robtulipe Posted February 27, 2016 #126 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Wow, that's a drastic change from when I was on her just a few weeks ago, in January. Food was very good in both Chic and Grande, good in American Icon. Didn't make it to Silk. Still looking forward to my cruise on the 7th. I heard it was 60 passengers that were sick. Food was good on our January 3rd Anthem cruise last month as well. :confused: Well, same as you, we'll be checking this out again in just over a week.

SportsFanatic Posted February 27, 2016 #127 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ok.... 1. I'm really not a complainer but.... Food is HORRIBLE. It's the talk of the ship. Nearly every meal has been served cold. If I went on to tell you how bad you'd never believe me. Dried rotting food in the Solarium, spoiled dressings, fishy old fish. There are HUNDREDS of sick crew and guests. They say it's Noro, my guess would be food poisening. . That is very serious. I hope corporate has been notified immediately of this.There cant be any excuse for service rotted spoiled food. Enough complaints I would think they would shut her down and do an investigation.

Mom.to.2 Posted February 27, 2016 #128 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I have a question! A favor, really. Would you be able to take a photograph of the main screen on the Coke machine that shows which beverages are loaded on Anthem Coke machines? I finally kicked my diet soda habit. Instead, I drink sparkling water which is available as sparkling Dasani on some Coke machines I've seen in local restaurants. If the anthem Coke machine carries sparkling Dasani, I plan to pre-purchase a package. I prefer to buy beverage packages before I sell so the symbol is imprinted upon the sea pass instead of just a sticker slapped on top. Thanks!

We were on Anthem this fall and I had the Royal Replenish Pkg. I'm not a soda drinker, but I love sparkling water/seltzer, and yes, these machines had sparkling Dasani. When the machines were working or hadn't run out of stuff, that is. And on our cruise, that was far too often. I hope they are being better serviced now. PS: I'd bought the beverage pkg before sailing but my sea pass card lacked the symbol for it. So I had the sticker. No biggie. :) Anthem is stunning; have a great cruise!

Much better than a sticker that falls off when you take it into a hottub:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted February 27, 2016 #132 Share Posted February 27, 2016 What's the updated info on Noro? Are they still letting you serve yourself in the WJ? That's usually the clue to how bad it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than a sticker that falls off when you take it into a hottub:) Get a WOW band, and you'll never have to take your sea pass card to the pool deck. :) (Seriously, we really liked having the bands. I realize they are charging for them now, but I'd buy one. Worth it for the convenience. Also much easier to open your cabin door, especially when you are carrying something.)

Do you know whether the wow bands can be programmed to open 2 different cabins? We're sailing in 2, connected cabins.

Life is Good Cruising Posted February 27, 2016 #142 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Where is the storm? The storm is brewing in the Gulf states, you can go to Weather dot com and see where it is developing.

Rivergal1 Posted February 28, 2016 #147 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Been there. There is some confusion as to whether Dru Pavlov is actually on Allure, or is going to Anthem. Just trying to clear that up. Dru Pavlov was on the Allure Feb 15-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbonz Posted February 28, 2016 #148 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Sorry if this was asked are they charging for the wow bands now? We will be on the ship the end of march and is it worth it. thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be on the ship the end of march and is it worth it.thanks, Yes, it cost $5. We didn't think the WOW were that useful and used a card holder lanyard, shown below, on our Anthem cruise last month and on March 3rd. This had a zippered pocket for tip money. We had no problem having our cards scanned when it was in the card sleeve and it was easy to remove to hand to the waiters in the bars and theater for drink purchases as they didn't have portable scanners. There's also a thread about this here on CC.

BND Posted February 28, 2016 #150 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/storm-pound-eastern-us-heavy-rain-spotty-ice-gusty-winds-flooding-travel-delays-tuesday-wednesday-thursday/55580655 I'm pretty sure that's about last week's storm. This week's storm on Wed isn't supposed to be as big or as severe. Plus, it's way too early to put out that specific of severe weather forecast for 4 days from now. Also, the talk about the squall line, we had one this past week but it wasn't forecast til the day before or so. Accuweather pretty much sucks anyway. But, a low is supposed to form and move either up or off the coast Th-Fri bringing snow/ice to the mid-atlantic.
