4 btb cruises on the anthem of the seas

[Love Cruises]

We are having quite an adventure with our yearly 4 back to back winter cruises this winter ...

Our FIRST SEGMENT left a day late because of the big snowstorm in NY in late January. The Captain cancelled us going to the WESTERN Caribbean and rerouted us to the EASTERN ports.

SECOND SEGMENT was the BIG STORM and we lost 2 days of our 7 day planned cruise. RCI shuttled us and other btb cruisers to the Times Square Intercontinental Hotel in NYC for two nights with very generous food allowances and then returned us to the Anthem.

THIRD SEGMENT - no problems except for about 1400 kids onboard because of mid-winter break. Most were well behaved!

Now our FOURTH SEGMENT the Captain has decided to skip two Caribbean ports (Barbados and St. Kitts) and return to Cape Liberty two days earlier than scheduled because of another storm brewing off of Cape Hatteras. Besides that, there is a really serious noro-virus outbreak onboard. So over those 2 days back in Bayonne, the ship will really be sanitized thoroughly before it sails again on Friday for a 3 day cruise to nowhere.

ROYAL CARIBBEAN has been very good in compensating all the passengers for all the inconveniences they are experiencing. Despite all that has happened, we have had a GREAT TIME on our winter cruise. After all, these have all been just "luxury problems" and there are much more serious things happening to people in the world than losing a few days on a cruise.

BRAVO ROYAL CARIBBEAN FOR KEEPING ALL YOUR PASSENGERS SAFE!
