That is peak time. Go earlier. Don't worry about the checkin time. If you're early, you can check your luggage and walk over to the 911 memorial and get views of the harbor and take pictures of the ship. You can also go through security and check in. If they're boarding you can just walk on the ship.

Thank you for your help

How do your pictures show up nice and big using taptalk? I tried that and the picture was small. I have an iPhone 6S and was posting it from that

It's about 20 minutes without traffic. If you wait until 10-10:30AM to be picked up at the hotel, the cab or Uber should get you there with no problems.

Thank you!! Do you know if there are long lines to get into the port? I was planning on leaving the hotel around 11:00 am we have a check in time of noon. If there will be long lines I can get there earlier

Hi, first time sailing out of Cape Liberty. I am staying at the Fairfield Inn by the Newark Airport and was wondering on Thursday how long it would take to get to the pier? I think it's a short distance but wasn't sure about traffic. Is a cab the best way to go?

thanks

Excited about cruising June 2 !!! Booked this cruise almost a year ago and it's really close. Started packing (I usually over pack and I'm trying to get better, ha) and wondering what the weather is like onboard and at ports. Hot, chilly at night, rain? Any feedback from recent cruisers would be fantastic ! thanks in advance.

 

 

 

*this is my 4th cruise. :)

Finally after all the planning it's so close! I've been watching the weather in Bermuda and it's been I the 70's, the other ports should be in the 80's

How many pools are actually on the ship? I read somewhere 23 but is that including hot tubs?

Trying to see if using the tapatalk app is better for posting pics

I'm interested in hearing about your experience, too. We are flying tomorrow night from ORD to SEA. Our flight is at 7:55 pm, but we are aiming to be at the airport by 4 pm to give us plenty of time just in case security lines are bad. I've been watching the wait times on MiFlight and the MyTSA apps this past week. For evening flights, it seems like the lines start getting bad a little after 4:30 pm and through the rest of the evening.

Robb, how were the lines?

I'm following 3 people on periscope that are on Harmony. They all are having a good time, no complaints so while everything might not be finished there are other people having a good time. I hope you enjoy your cruise and don't go looking for problems

I will be on Anthem next week and I can try to find the answers to your questions and report back. I will be doing a live review and periscope.

Were you using iMessage for texting?

Bob, not sure I think so. Sorry I'm not really iPhone savy, my kids usually have to help me. I know the basics and I'm good with that. I really prefer the Samsung phone to the iPhone.:p

Thanks for the van recommendations, I will definitely go that route over the bus:D

One more thing I forgot in my previous post. I have an iPhone and I could only text other iPhone users. My son back home had an android and he could not text me.

I have T-Mobile and was on Indy in March. I bought the internet package. I put my phone in airplane mode and connected to the ships wi-fi and never had any additional charges. To be safe when in port I just kept my phone in airplane mode and only used it for pictures. I will be on Anthem next week and plan on doing the same thing.

Awesome review thank you!! I get to experience this beauty next week. About Bermuda, is the van better than the bus? How did you get back to the ship from the beach, call the van back or do they make regular stops?

PERISCOPING LIVE from RADIANCE OTS in ALASKA starting Friday May 27 -June 3 2016 | FOLLOW ME @ Rich_Triplett

How long were the TSA lines at O'hare? I'm flying next Wed and not sure how early to get to the airport

What the heck is periscoping:confused:

 

did RCCL buy a Sub?

is this some new onboard ship experience?

It's an app that you can download to your phone. Then you can interact with others and follow their experiences. So when someone is on a cruise you can see in real time what they are doing if they are scoping. They can save the videos for 24 hours. It's pretty cool. Some people scope all kinds of things, walking their dog, driving, shopping. People that are watching live then can interact with one another and the person hosting the scope can answer questions.

Great review!! I'm doing the 9 night June 2nd.

Im going to periscope Anthem on June 2nd, @peeker28

Thank you for your review, when you were trying to book the puzzle room was that on embarkation day?

Following along here and periscope

Just an FYI. Some states are definitely different on the way they issue IDs. I'm from Ohio where they issue driver licenses and state IDs immediately so I never worried much before traveling and only got a passport once I had an international trip planned. However, I moved to Missouri a couple of years ago and was shocked to find out they only issue temporary paper licenses and your plastic one gets mailed out like 10 days or so later. Who does that, right?! Fortunately, my passport is still valid for a few more years but I would never consider not having one now. Living in a state that does paper, it sure feels like a gamble to me to not have some other form of photo ID when you have a trip planned. I could see authorities from another state or RCI or customs giving someone a big hard time if trying to use that piece of paper. Just another reason to have a passport I guess.

The paper DL is because of the new federal regulations, all states will be going that way soon. Illinois will be the same as Missouri next year I believe. You should have the Enhanced DL, those are the ones they recommend to fly with now

St. Thomas port security requires you to have photo ID to match to your seapass card to get back in the port area.

I had no issue in St. Thomas re-boarding. I didn't bring my ID and only had my sea pass

Was there a glow party? 70's night? Did you do the puzzle room, if yes was it only offered 1 day?

Nice picture
