Perfect! I will be on teh lookout. Thanks!

My family and I are on the Escape on 1/27/18. I have been intrigued recently by the bidding upgrade process (have never done it before or even aware it existed, frankly). When should I expect the email letting me know of the option, if it is available?

Thanks in advance for any info!! :cool:

Tow trucks.

Yup.

Super easy. Have done it a few times. One note - did have my car moves while we were at sea. Turned out we were there during fleet week and they had to move several cars for parking purposes. A panicky moment after getting off the ship but found it after a few minutes.

LOL. Haven't been on the boards in a while, but nice to see that my thread was reactivated. FYI - we were rebooked on a direct flight from Newark to Honolulu and all worked out wonderfully! It was a great cruise. Thats for the replies, regardless of the timing. Maybe it helped soemone else...Cheers!

Hello all

Does anyone have specific feedback on the shows The Gift and Spectra's Cabaret on the Anthem?

Are they worth seeing? Are they kids friendly? Any feedback would be helpful and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone shed some light on the 2 shows on the Anthem? The Gift and Spectra's Cabaret show. Any info is great. Are they worth seeing? What's the quality? Kid-friendly? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for all the feedback! I actually thought $19 a day was a bargain. Lol

Thanks for the reply! Coming from SE CT so 95S. Haven't cancelled stay yet. Booked at ramada in Newark. They have round trip shuttle. The traffic is the biggest factor. I've driven that part of CT for several years and the traffic is notoriously bad. Hence the consideration of park and stay (also the weather). Still leaning towards going the day before but not 100% yet.

Thanks for the replies!

Good morning all! Sailing on the Anthem in about 12 days and will be driving from CT. We are going back and forth on doing a stay and park package (already have on booked but aren't 100%) or just driving and parking at the terminal. The price will be a wash but I am thinking the convenience of having the car at the terminal vs. waiting for a shuttle may be preferable. Can anyone provide insight on the parking at the terminal? ie - Is it a garage? How far from ship? How early will we need to be there? or anything else that may be pertinent.

As always - thanks in advance!!:)

My family and I will be on Anthem in January. My wife is very picky about what she drinks and has trouble finding drinks that will be made consistently at every bar. Recently she discovered that she really likes Bud Light Raz ber Rita. It seems a little bit new and obscure so I am doubting if it's available on board. Has anyone run across it on any RCCL ships, including Anthem? Thanks in advance!!:):)

What is your exact date? There are very few hotels that offer a park/sleep cruise for Cape Liberty and we don't recommend all of them on the a East Coast Board. The very best deal is offered through Trinityreservations.com - price is quoted TAX INCLUDED and offers the Ramada Plaza, 21 days parking, and round trip port transportation in the $200-ish range depending on the exact date.

 

Other choices at Newark Airport are Country Inns and Embassy Suites. The Staten Island choices of the Hampton Inn and Hilton Gardens have already been mentioned. Staten Island is less convenient unless you are driving from the South. From other directions it is about 20-30 minutes further and it always requires an extra $10-14 Toll.

Thanks! Went through trinityreservations.com and got exactly what you said. Perfect!:D

What suggestions are there for options for Stay and Park Hotels for the port in Bayonne, NJ. We would need 11 days and shuttle to and from the port. Ive seen some but always trust these boards more than anything.

Thanks in advance!!!:)

My kids, who are also two years apart in age, have been in the same situation.

 

In one case, there weren't that many kids on board so everyone ended up in one group anyway. If you are travelling off season this may also be the case for you.

 

If not, just ask at AO. I've never had a problem having both kids in one group even if they aren't of the right age to be together.

Thanks!!:) Makes me feel better. I did reach out to RCCL and I'm waiting to hear back.

My family and I (Me, DW, DD(6) and DS(4)) are booked on the Anthem in January. Can't wait!

We always take advantage of the kids' programs on any ship we are on and the kids love them. This time, however, our kids' ages (4 and 6) mean they will be in separate categories. Normally not a bog deal but my DD would really struggle with anxiety if they weren't together.

Does anyone know if there is flexibility with putting kids together? She will gladly go in the 3-5 (she will have just turned 6 anyway) group, I'm sure.

Any insight?

Thanks in advance!!!

wow! What a nightmare! I'm guessing there are better services out there - I hope so. I'm still searching for less cost-prohibitive options. Have had little luck so far.

What type of shipping service have you used? We are staying in a hotel pre-cruise, so we can have them delivered there. Thanks!

I've heard alot about Luggage Forwarding services recently and was wondering if anyone has tried it? We're flying into Honolulu from the east coast in January and to be able to not have the stress of luggage on that long trip would be a pleasure. Just curious if anyone has any suggestions / advice.

Thanks in advance!
