Smooth_J Posted March 17, 2023 #102 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Back to the topic of the original OP. My wife just saw a FB post that someone called RCL, and it was stated Florida will be skipped for the 3/19 cruise as well. I don't have any other information other than that. Current tracking puts Anthem running at 19 knots back to Bayonne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted March 18, 2023 #106 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I still have not received word from Royal about tomorrow’s cruise. Maybe they resolved the propulsion issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted March 18, 2023 #108 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Absolutely. I don’t have the WiFi package on the ship but can update at our first port which will either be Port Canaveral on the 21st or Nassau the following day. of course, if I find out anything before the cruise, I will make sure to post 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max and Ruby Posted March 18, 2023 #110 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Not to change the subject on this thread, but what has been the earliest check in time the last few weeks? I’m traveling in April and I see that ship leaves Bayonne earlier than summer cruises. I have 10:30 check in and wondered if that was earliest boarding? Thanks!

Max and Ruby Posted March 18, 2023 #113 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I remember from summer that the parking is a zoo so I wanted to get there a bit earlier, but balance between those disembarking and us embarking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max and Ruby Posted March 18, 2023 #114 Share Posted March 18, 2023 This time I sure hope Anthem doesn’t pull the “ move out of the way” at the dock which suspended boarding for 2 hours!!! That was terrible waiting in that holding room with hundreds of passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I picked 10:30 rather than the very first. Someone else on my sailing, who is local and has been on Anthem several times over the winter, said that was a good time to pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVLady3 Posted March 18, 2023 #117 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I am going on the Anthem tomorrow 3/19 and as of 5pm there is NO email from Royal about skipping Port Canaveral. Hopefully the problems been fixed! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCouple72 Posted March 20, 2023 #118 Share Posted March 20, 2023 It appears the problem has been fixed , left cape Liberty on time , headed for port canaveral, and last night achieved 20+ knots ( according to marine traffic) 👍🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on Quantum last year when she had her engine issue. That took a couple months to fix I believe, so hopefully Anthem will not suffer the same fate.

Smooth_J Posted March 21, 2023 #120 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) I am on Anthem as well, and we are cruising along at a nice and healthy 20+ knots. We are also near some storm too, so its a bit rocky at the moment. Edited March 21, 2023 by Smooth_J 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suometar Posted March 21, 2023 #122 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I was on last week's sailing where we skipped Port Canaveral. Just checked my credit card account and saw that Royal has refunded one day's fare. I'm a happy camper! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare playingpossum Posted March 21, 2023 #123 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Thank you to all who posted on this. We board this weekend and are really excited that we will be stopping at all of our ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBucketLister Posted March 21, 2023 #124 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Just got an itinerary update on our TA in October. “Dear Guest, To maintain a safe and comfortable speed along our journey, we’ve adjusted the times…” Two ports have been adjusted and one port, Vigo, has been adjusted enough to possibly cause multiple excursions which are 5+ hours to cancel. Bummer. I couldn’t imagine this is related to the issues they are having, but it wouldn’t surprise me since the Quantum took months to resolve. 🤷♂️ Edited March 21, 2023 by TheBucketLister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we didn't miss any of the ports they cut the time at most of them, some by several hours. At the time, they claimed it was for "routine engine maintenance". It happened on several of the longer cruises Anthem did during that summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
