They have never held our passport when sailing out of US ports.... but I don't know if it's different in Europe.

Many times we have had to ask the agents to stamp our passport... it seems to be against the norm to stamp them nowadays.

Anyone know what "Refreshment Beverage Package" is?

It the whatever you want besides alchohol package....

Looks like Bev package is still 20% off on mine (11/18 on Anthem) but they did add deluxe Bev & Ult dining package for $68/day

Two 750 ml bottles of wine per cabin not per bag. Nice try.;)

I know the 2 per cabin rule, but do they actually check that?..... if there are 4 separate bags do they actually check that the cabin has already met the limit?

for that matter, my kids are in a separate cabin.... woohoo!!.... can we at least pack 2 for our cabin and 2 for theirs?

Hmmm.. I thought the default was a cabin account meaning everyone in the cabin was on the same account.

I'd be very happy if each individual has their own account

You might check with the County you'll be in. When we spread my mother's ashes it had to be done 1 mile out to sea.

I know this is personal and I don't want to butt in... but you might think of splitting the ashes up and spread some ashes close to where you live so you can "visit" every once in a while.... every time I go to the coast I still look out to where we spread her remains and think of her.

Man, I miss my mother.

My family of 4 has 2 cabins. Can we pack 2 bottles per bag?

I know that's overkill, just wondering.

Our two kids will be in their own cabin adjoining ours... woohoo.

Because our kids tend to fight over everything, is there a way to have separate on-board accounts for each of them?... or do they have to share the cabin account?

I was hoping to just load them each up with a certain amount and tell them "when it's gone it's gone".

No way would I push it that close..... I had the choice of an 11am flight or a 5pm flight.... I chose the 5pm flight so there would be absoluttely no stress over it... we'll find something to do.

We had these on our Alaska cruise.... the pullman beds were over our bed so if they were to fall out they would fall on us!!

Our kids were 8 & 10 at the time and loved it

I saw a thread somewhere on CC (can't find it now) that RCL may change the rules requiring that if you want the deluxe package then all 21+ cabin mates have to buy it..... rule changes in September.

Anyone able to confirm this?

thanks Clarea.... good idea,

another thing. We'll probably take Uber or a cab to the port. I'm assuming there is a liquor store on the way where we can stop to get a few bottles of wine for the ship.... or maybe we should get it from the duty free store in the airport?

We're on the Anthem for Thanksgiving, departing out of Cape Liberty on Nov 18.

Our flight from SFO arrives into EWR at 6am that morning. If we head straight to the port we'll get there 7am or so which is probably too early. Looking at the Cape Liberty website it says the waiting lounge doesn't open till 11am.

Anyone have a suggestion as to what to do?.... just head there and wave to people disembarking and wait? Are there any other lounges available at that hour?... we're RCL platinum members if that counts for anything.

My family of 4 is on the Anthem this Thanksgiving and have purchased the BOGO package. We really want Wonderland on one of the nights.

I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this.... Reserve and pay for Wonderland on night 2 through Cruise Planner then get on the ship, cancel reservation and re-reserve using the BOGO package. This way we know the time slot and restaurant we want is available.

I'm sure the cancelled reservation will probably go back to our account as a room credit but I'm sure we'll use the $200+/- anyhow.

Thoughts?
