It is showing that the slides and pools close at 5:00 but other attractions close at 6:00.  The all aboard is 7:30 p.m.

We are booked for a Royal Caribbean excursion to the Aquaventure waterpark at Atlantis and will have 5 hours total, arriving at 1:00 p.m.  We are travelling with 6 teens, whose main focus will be the waterslides.  I understand there is a lengthy intro lecture once we arrive?  Can we bypass that and sneak away?  Will we miss out on anything important?  Do you have tips on what to do first, or what order to do the slides, to save time?  We would like to see the Dig as well if we have time.

Please update us on what hotel you decided on. We will be driving from Ottawa Feb 2021 and cruising out of Manhattan as a family of 5 so advice would be great!

We are planning to taxi from the cruise port to Cabbage beach.  From what I see, the taxis look like vans?  Can someone tell me how many people they fit?

The Refreshment package includes fresh squeezed OJ, which is not free.

True.

Keep in mind OJ is free at breakfast.  

Just got one at 75 days out, however as we are in connecting interiors with the kids, we wont be bidding.

Can confirm this is 100% false.  All the games are around 2.00 per play

Thanks!

I heard that all non-prize arcade games are free on Anthem.  It sounds odd to me.

Can anyone confirm this?

If we booked our cruise in US dollars, can we now change it to Canadian?

I saw that you are sailing on Anthem.  Here are guides from a 9 day sailing on Anthem.

Perfect!! Thanks so much!

Does RC publish paper copies of the kids club daily activities? I'm looking for examples of recent copies for the 10, 12, 14 year old groups.

Thanks.

Where would I find this info?  Most specifically, I want to know where the Anthem of the Seas will dock in Orlando on March 3, 2020.  We are looking at taking the SCAT bus to Cocoa Beach.

Thanks.

Well that doesn't really make sense...anyhow, fingers crossed for some Black Friday deals!  The waterpark cabanas are priced at $799 USD...oof!

I want to buy full-day waterpark passes for my 3 kids (ages 10, 12, 14).  Will hubby and I be able to go to that area of the island without passes to watch them (if we don't plan to go on waterslides or in wave pool)?

We are driving to Cape Liberty from Ottawa, Ontario.  We are looking for a hotel pre-cruise for a family of 5 and will park at the port.  Does anyone have any advice on the following?

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Clifton/Rutherford

Sonesta ES Suites Parsippany

March 1, 2020, 7 days

As a family of 5, the only Trinity offer is Holiday Inn Carteret.  We like the convenience of parking at the port.

Do we have to drive through NYC to get to Cape Liberty? Is it an easy drive to get to the port? 

We are trying to decide between a park, snooze and cruise package for a group of 15 or booking a hotel the night before, an hour or 2 from the port and driving to the port the morning of departure and parking there.  Do you have any suggestions for specific hotels?

Thanks!

And before final payment?  Are they any charges/losses to change the name to someone else?

What happens if the first person on the reservation (room for 2 adults) is unable to go on the cruise?  The cruise was booked as non-refundable.  Does the deposit for passenger #1 get forfeited or can it be used for someone else to take their place?  (In other words, no extra deposit for the person replacing). 

We are 2 families of 5 driving down to the Manhattan cruise terminal for a Norwegian cruise in Feb 2021.  It's a long way off, but I'm wondering if anyone has done the drive and what the best route would be.  Also, we are looking for best options for hotel the night before and getting to the port (no need for a fancy hotel). Is it smarter to find a hotel with a shuttle, or park at the terminal (I'm aware of the crazy costs of parking).  It would be a Sunday morning departure...how bad will traffic be?  Do we need to drive through NYC to get there?

I'd love to hear your personal experiences! 

We just sailed on the Sunshine and although the waterslides were a blast, they were pretty painful on the back and elbows.  Even the kids got a lot of bruises from them.  Are there tips on how to make the ride down more pleasant?? We were following instructions.  Are all Carnival ships' waterslides like this?

Check your junk mail.  I emailed and the reply with confirmation got sent to junk.

Are you able to order more than 1 item off the menu? For example, if I wanted Green Eggs and Ham and the Waffles, is that allowed?

Do they do anything special for birthdays during this breakfast?

Perfect! Thanks!
