buffi001 Posted February 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I haven't cruised in six years and things have changed. I have a few questions Is there a special room for Diamond members for Breakfast. If so , where is it ? Is it true that you now have to pay for hot breakfast by room service? Do you still get discounts for things like internet packages, spa packages, excursions etc ? what is the difference between the two internet packages?

Clarea Posted February 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2017 In Anthem, the hot items on the breakfast room service menu are extra cost. The Surf & Stream package has higher bandwidth limits than the Surf Only package. You are supposed to be able to stream video with the Stream package.

Rare xpcdoojk Posted February 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I don't think there is a diamond hot breakfast thing on the Anthem. I didn't do room service breakfast on my cruise. They do charge after midnight before breakfast for room service, but I don't know about hot items at breakfast. I did go to the diamond lounge each morning for cappuccinos and breakfast items, Austrian Stritzel, fruit, etc. There is a diamond discount for many items, I am sure someone will post the list for you. I am not aware of any discounts ever on excursions, but maybe I am naive.:eek: Theoretically, the speed, but unfortunately most of the time the speed is bad.

jakethecruiser Posted February 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The two internet packages are wifi and/or cellular. Cellular I believe costs more but the wifi is a bit slower cuz of all the people using it. So choose wisely and I recommend using the wifi.

Surf and surf and stream. Neither has cellular data, that would be with your own phone company and be quite expensive. Surf and stream is faster and has greater bandwidth available so you can stream movies, FaceTime etc., while surf is good for checking e mail, basic internet searches etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted February 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2017 what is the difference between the two internet packages? $5/day (13 vs 18) on board (can only get Stream precruise) and about 8x the speed (.5 Mbps for Surf and up to about 4 Mpbs for Stream). The speed increase (of Stream) does not necessarily translate into that much faster real world experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed increase (of Stream) does not necessarily translate into that much faster real world experience. On a recent Anthem cruise with stream I was able to watch videos, use FaceTime and google hangouts. The video quality was excellent.

Life is Good Cruising Posted February 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2017 At night, if crowded, the happy hour overflow from the Diamond Lounge is in the Music Hall on Deck 4 and there's also a door in the Lounge that opens into the Music Hall.
