The Anthem gets real..thanks Royal

[ChipLondon]

Today The Anthem of the Seas became a reality to us, with invitations being received for the Launch Event in April in Southampton.

Once again I am proud to say that Loyalty pays, and we look forward to sailing on this new ship for its first official cruise after the naming celebrations. :D

I hope she is in better condition than what the Quantum was in when that first sailed.

Nice backdoor brag...

[ChipLondon]

No back door here, I am happy to Brag, and to get the invite :eek:

 

Good luck with your next Half Marathon or Iron Man, but of course you are not bragging about it ..............

Congrats! Loyalty does pay!

 

And nice catch, there. The longer I stick around, the more I realize that it's a rare occurrence that the first page of a thread here goes without some type of negativity. The wife and I really hope to avoid these types of people on our upcoming cruise.

 

Enjoy Anthem! You deserve it!

Awww... :(

 

Chip, congratulations. Sounds wonderful. :)

Congrats Dave & Anita, I hope you both have a wonderful time on Anthem :D

 

I am guessing the Naming is a two nighter before 22nd April Inaugural ?

Hmmm, it appears the "green-eyed monster" (jealousy) has raised it's ugly head. :rolleyes:

[Turtles06]

Have fun!

 

And for those not following the Anthem construction thread, the float out was just announced for Feb. 21. Nice pic of the ship as well (and thanks to poster Lloyd555 for the info):

How nice for you. Enjoy the festivities!

Congrats , very cool

[ED MARYANN]

That's great we will be on her in April 2016:)

[shipshape sam]

Great news about the invite!

 

Royal should show loyalty. I know Chip lived on Allure when it launched for the first month.

[ChipLondon]

Thanks Sam, you know the truth, and thanks to all that understand how loyalty should work both ways. The benefits that people get from their custom should not only be restricted to those stated on the C&A lists. The only reason I have cruised the amount I have, is because on every cruise my custom has been appreciated, and I have always considered that I have enjoyed a value for money cruise experience.

I work hard for my leisure money, over the years I have spent a lot on Wine, Women, and Cruises..........the rest of it I have just wasted :eek:

I sir am going to quote you prolifically on this and then claim it as my own.

Congrats ChipLondon- when you are Pinnacle i think you really DO HAVE bragging rights! :)

I'm sorry.

 

That was amazing.

[steamboats]

Seems like the ship is filling up ;)! DH received a note that we should save the date.

[Elizanessie]

I wonder if any DPlus members will get invites ?

 

I guess it depends on how many pre-inaugurals they are planning.

[steamboats]

Liz,

 

So far I´ve only heard about this one (April 20th-22nd). There´s been only one for Southampton for the Quantum last year. The others have been out of New York. As the Anthem will stay in Southampton I don´t think there will be more than this.

In the past there have been quite few pre-inaugurals for new ships in Southampton, I was invited on Liberty Pre-Inaugural, Independence Naming & Equinox Naming.

 

The reason there was only one pre-inaugural in Southampton for Quantum was because there was simply not enough time before the Maiden Voyage for any more.

 

As Anthem is showing on the Southampton Port Schedule as arriving on 15th April -

 

ANTHEM OF THE SEAS 15-Apr-15 AM 18-Apr-15 PM 101 INTERCRUISES

 

And there are further entries also -

I would think actually there will be more than one Pre-inaugural. :D
