Dear Guest,

 

We’re excited to welcome you for our April 2nd, 2023 sailing onboard Anthem of the Seas! Before you head to the terminal, we have some important information to share with you.

 

As a standard procedure, prior to boarding, Anthem of the Seas will conduct its annual United States Coast Guard inspection. As a result, we may experience some boarding delays, therefore we kindly ask that you please arrive after 1:00 PM. Arriving at your original time will result in us having to turn you away until your new time, while we complete this process. Please arrive no later than 1:30 PM. All guests should be checked-in and onboard by 2:00 PM.

 

If you have not completed online check-in already, please complete it as soon as possible via the Royal Caribbean App or online at www.RoyalCaribbean.com/booked.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We can’t wait to welcome you onboard Anthem of the Seas!

 

Sincerely,

 

Royal Caribbean International

 

 

What the heck?!

Are you flying in?  If so, what are your plans to pass the time after landing until 1pm?

[The Fun Researcher]

Bummer to lose a few hours.  At least you have the rest of the week to make up for it. Was just on the Anthem last week for the first time and loved it.

That's a tight check in window.

An impossible window. IMHO

Sounds like it's gonna be a hot mess.

Let's hope the life jackets haven't expired.

We are coming from CA so flying in on red eye tonight to spend a night in NYC, see the Yankees. We'll see about late checkout, prob a long shot.

I was looking forward to lunch at Jamie's as we had a 10 am check in. Guess better do late breakfast....

Agree. We usually try to board early as well and skip breakfast.

Has to be a misprint? late check  in, no earlier then 1pm and everyone must be onboard by 2pm, Impossible, can't be done.

 

I would be looking for another email soon from Royal.

Yes, been talking with the family. There's not way this right.

My letter was nothing like that. Just told me to adhere to my check-in time. Weird that you got that. 🤔 

[Kdmansfield]

Looking in more detail....

 

Looks like phishing. So crazy they would spam this kind of alert. Anyone know this sender? Or has this been posted before as spam acting as RCCL. 

[Kdmansfield]

We have a travel agent so sometimes the email about cruises from non-rccl accounts. Not sure why this got sent to us.

 

Thanks team! I knew this was weird.

I just did a search of my email account.  I have many emails from Royal Caribbean routed through everbridge.net.

That is their standard email service.

Not too active. 14 posts or so. But I posted I there too now.

I leave on this cruise tomorrow 10:30 check in. Is this Coast Guard inspection legitimate?

[smokeybandit]

Everbridge is a legit timely warning service.

 

https://www.everbridge.com/

 

And yes, that's .com, but their alerts come from .net

Must be associated with RCI's super, high-quality, almost got it right, IT department.

Welcome to CC.

Yes, though the affect on boarding may not be.

[CruizinSusan70]

Thought it was an April Fool's joke since the email was sent yesterday.  It's impossible for everyone to show up between 100 and 130 and have everyone officially checked in and on board by 200.  The only place that could happen is in Fantasyland and this isn't a Disney ship.
