  1. Our last cruise was way back in 2013. We are sailing on the Anthem out of Bayonne on Feb 4 2023, and after reading through CC for the past few weeks, you guys have gotten me worried. We are sailing our first cruise as Diamonds--and I think the daily drink vouchers are a great perk, But aside from that, I need to hear some good stuff because so far, these are my CC takeaways: Food has gone downhill and is terrible Waitstaff are annoying Anthem is too narrow and too tall and therefore, it (gasp!) rocks too much Coco Cay is a bore Entertainment stinks RCI IT stinks RCI Customer Service stinks C'mon! Tell me something GOOD! Teddie
  2. Very kind of you, but I'll manage 🙂
  3. Haha. I'm in NYC all the time for work. I remain unscathed.
  4. We are new to Diamond and will be sailing as such in February 2023. I am extrememly pleased that we are getting 4 drink vouchers each per day, and have access to the DL. We pay upcharges for the things we really want, and have had great experiences on our cruises. OK; the highest category we have ever sailed are JSs, as we don't typically want to shell out thousands more. What I dislike intensely is the snobbery and entitlement voiced by some posters here. Honestly, you complainers sound like a bunch of resentful cheapskates. Sorry but that's how it comes across. Teddie
  5. Get eggnog without the whisky in it. Buy a rum or whisky on board, neat. Mix your drink. Yum.
  6. Exact same scenario for me--I saved ~ $70 bucks on that internet package and now they are hanging on to my beuatiful money for way too long.
  7. @mjkacmom, can you answer this question regarding your departure time from The Riu? Thank you 🙂
  8. Thank you--I saw this option but it looks like this resort is not fully open at this time. We are booked for the Riu. I will report back after the cruise! 🙂 Teddie
  9. I am wondering if the room attendants' pay is being reduced. If they are working reduced hours due to this change, I would be surprised if they did not get a pay cut. Or, as others have mentioned, are room attendants assigned to other departments on board to make up for the time away from the guest cabins? I also wonder if the room attendants welcome this change or are they cursing it? Teddie
  10. Oh heck no! Horizon schmorizon! LOLOLOL
  11. Nope. The patch has layers that deliver the med in increments over a 3 day period. I wouldn't. Teddie
  12. It may help with the immediate sick stomach, but wouldn't prevent me from getting seasick. Appreciate the ideas, but no.. Teddie
  13. LOL--I'd barf, or maybe just be drunk as I'd need to drink it all day long, but glad it works for some! Teddie
  14. Many people here swear by ginger, but for more severe cases of motion sickness due to middle ear/vestibular problems, it just won't cut it. I use a prescription scoplamine patch for air and sea travel and it is extremely effective, although not everyone tolerates it.
  15. Wouldn’t miss the Acropolis. Needs a visit at least once in a lifetime. teddie
  16. Thanks for your excellent review! I loved the photos ( especially the food, lol). Nice writing, too. teddie
  17. So a vape pen is considered an e-cigarette?
  18. What *I* want to know is HOW ON EARTH did someone smuggle a vape thingy onto the ship? (asking for a friend)... teddie
  19. I'm sure you are. I was last in Jamaica (~ 10 years ago!) and it was $25/bag. Fat chance nowadays! teddie
  20. Italian Line memories...as a child, we sailed on the Marconi and the Rafaello. Great experiences on beautiful ships....
