We were not allowed to use the Diamond voucher on the Oasis in May.  We had to use the 1/2 price coupon loaded on our sea pass card.

I'm on the Mariner Saturday and lobster tails were on the app but are also gone.  It think (hope) it's just a glitch because all I get on days 6-8 are the kids menu

The App will show the menus depending on the current sailing of the ship.  If they are currently on a 5 night cruise you will only see 5 nights in the App and nothing for the other days for the longer cruise you are on.  Any cruise of 6 nights or more should have a lobster night usually on the next to last night of the cruise.

The following is direct from the FAQ section on the Royal website.  

Is the Solarium pool heated?

It's possible the friend was talking about drinks served in the Diamond lounge which are only available for a few hours in the evening.  

The current CD on Anthem is Mark Rous.

In the new cruise planner, they are adding 12% tax to all Perfect day excursions including cabanas. 

Thanks!  That would explain the amount.  Are they doing this with excursions at other places in the new cruise planner or just Coco Cay?

I booked a couple of items today for Perfect Day at Coco Cay.  It was the Coco Beach Club and also the Balloon Ride.  You can see the prices below.  When I checked out, there was $15.10 of taxes/fees added to the transaction.   You'll see the 2 excursions don't equal the Total Paid amount.  Does anyone know what the reason for the taxes/fees are?  I didn't see any small print about gratuities on either item.

We are sailing on the Anthem on NYE.  We just got an email today replacing Labadee with St. Thomas.  Due to the changes we are losing out on a cabana we got at a very discounted rate at Labadee ($157 instead of the standard $263).  Also due to the changes, our stop in San Juan is now from 4 - 11 instead of 1 -10.  This means we won't be able to do the trip to El Yunque that we wanted.  However, we will be away from home on a cruise ship on a New Years cruise so all will be okay!!

Dear Guest,

As part of the guidance received from the CDC, we’ve implemented new boarding and as a result, we’ll now depart from Cape Liberty, New Jersey at 5:00 PM, instead of 3:00 PM. Separately, to maintain your safety and wellbeing, we’ll no longer visit Labadee due to the current political and security situation in Haiti, so instead, we’ll visit Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. As a result of this change, we’ve adjusted the time we’ll spend in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We know how much time and effort go into planning your vacation, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by this. We’re excited to take you to a new port and know you’ll have an excellent time! Below, please find our revised Anthem of the Seas December 31^st, 2021 itinerary.

The vibrant capital of Puerto Rico, San Juan offers something for every traveler - world-famous beaches with crystal clear waters, incredible cuisine, rugged natural beauty, and a rich history that goes back 500 years. Enjoy exploring colonial landmarks, like Blackbeard’s Castle, or sip on some local lager at a quaint microbrewery in Charlotte Amalie. Then in St. Maarten, discover beautiful beaches, rolling hills, and mountains - all offering spectacular panoramic views. Whether you’re looking for thrills or simply want to chill, these ports have something for everyone!

Our Shore Excursions team will automatically reschedule any pre-paid Royal Caribbean International shore excursions impacted by this change. Any pre-paid Royal Caribbean International shore excursions booked for Labadee will automatically be refunded to your original form of payment. In the next few days, your updated tour information will be e-mailed to you. In the meantime, feel free to browse all the exciting shore excursion options for your sailing in Cruise Planner.

Thanks for your understanding. We can’t wait to welcome you onboard Anthem of the Seas!

So it appears they have changed over to the new menus. My wife is a lover of the cold soups. I didn't see one on the formal night menu you posted. Please let us know if they do have cold soups on most of the menus.

Even better would be if you could continue to post them throughout your review.

Was fortunate to see them on the Anthem on the Nov 25, 2017 cruise. They were unbelievable!! During the show they announced they were going to do a few songs with Jam in the Schooner bar later that evening. Well, 3 of the members showed up around 11:30pm. They joined Jam as well as several of the other entertainers on board. The entertainment was terrific and we were sitting about 10 feet from the action. This was by far the highlight of that cruise!!
