The cabana are not booked yet.  The cabana at Barefoot beach do not appear on the planner.  You can only book them through Genie or Conceirge.  Our Genie intro email came out today and I booked an over water cabana through him...so watch your email

Thanks for the tip!  I just emailed.  I just booked an over the water one as well.  We are traveling with a friend who is not a star class guest.  Do you know if he will be able to join us at the cabana?  Thanks for your help! 😉

Did you do much communication with Shane prior to the trip?  We booked this cruise last minute, and most of the things we want to do (cabana at Labadee, etc) are booked already.  I wasn't sure if I should ask him about those things now, prior to arrival.  I also have no idea what to do about restaurant reservations etc.  

And by booked, I mean already full, not that I booked them.

We  just got off Anthem with Shane as our Genie. 2 adults and our 6 yo dd. Shane is incredible! Everywhere we went people knew and spoke highly of him. He always created us with a smile and got to know us throughout our trip. He handled every change in schedule with ease and we had many since weather was a factor. We never waited or wanted for anything because Shane had planes and taken care of it all! When we disembarked (last off the ship at 9:30) my dd wouldn’t let go of him so that should tell you all. He’s a tremendous asset to RCI and you will be well cared for!

Have read about several Anthem Genies, but haven’t seen any feedback in regards to Shane Palmer.  Has anyone had Shane before? 

How was your experience with Shane?  We are sailing in a few weeks with him.  We've heard that some genies use your questionairre when it comes to the kiddos to get them thoughtful little gifts, etc.   Is that true?  Really looking forward to having a genie!

Unfortunately, Star Class is not consistent and I have contacted RCI regarding it. We had a marvelous experience with Cleon on Harmony, but a very mediocre experience on Anthem. Our Anthem genie did not even send us the wacky questionnaire. We are back on Harmony very soon. Hoping our Anthem experience was an anomaly.

 

Not sure if we can continue to book Star Class since RCI heavily jacked up Star Class pricing.

Do you mind me asking who your genie was.  We are sailing on the Anthem in a few weeks and I am curious.

I have booked nothing at this point (we are 65 days away from sailing) and I was hoping the genie would just take care of any requests.  Do you recommend I book things now?  At what point did you hear from your genie?  

Andee - I tried to email you but I was unable.....we are booked in the cabin that will be directly across from where you stayed in 6051 - we are in 6048. What is the deal with the room configuration? There is a star on the Oceania diagram that indicates it is a triple....were the lifeboats or noise an issue? I am stressing about this because I always get a bad room. How was the view?

We were in 6051, and liked the location very much. It was quiet, and relatively midships.
