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

[EeyoreFan1967]

Our cabin is close to yours, I think. Aft, port, deck 11. Please report about the noise when you have a chance.

Loving your review Seadog67. Myself, Wife, Daughter and Sister-in-law are on Anthem next Sunday and are really looking forward to it. We love the Freedom and Oasis class ships so we thought we would give the in-between size ship a try.

 

I totally get the luggage issues you had. We are currently packing for our flight out from Scotland on Friday. I'm taking my Kilt for the formal nights which takes up room and weight!! Only 4 days to work.

 

Looking forward to reading your review to keeps us going until we board. Hope you have great weather and a great trip.

 

 

 

Thanks Maxy! Hope you all have a wonderful time! And yes luggage and flights are getting worse, but we tend to overpack so good luck with your packing!

I sure will. Check back later in the week, and remind me if I do not comment on it and I will give impressions if any on noise in this area.

Luca's Sangiovese,

 

 

Nice and dry, very nice mild flavor. The house Chardonnay is also very nice and buttery for the wine lovers

Main course

 

Eggplant Parm (Mr S)

 

 

4 out of 5 forks. Thick cuts of eggplant which is unusual compared to many restaurants. I enjoyed it as the eggplant was tender and flavorful.

 

Tageitlli Bolognese Mrs S

 

 

5 out of 5 forks.. nice rich flavor!

Thanks amkras! I will try, we are having fun but fading fast early tonight. Have a great time in July!

 

Missed the 6:30 welcome aboard showing, now just wandering. More in a bit, and hopefully a day one summary video later if I do not crash.

 

Thanks for following along everyone!

Thank you for taking the time on your cruise to post. We love Quantum class too. We have sailed Quantum and Ovation and are thinking about an Anthem sailing next year to Canada.

 

Your stateroom looks great! It seems very spacious.

Love your report. I will be following. Live NJ and RCL out of Bayonne is looking very interesting.

 

Thanks for taking the time to do this.
