CruiseLifeRick Posted May 25, 2017 Author #206 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Today was the worst weather of the trip and most everything was cancelled. So just lots of drinking and watching waves crash against windows. At this point just counting down the hours until I'm in Miami and on my way to the Caribbean. Sorry all, but the weather just didn't make for the type of trip I had hoped for. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzieanna Posted May 25, 2017 #208 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I was wondering where the little Captain Tax fella was? Have you left him at home deputizing? he is "your" mate isn't he? Escape and Getaway are brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I liked the rock shower thing in H20 on Escape - and just about everything on the Getaway! its a shame about the weather - but what can you do! Always fun to follow your trips Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topo Gigio Posted May 25, 2017 #210 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The other day I wrote that I liked the Quantum Class better than the Oasis Class.I just loved my cruise on the Anthem! simply an amazing ship. Really don't understand all the negativity about the Quantum Class. According to the captain on the Anthem -sooner or later-one will be based in Florida.

Jenjer Posted May 25, 2017 #212 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sorry mother nature did not cooperate on your trip. Go to Food republic, its right accrossed from district brew house........OMG so freaking good. go early on because people don't discover it at first and it is easy to get in. Open for lunch on sea days and dinner. Its not covered by any dinning plan (or wasn't last year) but worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted May 25, 2017 #213 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Don't worry. The weather is supposed to be beautiful in the District Brewhouse. That's on my list of stops on Escape 😁 Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasep17 Posted May 25, 2017 #214 Share Posted May 25, 2017 ok I'm curious, what was the emergency that caused a pj,pizza party?? There was a section of our Cabin wall that wrapped around what is most likely a support beam. Nothing crazy, but does stick out a little. Our 2 year old's forehead unfortunately met a corner of it when entering the room on night 2. For his efforts he received a pretty good gash that immediately started bleeding. We rushed him to medical where we were met by a 'closed' sign and instructions to call a number where we were to select option 2. Once the door finally opened we were handed 2 clipboards with front and back pages to fill out before being treated by the Doctor. Fortunately the bleeding stopped at this point and once the Doc showed up, things went much smoother. He applied some glue instead of stitches and handed us off to a security officer that went over the incident and photographed the wall in question. Once we notified Rick of the situation he rushed to our cabin where he promptly began icing my son's head for the next few hours as if he were his own. Rick treated both of our kids as if they were his own for the entire cruise and was always there to offer a hand or push a stroller. We consider Rick a best friend, he acts and treats us like family. I mean this the sincerest of ways, Rick is a good dude. White Shorts and I are thankful for having met him in a March. Can't wait for our next 'Adventure'!

Sent from my iPhone using Forums This is when we need the like button. I look forward to the day that "we" meet Rick, and chances are you and white shorts will be on the same cruise. See you all then. Edit: my guess was Captain Tax got into trouble at the Super Hero Kids Club, and was sent home packing for the night. Joking aside I'm very happy to read that your son's incident was not as bad as it could have been. A regretfully perfect reason for a PJ party. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfganghowell Posted May 25, 2017 #216 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sorry to hear of the little one's boo boo. Glad it wasn't any worse. It's greatness when you meet such special friends onboard. We had tablemates about 6 years ago and have now cruised together about 6 times and taken 2 land vacations. We consider ourselves family and vice versa. Congratulations on having the same connection!

CruiseLifeRick Posted May 25, 2017 Author #217 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Well now that Bruiser's incident is out the bag, hopefully everyone appreciates that this cruise took on a completely different dynamic from that point on. As much as I love shutting down a club or draining a gin bottle dry, the last five days provided for so many special memories that had nothing to do with adult beverages or white haired vixens prancing around a dance floor. I will spare everyone from all the feels, but just know that I walked off the Anthem this morning being ride or die for four people that will never be labeled in my book as anything other than family. As far as the Anthem goes, unless you want to chat about Adventure Ocean, the kiddie pool, the DreamWorks Character Breakfast - are you getting the gist - I really cannot offer too much from the last five days. The list of activities not attended is much longer than the list of things we were actually able to partake in. I cannot even really tell you how Dru was as a Cruise Director, although I had him on the Anthem last year and really enjoyed him. So again my apologies for not providing a comprehensive review of my daily activities, but that really was because most of my ship time was spent just enjoying the company of two awesome little kids and appreciating even more what truly exceptional people Mr. P and White Shorts are. On to the Escape and bye for now! #SquadGoals p.s. Captain Tax was kept safely in my cabin for the entirety of this trip. I'm sure many of you can appreciate the concern I had for him being a "toy" in the company of a two and three-year-old.

CruizinCutieJulia Posted May 25, 2017 #219 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I've been reading this and enjoying Ricks antics as the ultra fun party guy on board and I can relate to being the solo friend in the group of my friends and kids. Amazing how the party life that you're used to can be tamed by great friends and their amazing little minions. I did pause for a moment and think, "I bed Rick is now even more excited for some party shenanigans aboard the escape with TheDougOut!" That's how I feel when I leave the weekend getaways with my friends w/ kids. (No offense to the parents out there) Happy sailing, hope we get to share in some fun stories in your next adventure :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpostman Posted May 25, 2017 #220 Share Posted May 25, 2017 hopefully everyone appreciates that this cruise took on a completely different dynamic from that point on.

Looking forward to your next review as well. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#55worktoplay Posted May 26, 2017 #222 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Wow! Those two and three year olds seem to have fantastic parents who make extremely awesome videos but they also have a great friend of their parents. I would love to meet your crew on a cruise someday again - I was on the same sailing of the great Harmony video, no cameo though:(. I'm sorry to hear about the accident but very happy to hear it wasn't more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you offered . . .Is AO as good as advertised? It has gotten almost universally good reviews. We are on Navigator in Dec./Jan. and my 9-10 year old will definitely be spending some time there . . . Thanks and enjoy your next trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
