BourkeBlogs Posted May 16, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi Some of you may have read my Anthem of the Seas live Transatlantic blog, which seemed to go down fairly well on here, so I am back and will be live blogging the maiden voyage (paying passenger anyway) cruise. We have booked the 4 nighter and the back to back 3 nighter so will be blogging live from this Sunday 22nd May from on board the ship. I'm also taking better kit so I can type quicker, rather than just on my iPhone where most was published from last time. I appreciate we don't sail for a few days, but wanted to set this post up now, so if anyone has anything they want us to find out on board, you can add comments and we will start a list. We will try and find out anything you want to know. If you read my previous thread on Anthem, you will realise there is nothing we didn't find out. I've also just uploaded a pre cruise blog, with our pre cruise experience so far. Last time I uploaded lots on here as well as my own site. This time, I plan to answer questions on here or my blog, but keep the main blogging content on my website. Only reason being I can upload unlimited pics per post and it's much easier for me to edit, so everytime I upload a post I'll add a link on here. You can also subscribe I think, by putting in your email address. The first post is here: http://www.bourkeblogs.com/pre-cruise-royal-caribbean-harmony-of-the-seas-maiden-voyage/ However, please note, I will actively be on this thread during the sailing, so please do post your questions on here as well.

LilBlackDress Posted May 16, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Following :) No questions yet for Harmony, but I am going to go back and read your blog again on Anthem because I am sailing on her before I get to enjoy Harmony!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klstaack Posted May 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I can't wait to follow along. We are booked in June 2017. Only 390 days till sail away :-) I am curious with the new cabin design if the bed in the cabin will follow the bed by balcony, bed by door placement like they are on Oasis and Allure.

We will be taking photos / video of the cabin when we get onboard, so Sunday afternoon (UK time) these should be uploaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted May 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Looking forward to your pictures and opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkunk Posted May 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks so much for doing this! Can't wait to see what she looks like! We have a long wait until we cruise on her in 2018. We wanted to do May 2017, but instead we are doing an Alaska 9 night. Can you please show us where the slides are located? Previously they have shown pictures indicating that the slides would be in the Boardwalk area, but the pictures I have seen lately show them in the pool area. Curious to see where they are exactly. Thanks again! Have fun!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrocks Posted May 16, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 16, 2016 We sailed Anthem in January and loved it. (except for the day I broke my arm & spent the rest of the cruise in a cast. :mad: still doing therapy) We booked a back to back on the Harmony in January 2017. Can't wait to hear of your experiences. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niquein99 Posted May 16, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Subscribing! We sail Harmony in April, 2017, so excited to see your live posts! I'd love to see cabin photos (we have a D7 oceanview balcony cabin), and pictures of the teen areas - Fuel, The Living Room, and the Back Deck. Thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debitoo Posted May 16, 2016 #16 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'm anxious to get your opinion of the D-8 Cabins. We've got 6584 and an inside across the hall 6585 . Can you let me know if this is in a fairly decent location? Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to do this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trixie21 Posted May 16, 2016 #18 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Following - we are going in July from Rome so will be avidly following. I would like to know what price the Internet is on board and how effective the surf only package is. Also if you could upload a copy of the MDR menu on formal night that would be great. I will probably think of a million other questions! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kysportmom Posted May 16, 2016 #20 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Can't wait to see pictures! Thanks for posting. If you have time, will you post a picture of a drink menu?
