  1. It realizes if you are using a US credit card and does not require a pin.
  2. My Dad so agreed. Salt water cures everything 😉 he would say. On Anthem, my husband just took this photo. We are enroute to Sardinia.
  3. Captain Toni left Anthem today. I think the new captain is Captain Srecko.
  4. I noticed that also, but someone else commented that only the bar code matters, so just make sure that shows in the screen shot.
  5. We sailed on MSC once (Meraviglia) in a balcony cabin and with Aurea experience. The "anytime dining" was truly anytime for us and worked beautifully. There was some excellent live music. The ship was beautiful. Aurea included access to the thermal spa, which was nice. We did not enjoy the buffet. It was extremely linear in nature and we found the food of average quality. The drink dispensers in the buffet were often not working or supplies e.g. tea bags not available or depleted and not replaced/maintained. Brooklyn was not as convenient or easily accessible a departure point as Bayonne NJ or NYC. However, your opinion on that might vary depending on where you live.
  6. We did the hot glass class for two on Eclipse. I made one of the included items (starfish) and my husband made the whale's tail. He had to pay extra. It was fun, but I think a one-time thing for us.
  7. CoCo Cay has some lovely spots. And you do not need to spend anything for chairs, umbrella, food. For example, go to South Beach area, go far left or right on the beach for more quiet. We have found that if you are there late afternoon, most people have already gotten back on the ship and you have the place to yourself. Or get off the ship very early for same... If you have young children/grandchildren (approx 7 and under), no need to pay for the "thrill park." Plenty of other options including "galleon" ship, splashaway/slide area, pools, beaches. OP, you might be fine also depending on your 8 your old grandchild's interests. Happy cruising.
  8. The first few days it won't be bad, but I do think it will eventually bother the top of your head as well. Just being honest. It hurts after a while.
  9. @Sea Dog I have used the cream under the generic name. It causes your skin to get all red and irritated. It looks awful but does go away after treatment -- in my case it was supposed to be used for a couple weeks. I have used it on my forehead and also my lips (ouch - that was hard to take). The idea is to kill pre-cancerous cells/stuff.
  10. Thanks. We only walk. No cabs. But clearly we missed it .... or all I remember is some long stairs. 😉 If anyone dines/drinks at the new place, I hope they leave some feedback on their experience.
  11. Has Blackbeards been closed a long time? I have been to Bermuda and St. George (and the beach in front of what is now the St. Regis) numerous times over the last 20 years, but somehow missed Blackbeards.
  12. Bar hopping in Nashville is fun. Lots of country stars have bar/restaurants and then there are the famous ones such as Tootsies. Check out Assembly Hall for a lot of food / restaurant options. Hotels are expensive, but best to stay in/near downtown if you can especially for one night, just for convenience. Enjoy! 🎶 🎸
  13. We were there earlier this month and confirm we purchased the booklet at the ferry terminal at Hamilton. Credit card required.
  14. We prefer mid-ship. I looked at the Wonder deck plan and I don't think it would make too much difference if you were on 11 or 12. I think I would personally lean towards 11. I would just suggest you make sure there are staterooms above and below the one you are booking. And consider whether you would prefer forward, mid, or aft of the ship. Enjoy your cruise!
  15. My only caution would be that in warmer weather, it gets a lot more crowded!! Not sure of impact on snorkeling.
  16. Can someone give me an idea of approximately how much it costs if we walk up and pay for Waterloo to Southampton train day of cruise? July 2024. Thank you.
  17. They did not give us anything additional on board (Eclipse). If you chose an item beyond the basic ones included, they would charge the extra and give you the discount on that (and then add a service charge). Interesting. In any case, we enjoyed it. I don't care if we can experience hot glass somewhere near my home, it was just the fun of doing it on a ship.
  18. PS Can't beat dinner basically by yourselves on the aft of buffet .... it was 2nd formal night and we are not big lobster fans....
  19. Continuation of a few more photos from our Celebrity Eclipse cruise... Day 2 of Bermuda. We took the ferry to St. George. We then proceeded on one of our long walks... above is Tobacco Bay ... Day 3 of Bermuda. Bus to Somerset Bridge. Then walked the Bermuda Railway Trail to Gibbs Lighthouse. Lighthouse was beautiful but might need a paint touch-up! Bermuda is really a wonderful place with gorgeous water and views .... and very kind people.
