Anthem of the Seas Couples Swedish Massage
Sunshine3601 replied to tennislvr8's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I have been to anthems spa on several sailings. I never hung after a treatment but they may let you sit in their lounge area. I know spa prices are typically at their lowest on embarkment day and can be a nice way to settle into your vacation. Enjoy! Note, they will try to upsell you with all kinds of products and future treatments. -
Yes, but why carry all of that? Cabins are usually ready between 1 and 1:30 pm. If you board early you will have to keep all of that with you. Plus elevators are very busy on day 1. Make it easy on yourself and check in a bag or a 2. We just carry our small backpacks onboard.

RCCL Aruba and Curacao excursions
Sunshine3601 replied to LivLove2Cruise's topic in Royal Caribbean International
For Curacoa, I recommend taking a walk thru the port and head to the floating pontoon bridge. https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-boostdish-us-revc&sca_esv=598681343&sxsrf=ACQVn0_3bVk_X7Cz9GrN56GTpG6e_i7HbQ%3A1705371818088&q=Queen Emma Bridge&ludocid=3711383108024288569&ibp=gwp%3B0%2C7&lsig=AB86z5ULxW40OlC1lHGKCJNWACel&kgs=2f739aaba0bf5ece&shndl=-1&source=sh%2Fx%2Floc%2Fact%2Fm4%2F2 Nice to explore the city area after crossing the bridge. Or taxi ride to Mambo Beach. Lots of places to rent loungers, snorkel, eat & drink. Maybe see if you can find someone on roll call wanting to share taxi to mambo beach. -
RCCL Aruba and Curacao excursions
Sunshine3601 replied to LivLove2Cruise's topic in Royal Caribbean International
For a first timer to Aruba I recommend their excursion called aruba highlights and Eagle beach. This will give a nice overview of the island with some nice stops at the Natural Bridge area, California lighthouse and a beach break at Eagle Beach. We did this tour years ago and gave us a good feel of the island and where we went on future visits. -
Service Charge on Spa Service
Sunshine3601 replied to silversneakers's topic in Royal Caribbean International
It is tip. Is it either 18 or 20% of the service you had done? If yes, then go back to spa mgr or guest services and ask for refund of the additional $35. Unless you want them to have extra tip -
We were pleasantly surprised the smaller tram we boarded near the ship also took us around the island. And we got picked up by a small tram outside the beach club that took us directly to the ship. Was great not having to switch trams at their tram depot.

Diamond drink vouchers

Smoothies or milkshakes -
88f sounds perfect! Can I stowaway in your luggage? I think you will like Barbados and St Lucia. We have never been to Trinidad & Tobago. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Any excursions booked? We did a really fun catamaran sailing in Barbados and another time the pirate boat. Both were lots of fun. Snorkeled with sea turtles on one of them. St Lucia we did a sailing to the Pitons and then took a ride up to the volcano for mud bath and lunch at a plantation. Another trip we sailed to marigot Bay and hung out there for a couple hours. Lots of nice beaches too!

You can take a taxi or the water ferry over to Atlantis. I am sure once you off the ship and walk down the dock to the cruise terminal you will see signs for either the ferry or where to get taxi's.

Dressing up on formal nights a thing of the past?
Sunshine3601 replied to 7x5090g's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We love to dress up. Hubby may not bring his tux on every cruise (3 to 5 times a year) but as others have said European / Med cruises tend to dress up more than Caribbean cruises. If you enjoy wearing your tux then go for it and have fun! -
After you disembark from the ship look for the tram station. The tram is excellent to ride throughout the island and has many drop off/pick up locations.

After looking at the 10 day forecast for Cape Coral and Gasparilla Island and speaking with my Boss, we have decided to postpone our trip. Originally scheduled to fly to Ft Meyers airport Thursday morning but with temps to be in the 60's with rain and high winds forecasted for most of the weekend we decided to postpone our trip for a couple of weeks. It saddens me to think we cancelled our Anthem sailing for Jan 18th 11 nighter because of Yeshiva week and now postponing this trip. I was so hoping to be soaking up some warm sun somewhere this January. For now, we have our fireplace and cats to snuggle up with. I hope everyone remains safe during this brutal cold weather and has no issues with power outages.
