I don't know of any mixers that would have wheat in them, nor liquor as well. Beer is another story.

Weather happens. I have sailed many times in the fall. Most times the weather was great and I was wearing shorts and t shirts most of the time. I've also experienced snow flurries and heavy fog. You need to be prepared for either. Keep in mind it is still hurricane season.

Has anyone been on this tour? It's $60 and includes 5 bars and a little sight seeing. Is it worth it? Are the drinks full sized, or are they just 2 of 3 ounce samples? Thanks in advance.

The Anthem uses tenders, not life boats. I know because I 'be been there three times in the past two years. That being said, there is a very steep ramp once you get off the tender at Bar Harbor. It makes it very difficult to push a person up or down. And keep in mind the area itself is very hilly. I would rethink that excursion. The HOHO bus could also be challenging. Would the bus driver be willing to stop for longer times while you get off and on for the different stops. And do you realize that Penny's Cove is extremely rocky. I'm not trying to discourage you, just manage your expectations. My wife is a stroke survivor and uses a wheelchair and scooter. I know what you are going through.

It does differ by ship. The Anthem here are about three inches higher than the Adventure. If we go on the Anthem, I pack a step stool with us.

It sounds like you didn't know what questions to ask. I am not defending RC. My wife is a stroke survivor and is a full time wheelchair user. On a cruise, we rent a scooter to make life easier. We never had problems, except people cutting in front of us on the elevators. RC goes out of their way to help. We've been on the Anthem and Adventure out of Bayonne. BUT, my wife realized she has to give up some of her independence for the cruise to work for us. And I know I have to do more for her. I guess our expectations were different than yours. We make sure we know if there are any tender ports. And we ask plenty of questions ahead of time, both to the cruise line and the cruise critic community.

If you booked your tour thru the cruise line, many give you the option of being dropped off at Quincy Hall, or go back to the ship. If you choose Quincy Hall, they will give you a free pass for the shuttle back to the ship. Just ask for it.

I've had four as well last fall. Also on the Anthem then.

You can do a tour of Harpoon Brewery and lunch at Yankee Lobster Fish Market. Both are within three blocks of the Black Falcon cruise terminal. You can check your luggage first, and just walk with your carry ons.

Been on her many. Not open for breakfast.

How far are these two places from where the ship docks? Is it walkable? I'm interested in seeing these on my own father than booking a tour thru RCCL.

Don't get too excited. The tails are very small and the quality is hit or miss.

What about Bobby Argon who sang the theme song from Happy Days. He created a whole show around that on song. Saw him at least 4 times and walked out each time.He thought very highly of himself.

Was on her last week and didn't see it.

Probably Dru Pavlov.

Never got a receipt.

The same procedure was on Anthem and Adventure. Nice shorts and shirt were allowed for all nights except formal nights. You will be reminded the night before.

According to entry #251, Oct 13.

I was able to book the May 2019 Panama Canal 14 nights out of NYC this past January.

Just got off last Friday. It was deck 4.

How many people just take a bite of just leave them alone. It's no big deal.

Just regular inside but the juice bar around the corner may.

Yes for the pastries and usually one between waffles, pancakes, and French toast. No omelet bar but they will have pre made ham and cheese omelets. Fyi, it's a short walk to the windjammer.

They may not tell you of the change until you board the ship. Just be prepared and pack some warmer clothing.

The Anthem has more to do in the cooler weather.
