Anthem in the winter is pretty great. Something so cool about leaving in cold weather and then a day and a half later you are in the Caribbean.🎉 They are swapping out Anthem and Oasis for Symphony and Odyssey in '24 so I need to get some more Anthem dates booked before she's gone. Love the Vlogs. 😎
Happy to see a new series! I've been looking at Cape Liberty as a possible spot for a future cruise. Would be nice to drive to a port instead of always flying...even if it's a 4-hour drive.
Cape Liberty is pretty convenient here in the Northeast. The direct surroundings are a bit industrial, but not having to fight NYC traffic more than makes up for it IMO.
That's a pretty cool video. Im taking my first cruise next month (kinda) on the Anthem. I worked in the Casino Dept for four years but never for RCL or as a Pax
Umm, saving the freebies for the evening, plus finding a favorite bar & bartender early, then being regulars? 100% the correct play. Obvious cruise pros.
Did you guys book a lot of cruise suites in the past to get to diamond status so quick? We've been on about 10 cruises but only two with royal with our third coming up this November. We decided book only Royal Caribbean cruises moving forward for the fantastic benefits of the Diamond and Diamond plus loyalty perks.
We have not cruised in a suite before, we tend to book cheaper cabins so that we can cruise more often, which is how we have accumulated more points. We really do love the perks that Royal Caribbean offers for Diamond and above!
We still loved this cruise! We knew our way around the ship and what to expect with the entertainment and food. Most food in the buffet was the same, but most food across Royal Caribbean ships are the same!
I noticed diamond lounge did not have your favorite chocolate covered strawberries. Is that gone now? I'm guessing you still get a sea pass card for buying stuff and casino points? Enjoying your vlog as usual. I won't hit diamond until 2/2024 after the Vision OTS cruise. Hence the questions.
Hey Tara! We were also surprised to not see the chocolate covered strawberries the first day. The diamond lounge did end up having them for a few of the days. We have found the diamond lounge snacks vary between cruises however the strawberries are usually a staple! They do give you a sea pass card as well however, our WOW bands did work in the shops as well as the casino. As always, thank you for watching our vlogs ☺️
That is very exciting, we love Oasis! We did not do any sight seeing however we did get two hotels on the way to do some shopping. It was a 9 hour drive so we did one hotel right over the boarder and one near the cruise terminal. Many people do go early to explore New York before the cruise. We hope you have a great cruise ☺️
@@thecruisingsisters can I ask which hotels you stayed at? It’s a 12 hour drive for us ( Sudbury, ON ) we have the same plans, hotel just over the boarder and one closer to the port. This will be our first Royal Ship, we have done 5 Disney Cruises and 1 Norwegian. We will be cruising same time, March 2024, over spring break. Great videos! Thanks!
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my first non-themed cruise that I took in February. I was supremely disappointed. Now I'm torn, and a little depressed about it. Do I really not like cruising or did I not like that company and ship.
Parking was very easy! There was lots of parking spaces available and the parking garage is located right beside the cruise terminal. You pay outside of the parking garage at the end of your cruise. $25 per day for a 7 night cruise. We hope you have a great time on Oasis ☺️
