Do you remember how much the cab ride was from the port to RIU? We are leaving on a cruise Sunday and have a day pass for RIU. We plan to grab a cab right when we get off the ship but I'm trying to find out what the rate should be.

Yes, but how would I know what the rate is supposed to be?

We will be docking in Nassau and have an excursion booked at Hotel RIU Palace on Paradise Island, which is on Cabbage Beach close to Atlantis. I've read on the boards to be careful knowing what the cost of the cab ride should be in advance so as not to be overcharged. How would we know what that is? Are there posted rates at the pier when we get off the ship?

Thanks!

We will be on Anthem this weekend and I'm wondering what size suitcase will fit under the bed. Our big one I think is 29 inches and I'm hoping it will fit.

We'll be on Anthem on April 23. We've booked Spectra but where should we go once we're onboard to make reservations for other shows?

Thanks very much for the explanation, it was really helpful.

How can I access another sailing that isn't mine through the app?

I see the menu for the main dining room on the app for our cruise on Anthem April 23, 2023, but is there a way to see the menu for Coastal Kitchen each day for dinner?

Thank you.

I looked on the app but didn't see anything about this. Can you tell me how to access the free chat feature on the app?

My son got an email at 5 p.m. last Friday.

I don't know but it sounds like a mess.

Okay, I talked to a supervisor. He said they Coast Guard inspection is definitely being done on tomorrow's sailing, April 2, and there will not be one on April 23. He said he's not sure why we got this text message but it could possibly be a glitch. So apparently the text message is real, even though I had never gotten one from them before. He thinks they sent a text due to the fact that the Coast Guard inspection is for tomorrow and since the date was so close, they sent a text rather than an email.

I'm on the phone with RCI right now. The agent just checked and told me the Coast Guard inspection is scheduled for the sailings on April 2 and April 23. It says in the message it's an annual inspection so I told her that doesn't make sense. She's transferring me to a supervisor. I'll update when I talke to them.

I just got a text that says it's from Royal Caribbean (I've never gotten a text from them, only emails.) This is what it says: The U.S. Coast Guard will conduct an annual inspection onboard Anthem of the Seas. We may experience some boarding delays, so we ask that you arrive after 1:00 p.m. Please arrive no later than 1:30 p.m. All guests should be checked in and onboard by 2:00 p.m. We look forward to seeing you soon! Could this be a joke? My son is going on Anthem tomorrow and he did get an email yesterday stating that the Coast Guard is doing an annual inspection on his sailing and the boarding times were changed. How could it be an annual inspection if it's conducted twice in a 3 week span? There's no way everyone would arrive after 1 p.m. and all guests would be checked in and onboard by 2 p.m. Also, I have never gotten a text from RCI and it doesn't really look official to me. At the bottom it says "everbridge," whatever that means. Did anyone else get this?

Thank you.

I saw this but I was hoping for a more recent update.

Anyone who is on Anthem now or disembarked last week, did the ship stop at Port Canaveral or was it skipped due to engine problems?

Were you on the Anthem cruise March 18-24? Someone said the ship stopped at all the ports.

How warm was it the second day and do you know whereabouts the ship was then - maybe off the coast of the Carolinas? Was there a tropical band at the pool, such as steel drums or calypso? Was the cover band Rookie that played either in the Music Hall or Two70? Thanks.

When is spring break for Miami Beach/South Beach?

So if we only need a reservation for Spectra, are there typically long lines for the rest of the shows? How early do you need to get in line to get good seats?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks.
