Live - Anthem of the Seas Spring Fling Cruise..3-26 to 4-3-2017

[seadog67]

did you notice if pool hours are changed since lifeguards are always present now? and do they stand always in that spot in your pic or walk around. its good they are there now though.

 

 

 

I believe the hours are 9 am to 6 pm. I am not sure if that is different than previous times. The guards do wander around keeping kids from jumping and rough-housing we noticed.

 

Currently clouds moved in and the Anthem is swaying nicely. Internet is spotty maybe a storm in the area.

I'm loving this review!!! I went back to read your Live review of breakaway to Bermuda and I am loving it also just wish I could see videos. I think I heard someone mention on CC that they only stay viewable for 2 years[emoji21]

 

 

 

Awesome! Also the issue with videos on past reports is tapatalk no longer hosts videos so all history is gone video wise from what I see. Now we have to upload to youtube then link. But that works ok as yt keeps them for a long time I think.

Thanks Life is Good Cruising glad you are along with us! Looking forward to Bermuda with you!

 

As to the photos, I do have a Photobucket account but find it is quicker to post directly through tapatalk, though I am sure the quality suffers, one less step in the process is helpful.

 

Also, if anyone is going to post video and such from their phone and not have a laptop or such keep in mind your phone memory will fill up quick and require managing via deleting videos from your phone once they are posted to youtube or whatever service you will use. Just an fyi.

 

I am using my ipad as a backup storage for photos.

After we last checked in, we were sitting in very nice sun and reading the latest edition of

 

 

We then sauntered, not wandered but sauntered through the Solarium

 

 

 

Afterwards the clouds moved in

 

 

So we went to Johnny Rockets for lunch

 

 

Sorry no food pics due to phone charging.

 

Mrs S rated her Chicken Sandwich 3 out of 5 forks, ok but a bit dry.

 

My #12 burger was 3.75 out of 5 forks. Good fresh burger, but nothing extraordinary.

 

Fries were nice and fresh and crispy 4.5 out of 5 forks. Would go back for the fries :)

 

We are now back in the room getting prepped for the All Access Tour ($99 pp if I recall) so we shall see if it is worth it.

 

So get your closed toed shoes and long pants on and meet us at silk restaurant at 1:20pm!

 

See you there :)

Awesome review. We are first time cruisers and we have the oasis booked for next February. Decided it's never to early to start checking out what we should be looking forward to for next February. Thanks.

[seadog67]

We also took a long walk around the track to get some exercise, hope you can keep up lol

 

 

 

On your mark, get set, goooo

 

 

 

 

We have a long straightaway ahead

 

 

Ohh whats this a truck sticking out of the side of the ship??

 

 

It's my home away from home as I am continually banished here in real life

 

 

Hey can we get back to our walk and not get sidetracked !!

Wearing an inner-tube for good measure lol

 

 

Back down the starboard side ( Hello Northstar)

 

 

Lovely view....

 

Can we please keep pace, we are here for exercise not sightseeing !!!

I am a numbers person, how could the subtotal be $11.00 and the total be $9.77? Just wondering :)

Looks like they computed the subtotal without your free Coke discount, then discounted the $1.50 for the total. The gratuity was computed on one Coke however. Makes my head hurt.

 

What I noticed was that your total cost was less than other ships that have the $7pp (or is it $8?) flat fee.

I think 11 + .27 minus .1.50 casino bogo coupon or something brings it down to $9.77 , but Not sure lol

Probably this is the answer. I will admit I prefer the other ships seat and waiter service on the other ships at their Johnny Rockets. Especially when they sing and dance to grease :)

They said they were selling them near Michael's Pub when we were on, but I didn't see anyone. I like to collect them. We are sailing 5/11.

 

I saw on the RCCL Blog the Anthem was having propulsion problems. Hope this doesn't interfere with your cruise.
