We had the JS and solo cabin on the Anthem in March. I really liked the arrangement. DH and I were in the extra large balcony JS--.8632 [we are D+] Our adult DD was in the solo 8630. [first time cruise]. We kept the door to the hallway closed and propped open the JS door unless we were sleeping/ dressing. Yes, we all checked in together and I was able to make reservations for our check in times, dining times and excursions. Here is the JS It was like having an apartment with a separate bedroom. The solo cabin is the door on the right. [below] There is a door with a lock to the left. The cabin attendant would need to unlock this door for it to have access the interior little hall. I was standing at our door looking toward the hall. The solo cabin is small--but she said it was all she needed. The JS has a very large balcony. Ours had 2 loungers, a table and a chair. Because the balcony is on an angle it is very shady. That was good for us, too. I really liked this combination and would not hesitate to book this arrangement if we were traveling with family, again. Solo cabin with virtual balcony:

Tattoo. Covering it up.

I was amused by the McDonald's. When we were in Estonia the guide referred to the McDonald's as the American Embassy. LOL😁

I feel the same about this. I do not sail in full suites very often. However, there is really no incentive on an older ship. There are so few benefits it doesn't justify the cost. Voom is something they could offer. I get there is no space or number of potential guests for a Coastal Kitchen on these ships.

This is what we did with our DD. I selected boarding times for all of us. then she was able to enter passport info etc.

Wow! That is very nice. We were on the Anthem in March for my DH b-day. They did not do that.

I guess it depends on the ship. We were on the Liberty last May and we saw two groups of 14 brought and seated at tables that had been four tops all pushed together. They were across from u and I counted the seats.

I hope you were able to describe what he did in the survey. That is so far above and beyond. He should get praise for this. 🙂

I am interested to see how this boarding goes. We like the Norfolk area around the terminal. there is lots to see and do. There is also a lot of traffic. We sailed from there many years ago.

We were on the Anthem a week ago. Our DD had those each day. 😁

The 2pm matinee on the last day.

You are the one who needs all of our positive thoughts. What most of you don’t know is the Delta was on the Royal Caribbean cruise that left Baltimore and had to return to Norfolk. It was a bit of a train wreck there, but the best Royal Caribbean could do under the circumstances. So welcome back to dryland Delta blue.

post of the day. 🏆

While passenger vessels are not the main traffic at this port, they are still an important source of revenue for the area. Hotels, restaurants, parking, gas, etc. It does not make sense to build a new bridge without increasing the height. I know the other bridge is still a choke point. However, there are already plans to replace that one. too.

Sorry--I listed the correct event, just not the correct class. 😜 My bad!
