Pat, I think you meant later. East Coast is almost 7pm. I’m on West coast and it’s almost 4pm Are you going to make it to 12? I was on Navigator last New Years with my 2 daughter and grandkids, and none of us made it…LOL

What ship?

The person that made this isn’t on the cruise, and even said she’s never been on one. She researched other TikTok accounts and came up with this…she is getting this info from the others that are on the cruise. Looking for followers and clicks. One TikToker who is not in attendance but is having some fun at the spectacle created an Ultimate World Cruise bingo card so we can all follow along at home.

The trick is on debarkation day, get an elevator going up, grab your spot, and then just ride it up, then down…LOL

There are a couple pairs of sisters, who are traveling with their parents. It’s not always Patreon. It’s all about followers and clicks. Some older vloggers on YouTube do very well from posting content. But I also find their content much more interesting and informative.

The ones I’ve seen are on the full cruise. Don’t know about meetings.

Not a ton. A few TikTokers (I don’t do Tik Tok), and I only see some of their stuff, if it pops up on YouTube and IG. There are several older folks vlogging, and I have been following them on YouTube. @Merion_Mom (Carol), had started a thread that those on the cruise could share their, vlogs, blogs, social media sites, so I subscribed to a few on YouTube. But most are easy to find there, by just doing a search on ultimate world cruise.

If you pay pre cruise, you are already getting a discounted price. So no, you don’t get credit. If you only need internet for a day or 2, you will get the credit from the on board price. Usually $26-30 per day.

Yes it was

I did this in Sept. Agree with above poster. It was much better than sitting in the airport for 7-8 hrs. Plus you can’t check bags until 3-4 hours before flight.

You mentioned a Suite….you may not need a drink package. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-are-the-benefits-of-the-suites-program?

I think they could if it was tweaked to a shorter 70-120 day cruise. Other cruise lines do this very successfully, and at lower price, albeit still expensive. This one was definitely a niche cruise, that most probably could never afford, but maybe could a shorter length. I know for me personally, I couldn’t handle either, but lots could. I’m waiting to see how everyone is feeling at the 3 month, 6 month range, 9 month mark. 😉

I have not done the Anthem, but I have done the ports. I did NZ in Apr. as part of a B5B on the Ovation. We did miss 2 NZ ports because of weather, and another 1 on the TP. NZ was chilly and the Asia ports, hot and humid. I didn’t prefer one over the other, so it really comes down to your preferences. If you are LOTR fans, NZ may be better for you. I remember excursions with anything having to do with LOTR were pricey. I did just book the Anthem B2B for Apr/2025, since I love Singapore and it is going to ports I have never been too,except Vietnam.

I think you meant to say “check luggage”. You definitely want those documents in your carry on.

I’m a glass half full person. If I worried about what could or would happen 6 months to 2 years in advance, I would be at the Drs. monthly with ulcers. Things happen and there is nothing we can do about it. It is what it is. I just put negative Nellie’s (or Ned’s) on my ignore list. Makes it much easier to find important info that comes up, like Deployment, which this thread is about.

Yes, asking the cabin attendant is a last resort. I have known 2 personal situations, where it was asked in advance, but was not done. I don’t blame steward/stewardess, it’s the communication getting the info to them.

Maybe I will try that in Oct. Singapore Sling is definitely to sweet for me normally, but I had to try one.

Your cabin attendant can also change it once you board.

I never received either, so maybe I will get something. I turned Diamond back in 2019, but have only sailed Carnival once since then. I was saving my dinner to share with a friend. The plan was the Oct/2024 TP on the Panorama.

I feel that way about grumpy, rude passengers too. 😉

Be prepared for the price tag on that Singapore Sling at the Longbar at Raffles. But it’s the history and novelty, so you just pay it. LOL

Let me look around. I’m following a few vloggers and can’t remember their name. It was from a distance and just a short clip of the show, but I recognized the hair. LOL Edit…found it. About the 1:16 mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gNY3Baqgkk

Yup, saw this on a vloggers video on YouTube. I said to myself, That’s Laura up there, shaking her groove thing…haha

I have been through 4 of these. I just wish it was this many people.. I have 2 more coming up and I avoid the crowds.

I know because she is missing 2 cruises she sailed with me. They don’t show on her past cruises. I also know because of all the past cruises she sailed with me, which she got credit for. What’s funny is my youngest got credit for one cruise (both daughters), but my oldest was only on 2000 cruise. So my oldest should show all the cruises she sailed with me.
