LIVE from ANTHEM of the Seas - October 20, 2016

[hapster85]

Agreed. Bermuda is the reason why I booked this cruise 19 months ago. I'd rather be safe though so I'm not complaining.

 

And as Courtney said - even if we went to Bermuda we probably wouldn't go to Horseshoe Bay anyway since it would be raining the whole time.

 

Nine nights plus Bermuda was what first drew us to our Anthem cruise. Our already short stay was shortened even further by the ship arriving in port about 3 hours late.

 

Sounds like a good reason to book another one. Even though we just got back from the Liberty, seeing your room pics makes me really miss the Anthem. That ship definitely spoiled us. 😎

 

 

No poolside readers. Its a good idea to get different color bands amongst your traveling party to reduce confusion upon the server returning them.

 

WOW band color is dictated by muster station. My wife was less than thrilled that hers was yellow. Maybe someone should make a chart. Lol

Since you are eating healthy don't forget that the bananas may be in a bowl between the ketchup and mayo.:D

They must have run out of colors. When I was on in Nov and March we could pick which ever color you wanted. They had all colors (3) for most muster stations.

That's what we were told at the time, but you know how that goes.

Mr. Jarvis,

 

First off...Hel-Low! That is absolutely still the case and I was on the Anthem less than a month ago. My whole family had different colors and we all had the same muster station.

Interesting. They had black, white, yellow and blue but we had to take the white ones because of our muster station.

How did you get the cases of water on board?

 

 

 

Was water in your checked luggage

curious as well!

 

 

I put each case of water in a duffel bag, put a luggage tag on both bags and gave it to the porter. They both showed up to our room.

Dinner at Chops last night was great. I started off with a Mesclun Salad and Shrimp Cocktail.

 

 

[Yorkvillain]

Courtney had the Short Rib.

 

 

I had the Grilled Branzino. I will definitely get this again.

We have an angled balcony too and love it.

Kicking off Day 2 with a little egg white veggie omelette while sitting in the outdoor section of the windjammer.

 

Meet & Mingle scheduled for 9:30 AM.

 

 

[nolesrule]

Did that pepper on your omelette come from a pepper grinder or shaker?

Haha! I just saw that thread at like 2 AM last night. Instant classic.

[Yorkvillain]

Ok so I blew off the Meet & Mingle for the North Star. There was virtually no line. I couldn't pass that up.

 

I periscoped the entire ride if anyone is interested.

[Yorkvillain]

Wait a minute. Are Gigi and the North Star related???? The resemblance is uncanny. Why has nobody addressed this important question before???

 

 

[Yorkvillain]

Quick speedtest from our balcony.

 

[John&LaLa]

Missed the scope, dang work

OMG, that's huge, almost as big as the aft facing balcony we had on the Disney Dream and Fantasy. They should have put real loungers out there.

 

Thank you for taking the time to post the photos.

 

Agreed, real loungers would be nice! But... the hammock sufficed! haha

 

and you're welcome. :)

[A&L_Ont]

Way to go with the egg white omelette. They aren't the most exciting thing out there but you are sticking to the doctors orders.

[MrWhiplash]

Looks great, how was the weather thus far? Im stepping on the ship next Saturday as you get off.

[CruiseLifeRick]

I missed C&A Trivia!!!!! I was twitching at my desk not being able to comment. I cannot believe only 9 points won.

I know. I only got 8. But to be fair, everyone else were in groups of 4+. I was pretty much on my own because Courtney is not a loser like I am with this stuff.

The weather is nice today. I think it's fair to say that the captain made the right move skipping Bermuda.

My second of two salads that I inhaled at Cafe Two70.
