This is the current version. Yours may come complete.

Should be sent to home address.

 

I would not set expectations too high on these. They are cheap plastic and ours broke by about the second or third trip.

Mine came in the mail broken already.

We have 6 booked currently through April 2020. When new itineraries are released we book right away and collect price drops along the way. Typically 3 cruises per year.

We always get an Interior Stateroom in the middle of Deck 4 between the Centrum and the front stairs/elevators. This area gives quick access to most activities, shows and MDR. Also convenient for a quick pit-stop if needed. ;) Ocean View if you prefer natural light, Interior for darkness. We are rarely in our room except for sleep, shower or change.

These rooms have the affectionate shower curtain. :eek:

We had one of our best cruises on her in April and will be back on her again in December. :D

Another good source for information is Tom's Port Guides. He has PDF files that you can download will a lot of useful information.

I have made this trip three times so far. The Anthem as well as the other cruise ships are too far out to sea. Basically, while you are in port you have coverage -- other than that you will have "cellular at sea" service with applicable data charges unless you have some form of a plan.

 

My point is really this: I'm skeptical that weekend price drops, etc., are all that common. All the drops I've seen are usually around for sometime. The 10% discount is a sure thing on every cruise, every time. The 'weekend price drop' that disappears may happen only rarely.

I have gotten weekend price drops on about a third of my cruises over the years. Residential (NJ), C&A as well as just plain one day price drops.

1986 Emerald Seas - Admiral Cruise Line. (Later acquired by RCL along with Little Stirrup Cay, now Coco Cay)

They still threw streamers when leaving port on sail away.

As I said we did not try the MDR but the guests we met in the DL during the nightly happy our all commented on how Dis appointed they were in the MDR food but food is a very subjective topic what one likes the other may hate.

I saw that you stated you that "we ate all of our dinners in the specialty venues", that was my point regarding specialty restaurants. I do agree with you the specialty restaurants leaves something to be desired. We used to do dining packages all the time until this last time. The decline and leaving something to desire is why we stopped going - except Izumi, still being subjective. I also agree that food taste is highly subjective as I need to look no further than my DW across the table.

We just got off 9N Grandeur on Saturday before you got on. We ate all but one night in the MDR, MTD 2-top. Our food was very good and had the best service we've ever had. The only specialty restaurant we go to now is Izumi as all the others quality have gone down hill almost as much as the prices went up.

Same for me as well 0 and Pre-Gold instead of D+. All future and past cruises listed properly.

Checked info and gender was blank as well, entered male, saved, logged out and back in and it now shows all points and D+ again. IT glitch of the week.

I guess we go against the tide. We prefer Quantum class over Oasis class. Plenty to do on both classes, but Oasis always seemed crowded, venues too small making it hard to get seats if at all. Oasis is the only ship we were on that had a waiting line outside the entrance every day to get a seat in the WJ. Quantum class never seemed crowded. However, Oasis class has better shows and Aqua-Theater.

They are the same. I have stayed in inside cabins on both ships Quantum and Anthem.

BEST time of the year to go!!! Kids back in school YAY!!! and still absolutely beautiful weather. I'm sure people will chime in and say hurricane season, but hurricane season is 1/2 the year! June thru November. Go! Have fun! A great ship and Bermuda is AMAZING.

Hurricane season is just part of the adventure. :D (Speaking from experience with Hurricane Hermine 2016.:cool:)

We cruise Labor Day every year and don't give a second thought about hurricane season.

No, there are not a lot of kids, most are back in school at that time. We have done the Labor Day sailing to Bermuda 4x and never had kid issues.

I have 5 RCL cruises booked, and I check prices daily to see if there are price drops so I can grab the new fare. I noticed that between yesterday and this morning that prices have been adjusted up on all 5 of my cruises, so they must have made some adjustments last night. You could be looking on line at one price then an hour later there's a price change.

That's in preparation for their coming "Easter Sale".

 

I like it better when Royal puts the sale out first and then realizing they forgot to raise the cruise fares. Been awhile since that has happened.

They haven't had a "real" good sale since the original BOGO.

All my rates jumped last night in preparation for their coming "Easter Sale".

Not just you. It's their wonderful website. :rolleyes: Try booking a balcony on Adventure Aug 31, 2019. Shows balcony price at one rate halfway though booking for specific balcony category, then when hit next, price jumps.

Do Junior Suites get to go in the Suite Lounge on Voyager Class ships -- considering JR suite on Adventure.

Thanks for the Izumi Menu pictures as well as all the other menus.

Enjoying your review and the pictures. We will be on the 9N on April 26th. If possible, could you post some pictures of the Izumi menu as we have heard it has changed recently as well. TIA.

OK... are there never any reservations available between 6-7:15pm each evening (meaning walk up only) or am I just too late to the reservation party for my entire crusie? Thank you!

Probably just too late to the party. We book MTD every cruise and have always been able to get the 6:00 dining slot... but I book them as soon as dining options open up in the cruise planner. Usually 9 months or more out. My December cruise I reserved in January.

The second picture is not the Solarium, the is the indoor family pool which is available to kids. Top picture is Solarium.

The second picture is a solarium by definition.

The last two times we were on Anthem, they had a sign posted on the inner pool that it is for 16yrs and older when you came in the entrance from the outer pool area. Perhaps they had changed that since December.

Here is a picture of the solarium.
