  1. Yes, Diamond members get 1 day free (24hours). With most sailings out of the US leaving port between 4 and 5 pm we usually skip buying internet on boarding day, then DH and I use our free day(s) depending on port schedule. The onboard cost a week ago on Anthem was $25.99 for 1 device per day.
  2. Thank you for another wonderful review and sharing your cruise with us. 😊 Safe travels home. I'm sure Lucy will be happy to see everyone😻
  3. You can purchase internet (Voom) on cruise planner prior to boarding. IF you need only 1 device the price has been running around $18 or $19/day but must purchase for the entire cruise if bought on cruise planner. Black Friday sales in November usually offer the best price for extras such as internet and drink packages. If you do Not need internet every day and want to wait until middle or towards end of your cruise you could save yourself some money and buy onboard. If your sailing is port intense, most European sailings are, then you may not want to purchase the alcohol package (deluxe beverage package) you may be better just paying as you go. The usual breakeven is anywhere from 5 to 7 drinks per day. You could purchase the refreshment package that gives you bottled water, speciality coffees, fresh squeezed juices and soda then pay for any wine, beer or cocktails as you go.
  4. I have a blank sea pass card I got from guest services or DL Concierge and just use it every cruise.
  5. Many cruisers are saying it is very loud there with hardly anywhere to get away from the constant music/DJ with lots of bass.
  6. Book as you said then as others have said go to guest services and get spare keys. We have done this before with no questions asked. Do not ask to have names re-arranged/re-assigned as that is a red flag for the casino.
  7. My DH had a recent back injury and we rented a scooter for our cruise from: https://www.specialneedsatsea.com/ We found they had better pricing than others I shopped. They delivered the scooter to the cabin and we were able to get wheelchair assistance at the cruise terminal to get us onboard so he didn't have to do the long walk through terminal to the ship. I have heard they are able to arrange scooter pick up outside the cruise terminal but that seems to vary by cruise port. It is not easy to turn the scooter around inside a standard OV If possible book an accessible cabin it will be so much easier to maneuver the scooter than a standard OV. Plus easier to get in and out of the cabin door if by yourself.
  8. Same here. We have had some great days exploring the island. I think some people just get off the ship and walk around to shop or find a restaurant vs. leaving the port area and checking out what the island has to offer.
  9. As others have said prices vary with Uber and Lyft based on time of day, availability, demand, etc. That is odd that it would be $35 for a 5 min. ride, I would have thought it would be around $10 or $15 at most. Is there something going on in your area for St. Patty's Day today? That would bump up the prices. We usually compare the two when looking for a ride. We have found Lyft to be cheaper most times. i.e. Last Sunday when we needed a ride home from Cape Liberty cruise terminal Uber was $175 for the 1.5 hr ride and Lyft was $120 (both included tolls).
  10. My hubby had his done 2 weeks apart. Good excuse to do nothing for several days after each procedure. I would be nervous too. You'll be so happy you had them done after you are all healed😊
  11. Based on what they told Eric when he had his cataract surgeries. No driving for at least first week. You get a break from moving and packing boxes for at least a week. You may want to do your errands, grocery shopping, etc. this weekend if you haven't already done. Best wishes!
  12. Scroll down a little further and you should see the OBC. Did they collect an additional $700 and the $200 from next cruise cert or an additional $900? Did you call direct when you booked and give them your next cruise booking number?
  13. Total needed to reach prime is 2500 points per club royale year of April 1st to March 31st. So if you have 1300 points now you will go to 0 points on April 1st. Resets every casino year.
  14. With 2 large ships docked lines for the Waterpark will be long, especially during spring break season. Beach club is definitely a winner with a great lunch. Floating mats are included and you can rent snorkel gear over near chill island where the snorkeling is the best on the island or bring your own.
  15. I sailed on Anthem last week with lots of families from Canada on their spring break. Beach club was rather empty. We paid $90 or $95 for Beach club. I guess most were at free beaches, water park or the adult Hideaway beach....which I heard a lot of people say it's way too loud there.
  16. Rarely see children at the beach club so they may be bored there. The area is very nice and relaxing with a great lunch.
