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.

I read that in the past Anthem has had tribute bands for a specific rock group, such as Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, U2, etc. Does anyone know if they are they doing this currently? I know they have We Will Rock You but I'm not talking about a show, I mean a cover band for a specific group which I assume would play in the Music Hall maybe? We're on Anthem April 23 so if anyone has any information, that would be appreciated. Thanks.

What is the main difference between the main dining room and Coastal Kitchen? We will be on Anthem in a few weeks and have a JS booked for the first time. We are thinking of trying to book dinner in Coastal Kitchen at least one night just to see what it's like. I assume it's much smaller than the main dining room but is the food or service upgraded?

Thank you!

We have day passes at RIU Palace resort in Nassau but it doesn't include transportation. They sent a notice saying to confirm the price with the driver before accepting a ride. Does anyone know approximately what the cab ride should be each way?

Does anyone know if you can bring your own pool float to Coco Cay to use in the pool? I'm talking about a small inflatable tube to sit on. Thanks.

Years ago I had found a site that listed which ships will be at a port on certain days. I can't seem to find it again. Does anyone know how to find this out?

This information is so helpful! I'm wondering if we get there early and get chairs at a beach and then want to go have lunch or look around and go back to the chairs, would we just leave our towels on the chairs while we're gone? I don't want to be charged $25 if we leave the towels and come back to find them gone. And if we took the towels with us, then I'm sure the chairs would be taken when we came back. What should we do? Thanks so much for all the help!

Thanks so much for the suggestions. For people who have been there, what area did you like best and which section do you think was most convenient? I'd appreciate any tips you could give me.

Where can I look to find details about Coco Cay with descriptions of the different beach areas, restaurants, pools, etc?

It's two days prior to your sail date, not two days before you would be going to RIU.

Has anyone been to RIU Palace recently to use their day pass? Did you buy it at the resort that day or did you purchase it ahead of time? I was looking at booking it through Resort For a Day. Their price is $129/person with a $29 nonrefundable deposit per person. You have to cancel two days before your cruise departure date so if it happened to be pouring rain that day, we would have to lose the deposit in order to cancel. The resort said you can buy the day passes that day at the desk but I'm concerned they might be limited and run out and we wouldn't know that until arrival. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has been there and if you think the resort was worth the price and what your experience was like. Thanks.

We will be flying into Orlando for a cruise out of Port Canaveral. There will be 6 adults and each couple will have 2 large suitcases, two carryons and maybe a backpack or something similar. Does anyone know if there is a shuttle from the airport to the port? Otherwise, we'll probably have to take Ubers or rent two cars. Thanks.

I just checked the app and got the date. Thank you!

We have an upcoming cruise on Anthem in April. Could you tell me what shows are playing now? Is We Will Rock You still there?

Is it always 45 days ahead for check in no matter which ship? We'll be on Anthem in April and I'm trying to figure out what would be the earliest check in day. Thanks.

happychippy, When you were at RIU, were there people selling stuff that were bothersome? Someone complained about that in a review. I didn't realize until I read it just now that this is on a public beach. Did you have access to any of the inside restaurants or facilities as well? Anything else you can tell me would be appreciated. We'll be on a cruise in April and are thinking of booking a RIU day pass. Thank you.

I just sent an email to them to ask about the parking availability. Thanks.
