Which port in Dublin? Dun Laoighre or the city docks? 
 

if it’s DL there’s the dart train that will bring you into the city far more cheaply and quickly, if it’s the city port it shouldn’t cost much at all and the driver will probably try to get you to pay cash (euros) even though they’re supposed to accept cards. 

Thank you …the port is  Dun Laoighre

Does anyone know what the cab fare would be from the port in Ireland to Dublin City Center?

Can specialty restaurants be booked before you’re on ship?
if so, how far ahead?

We sail in January .  I thought Anthem had a Hibachi restaurant but I’m not seeing it listed in the restaurant section in cruise planner .  I wanted to make a reservation .

Any info is appreciated.

Adult Only Jacuzzi!

I don’t mind drinks in the hot tub ... but I have seen kids in adult only hot tubs time after time .  Wish they’d enforce that rule better. 

( ps- I love kids ... just not in the hot tub)

Loving this review 

Thanks casofilia I figured out the MDR .  

Thanks !!!

We are 120 days out from our cruise on the Jade.

When will we be able to book our dining time ? I don't see it yet in my Cruise Summary.

We stayed in a cabin under the kitchen area once ( another cruise line) ...never again !

We thought how noisy can it be in the middle of the night ....well we found out .

Kitchen preparing for the next day started at 3AM every night ....we heard clanging glassware , rolling carts , pots and pans banging . We didn’t have one good night of sleep the whole cruise .

Yes ... rooms under library and card room are taken . I’m considering moving under spa.

Sailing on the Jade in May .

We wanted a mini suite since it’s an 11 day cruise . Unfortunately mini suites are only available on deck 11 which has the pool , restaurants etc above on Deck 12 . We had a bad noise experience at night with a restaurant above us on a past cruise . So for this cruise we

picked a room that’s below the pool deck hoping that nights will be relatively quiet . Anyone have experience with a room below the pool deck ?

Ship -Anthem of the Seas

Deck - 13

Stateroom # - 13646

Stateroom Category –

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – Not quiet ....this is an extremely noisy cabin . The Coastal Kitchen is directly above and we were woken up every night to carts rolling and pans clanging that some nights continued for almost an hour . Most things in the kitchen are stainless steel and you hear every bang and clang . The rolling carts overhead were awful . Avoid this cabin and any cabin under the kitchen areas if you want a good nights sleep.

Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? -No

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – balcony was a bit bigger than the standard size with a great view,

I sailed on Breakaway and will never cruise on that ship again . The Common areas are very small and crowded and we did not like the layout at all . I’ve cruised on many ships and Breakaway was my least favorite . I sail Anthem in 2 weeks so no review there yet but I like what I’ve heard.

I'm just wondering if there is a thread that has the current dining menu for the 7 night Bahamas, I've seen it on other threads for other ships but can't seem to see one for The Anthem. We have a set dining time of 5:30 . We are sailing March 17th and wanted to take a look at it , Thanks :D

We are also sailing the 17th with 5:30 MTD and would love to see menu.

Wonder if they’ll be serving corned beef and cabbage on the 17th ?

I sail on both RC and Norweigan , i do like Royals ships better but like that Norweigan offers great incentives like free drink packages .

Can you request a table for two? If so do you do it ahead or when you board?

Ok thanks for the information (y)

I hesitated buying online the deluxe beverage package with internet and now the price has jumped from $59 to $63 . Any chance of it going down again before our March sailing ? Worse yet could it go even higher ?

Does anyone know if there’s a comedy show or Improv on Anthem ?

I haven’t seen anything about that .

If there is can you make reservations ahead?

Sure, you can have a table for 2. You may even be able to slip a sheet of paper between your table and the one next to it.

 

Just kidding ... kinda...

 

Obviously not that close to each other, but they are crowded. Random internet picture to illustrate follows (believe it's from Independence of the Seas):

 

 

Ha ha I figured if there were tables for 2 they’d be close . No secret sharing for sure lol

Hubby and I sailing on Anthem in March and have My Time Dining .

Will we be seated with other guests or can we request a table for 2 ?
