CruiseLifeRick Posted May 22, 2017 Author #179 Share Posted May 22, 2017 So the weather never really improved today, so we decided to just get a taxi to give us a tour for a few hours. The rate was $50/hour and we spent about three hours touring the western end of the island mostly around St. George. We had a great taxi driver, Craig, who was very informative and friendly. Here are some pictures from the day. This guy was located at the Botanical Gardens where we got out and walked around for about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it was still a bit early in the season for this place to really be in full bloom.

CruiseLifeRick Posted May 22, 2017 Author #180 Share Posted May 22, 2017 We enjoyed her too last June. She was actually moved to the Sunshine bar in the Solarium which we found out in March and is still on board as far as I know. Sent from my iPhone using Forums She is still here. Receiving my first hit of her wittiness right now. Really pushing me to make my way over to the Snorkel Park club tonight. Apparently she will be there.

heathermiller86nj Posted May 23, 2017 #183 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Really enjoying your review. Anthem is our favorite ship. Do you know if Stephanie is working by the Solarium bar? She is one of the nicest employees we've ever met and it's worth getting a drink there to get to talk to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just want you to know that your review has triggered the itch and I'm now stalking a 9-nighter on Anthem next summer to Bermuda/Caribbean. This is all your fault. :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving your review again:D.

gizmo42 Posted May 23, 2017 #190 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Hi Rick, Thanks for a great review and pictures so far. You are helping with my research for a family cruise hopefully sometime 2018/2019. I will be taking my 4 children (ages 30-40) and their spouses. Since three of my kids have cruised the last 4 or 5 years on Freedom class ships with the 70000 tons of metal (a theme cruise with lots of heavy metal bands playing throughout the day) they wanted to try a different class Royal ship. I am looking at Oasis and Quantum classes first. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euphscott Posted May 23, 2017 #194 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) I would say 11 AM would be the absolute most risk I would be willing to take and that's assuming you are planning to walk off with your luggage. The airport is very close to Cape Liberty and on a Saturday morning traffic will be very minimal. Sent from my iPhone using Forums We were a Group 5 disembark on Anthem last Saturday. We hit the airport about 10:00 - we took a taxi direct to the airport. Traffic was not too bad and security line was prompt. But about 10 minutes after we sat in the waiting area, the terminal got busy - so it's an ebb and flow. What we did notice that was unusual for us, the great majority of the ship is not dashing off to the airport like most Florida sailings, so you are doing a bit of a zig while the rest of the crowd is zagging. I hope that helps a little... Edited May 23, 2017 by euphscott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted May 23, 2017 #195 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I am treating my daughter and her family to an Anthem cruise on June 3rd. She asked me if there was a charge for plain seltzer. I've been on the ship 9 times, but don't drink seltzer. Could someone tell me if there is a charge, she is trying to decide whether to get the soda package, which I would think would include seltzer?

PCHENG Posted May 23, 2017 #196 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Alright yesterday was a very strange day capped by a very drunken night. So let's just start over again. Rocking and rolling on our way to Bermuda, but at least the sun is somewhat out! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Why is the ship listing so badly?

CruiseLifeRick Posted May 23, 2017 Author #197 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Why is the ship listing so badly? The weather and the seas were not the greatest on our way over. The motion wasn't awful, but the ship was definitely making a few feel like they had to turn in their sobriety tokens.

(I also posted this on the other live review) Thanks I believe a can of seltzer water is treated much like any other soda/carbonated beverage and would have a charge associated with it. I can confirm this shortly. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLifeRick Posted May 23, 2017 Author #199 Share Posted May 23, 2017 So we are back on the ship and on our return trip to Cape Liberty after a fun sun soaked day in Bermuda. After our morning of cliff jumping at Admiralty House Park (about a 10 minute taxi ride from the Hamilton Ferry) we returned to the ship and grabbed a taxi over to Horseshoe Bay ($45 for the group). We spent our afternoon enjoying libations from the Beach Bum Bar, located at the entrance of Horseshoe Bay Beach. Cocktails such as Rum Swizzles and Dark N Stormies will run you $10 and a bucket of five can beers go for $30. I didn't take really any pictures throughout the day. Cliff jumping and hanging at the beach with the three little kids didn't really afford many opportunities to break out the cameras. However, Mr. P has plenty of footage of both that will make a way into a video at some point. White Shorts sent me this photo as proof that there is at least one female that can stand to be around me. Just to give Mr. P some love too...here is a shot from yesterday of us sporting our "white night" finest. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLifeRick Posted May 23, 2017 Author #200 Share Posted May 23, 2017 So we used to just hang boxers or a sock on the door. Although, I guess I know a few people that would say their bedroom life is a biohazard. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
