Just be aware of the difference between converters and adapters. They are not the same.

 

Yes, adapters only let you use a device that can use either 120 volts OR 240 volts.  Cell phone chargers are great uses of an adapter.  A converter is needed if you can only use 120 volts.  It takes the 240 volts and converts it into 120 volts.

I would send an email to rcldining@rccl.com and mention your ship, sailing date, and booking numbers and request to have your brother moved with you to late dining. 

I did exactly this just last week.  They responded by the next day and changed the times to match!

I ma trying to get a cabana.  It asks for the name of everyone who will use it.  I put in everyone and the price comes up charging for everyone.  The page says it is a price for all so why is it charging for each of us?

Upper right corner click on your name, select account,  on left side select signature!

We are on Symphony out of Miami and have another on Vision leaving from Ft Lauderdale with one day between them. Does anyone know if they will give us a test before we leave the ship for the next cruise?

This might be true, as the Anthem will not be sailing the Caribbean and making a stop at Coco Cay until November 5th 2019. The summer sailings on Anthem stop at Labadee.

Ummm no.  We are going to be there on March 19.  They are not letting ships there from the 10 - 13 march.

Hmmmm...maybe read the existing posts before you comment?  Now there's  an interesting concept! 😉

That'll never happen!

Someone on the Anthem FB page posted the Captain said that this was the last time they would be tendered.  The next visit the pier would be open.  Can anyone confirm this?

Ok so what does Choice in the casino get you?

On my wife and mine it says "choice" after gold, our c & a status.  On my parents it does not have it and they are same status as us, they are even closer to next level than we are.  Any idea what this means?

Really sorry to say but I just don’t get it! Why would you want a water park, interior pool etc when you are on a beautiful Caribbean island with the Caribbean Sea at your feet?? The pier, the restaurants I get, but the rest?? We are going apparently in July on Harmony, we plan to walk past all the slides and stuff and go straight to the south beach to enjoy the sun, sand and surf. ‘It’s for the kids’ they will say, well when my daughter was a kid she was happy with the sea and a bucket and spade making castles in the sand. I know I’ll get flamed for this but that’s my thought on it. Oh well I guess I’m old fashioned.....or maybe just old.

I always thought it was in the Atlantic ocean!?

Heading on symphony next weekend and wanting to try some new drinks with the drink package! Outside of the usual Miami vice etc, what are some go to drinks? I'm wanting to try some scotch and others like that, but what's the best mixers to try? Jack and coke has been my go to. The drink menu at Boleros looks interesting. 

 

Looking for lots of ideas! 

Try this site.  I could not think of any to ad to it.  They were all there!

No wages to the bartender.

People lining up for bottom shelf liquor options.

Plastic throw-away cups rather than actual glass that needs to be washed.

 

I think the Bionic Bar won't be going anywhere..........

AND an 18%gratuity on top of that!!!

beware of the ghosts of past cruisers.  I hear they are chair hogs!!!

That's actually a cruise travel agency for people traveling with an autistic person... they will only help you if you book your cruise through them or use one of their specially staffed cruises.  

This one should suit you better.

Sweet!  Enjoy!!

I would second the Sheraton Old San Juan .  We stayed there and loved it.  Right at the port in the Old town( not the one you will use).  Easy to walk anywhere  in old San Juan.  There is a restaurant maybe 10 minutes away that has a free flamenco show each night.  My wife and I loved it  Put " 251 Calle Recinto Sur"  into your maps.

Try it and decide for yourself.  Personally I liked it.  Had better but not bad.

Another option besides taxi is a bus.  The cost is $2 per person, each way.  Pick up the bus on the street behind the post office.  The bus looks like a VW bus with a handwritten sign that says Maho in the front window.

That;s the way I do it in every port I can.  not only do you get a cheap ride you also have the experience and talk to  the local islanders.  Maybe learn a bit more than any excursion.

Has RCI dropped prices in the  past? 

Quite often lately I go to check on a couple cruises I am interested in. I go through the search options and I get a message that there are NO cruises anywhere at that time(march '19). I try anywhere they sail and same result, no cruises found. They really have to do something.

We were on her in March and the cheapest I saw was $42. I had gotten it earlier at $45, so I canceled that and re bought it for the $42 price. Kept looking but never saw it any less.

If you get to the north side you have to get a cannoli from Mikes. They are the best!! The north side and all of the places mentioned are within walking distance of the aquarium.
