    RCCL Mobile Phone Apps; Anthem vs Adventure

    Okay; thanks, @starvenger . So if we want to use our iphones, we basically have to buy a voom package? We're not interested in streaming, just using apps to communicate with those back at home. Any experience with Voom on the Adventure by chance? And when would I use the new Royal CI app to...

    RCCL Mobile Phone Apps; Anthem vs Adventure

    We were on the Anthem of the Seas last year, which is in the Quantum class of ships. We downloaded the Royal IQ app before we left. This gave us the ability to not only use the ship's wifi for free for chatting within the app, but we were also able to for free use our iPhones to text each...

    My Time dinning

    We were just on the Anthem a few months ago and liked the My Time Dining. We reserved 6pm-6:15pm and for excursion days, 6:30pm. We were two separate parties of 2, but we were always able to sit together even when our resi window differed by 15 min. We loved that on the Anthem, there are four...

    On the Adventure of the Seas right now...

    Thank you. How was the Wi-Fi? Was it the Voom only package? Was that what you got? Do you by chance recall the lowest price? Currently I believe it is $13.99 for one device, which is what we'd get. How did your connection back home seem for texting or face time overall? Here is a random...

    On the Adventure of the Seas right now...

    Hi, @mevelandry We'll be on the Adventure of the seas in a few months. We were on Anthem of the Seas last year. We were able to use our iPhone to text and facetime on the ship and also people back at home without having to pay for anything via some glitchy known thing with the ship's Wifi. Do...

    How does Royal compare with Disney

    I just learned something super fantastic that I will preliminarily add to the pros list for Royal Caribbean: I just learned that on the Anthem, their adult only Solarium, which is an immense glass covered indoor pool with fabulous views of the sea, is actually accessible to those 16 years of...

    Evening Entertainment? Anthem

    Ah. Yes, day 3 is the overnight But I can't imagine we'll be off the ship after dinner I'll have to figure it all out . 97 days to go and still no entertainment in the cruise planner.

    Evening Entertainment? Anthem

    So I am doing what I normally do and checking on old itineraries in RCCL's cruise compass for a similar 5 night to Bermuda on the anthem as we'll be doing in a few months. There is not yet availability or opportunity to book the evening entertainment yet. But in looking at previous Cruise...

    How does Royal compare with Disney

    Thanks I can actually get it for $60 in my cruise planner now, but I can't rationalize spending that much since we can bring on a 12 pk and we'll be off the ship for two of the days (I only drink soda in the day for lunch, never with dinner). Just seems steep so I figure I can buy a few cans...

    How does Royal compare with Disney

    We're a family of 5 too and are trying RCCL in June for the first time after 6 DCL cruises. I have no idea what we'll think. It will be on the Anthem, which seems absolutely enormous, so I don't even think it's a side by side comparison (we like the Magic class ships). One thing I will say...

    My Time Dining and Show Times question

    I have a question about My Time Dining: If our cruise planner tells us our dinner time is 6::00pm-6:15pm, does that mean we can arrive at 6:15? What is the expectation? Also, what are the MDRs for My Time? I understand there are two? We are on the Anthem. Thank you!

    Royal Newbies- not able to book any activities-any hope?

    Thank you, @starvenger ! @Denise W I haven't heard anything about when we are able to check in on line w/RCCL. Just as soon as you are PIF?

    Royal Newbies- not able to book any activities-any hope?

    Does RCCL do.a PAT you can book on line ahead of time? I haven't seen mention of that yet. @Denise W @starvenger ?

    Convince me to take the leap and try RCCI ( and share your advice on ships:)

    We'll be on the Anthem for 5 nights to Bermuda this June, too! We've mostly only cruised on DCL and never on RCCL. So many questions!

    booking Northstar and iFly ahead of time

    Yes, I booked both iFly and Northstar about two weeks ago for our cruise in June 2019. Not sure of the normal time frame, though. Some things are still not available to book, like the evening shows.

    Cabin Door Decorations

    Thank you for asking this question! I asked similar questions in a different thread. So we'll be on the Anthem and looks like the doors and walls are steel, I guess that's a given (but our last non DCL cruise the doors weren't magnetic). I'm guessing on the Anthem we can hang a white board...
