise my stuff and keeps telling me they have technical issues urrr

Had the same problem. Way easier to book on a desktop or notebook.

Less than a month after the pretty much successful Kiss Goodbye to Majesty we decided we would like a Canada cruise in September.

 

Last night we booked it on.......wait for it.........CARNIVAL.:eek:

 

The reasons are many even if the intelligence is questionable.

 

1) It leaves from New York so NO TSA, NO airports, NO ground transfers and NO night before hotel.

 

2) It is less expensive by several hundred dollars for the same balcony cabin on NCL or Royal. I consider this a mission to find out if it's also cheaper.

 

3) It goes where we want to go. It has been years since we went to Canada in September and we miss not seeing tall the sights we could have seen if we could have seen them through the fog.

 

4) Based on our one other Carnival fun ship (Victory - 2007, see my sig for that one) there will be enough disasters to make my next review truly demented. I tell people all the time that it's much harder to be funny when things go perfectly. This time I'll have an entire huge corporation working for me.

 

So it appears there will be another set of crazed rants and ravings in September but it will be "over there". I'll put a link here for the truly strange and weird who follow my little ramblings.

Been thinking about this myself. Obviously I don't have that much loyalty to RCI because I'm new, but waiting for the schedule to come out for Sept/Oct '17 so I can book NE/Canada. I just want it booked already. The NE/Canada area is such a beautiful place. That or NCL.

Creed, Spectre, The Great Gatsby..will find out more later for you: )This was on the 3/19 sailing

I could swear there were one or two more, but can't remember. Seems like they're playing what is about to come out on DVD or what recently came out.

Just got off the Anthem today from the 8 day to the Bahamas, they did not open the indoor pool roof, even though it was pretty warm past Florida. April or May, I'd say they will.

Scheduled to be released the week of April 4.

Much appreciated

No cruises in 2017 to New England and Canada, as far as I see. Will they eventually be announced or are they not doing them in 2017. Was wondering if anyone had insider info.

They opened an hour of free internet so that the passengers would share their wonderful experiences with the rest of the world on social media. ;)

 

This is quite uncommon.

 

If you want internet on the ship, you will have to pay for it.

 

 

I paid for the internet access. How does it work, do they give you a password for a wifi network?

I was a little nervous about going on the Anthem since I haven't been on a cruise since I was a kid, but all the nice comments are putting me at ease. Headed on the Anthem later in March.
