Just did Norway this Sept on Anthem.  You are going to LOVE it.  Very beautiful country

Any recommendations for a SIM card to use when visiting Norway.   

We're using Airalo. 

Our cruise is Sept 3.  Please let me know what your husband thinks of it

@chismrules did you end up doing the Himakana hike?  We found the same excursion and are considering it.

I was on the cruise and it definitely happened.  Blew up everyone's phones and battery drain.  I'm sure there's a feature like @everyone that someone "found" and exploited.  The chat feature was removed for the remainder of our trip and really for the only day we "needed" it - CocoCay

That's it.  

https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-74?language=en_US according to this if he has a picture id with name and DOB that would be accepted.  Above some suggested Costco - not sure as I am not a member but maybe that would work?

If you take the price of the UBP - refreshment pkg price that will tell you how much alcohol you need to drink to break even.  I believe it's usually around 3-4 $13 drinks - beer would be more.

Royal has MyTime dining which we usually do.  You can schedule your times in the cruise planner before your cruise or just show up in the evening and wait in line.  Formal Night on Royal is "Dress your best night" and you will see a wide variety of attire.  Not sure shorts are appropriate but I'm sure you'll see it.

I haven't cruised on Anthem yet so I'll let someone else answer those questions.

Seems to working again...

same here

It allowed me to pick 6 pm as my dining time

The cheaper one worked so we shall see if they cancel it next week.

Anyone know if there is a difference?  If not obviously the cheaper one is the best deal, $186 vs $235.

I cancelled this morning.  We were supposed to be on Mariner in Oct but the restrictions aren't out yet and final payment was due tomorrow.  Our options were to either modify the reservation and simply move our down payment to the new cruise or to take a FCC which has to be booked by 4/30/22 and sail date must be before 9/30/22. 

We didn't use it, but I believe the couch pulls out into a full sized bed.  When it is pulled out the room will be VERY crowded.

She may be the mayor but they're so close lately they could be one and the same.  After all, the governor thinks that her city is the only thing that matters in IL

My neighbors keep making a lot of ruckus at 2 am or later...pretty sure it's some college boys.  Then, for some reason, they seem to think I'm their waitstaff.  Not sure why they're spending the entirety of this cruise below deck either - they now claim sunlight is "bright".

@nbsjcruiser Actually we are supposed to peak in mid to early April (at least here near Chicago) so hopefully May will be better.

Looks like mine came about 5 days after our cruise ended.

The e-mail I have from last year is from Our Cruise Photos <no-reply@ourcruisephotos.com>  with a topic of Your Cruise Photos From Independence Of The Seas

Will be cruising on Symphony OTS and wondering what options are available.  I've seen the package list but it only lists one Mezcal and I was hoping there were others.

Playmakers and Portside BBQ have a credit (I believe $35) per person per visit.  

@Bearsfan82 you can take it even further and subtract the difference between the refreshment pkg and the alcohol pkg and I think it's like 3 drinks and 4 beers a day.  Most people do drink bottled water and sodas also.

They automatically scan when you get it positioned correctly.  Sometimes it's easier than others.  If it doesn't seem to be working back out of it and start over (worked for me).
