Rare Radio Posted June 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hello everyone. . . . Welcome to the start of “LIVE”from Anthem of the Seas. I will be heading up for a Pre Cruise Stay on Sunday,as my hotel will be just a short drive from Cape Liberty Cruise Port (Bayonne,NJ) Anthem of the Seas leaves on Monday for a 5 Night Canada / NE Cruise that will take me to Bar Harbor, Maine and Halifax, Nova Scotia. It has been a few months since my last sailing (Oasis of the Seas – Jan 2017) and I am very happy to be sailing Anthem of the Seas for the first time. I toured Anthem last summer, but there is noway to get the “feel” of the ship in just a few hours. I sailed Quantum of the Seas twice in 2015 so I am aware of where things are and how to get there, but it make take a little while to get my “Sea Legs”. I would really like to sail for a 7 or 9 night Cruise to Canada, but my vacation plans worked out for this sailing in June. I will be posting “LIVE” daily with photos and comments about the public areas, cabins,as well as my two ports this sailing (Bar Harbor, ME and Halifax, NS) There will be many CruiseCritic Members on my sailing as well. . . Anthem of the Seas appears to be Sold Out and I am sure that there will be over 4500 pax on board. It has been a long winter in Maryland with a lot of cold weather and I am hoping for a relaxing cruise.(With a valid wireless connection, Keep your fingers crossed). Have a cup of Coffee, relax and welcome aboard! I like that my Hotel will have some “We Proudly Serve” Starbucks in the lobby. I will post again tomorrow from my Pre Cruise Hotel. Thanks for tuning in . . .

NHProud Posted June 24, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2017 We took a tour with Paul McNeal in Halifax . He was very good . His tour lasted 6 hours and was very reasonable. He stopped at the cemetery where the Titanic victims are buried. We were in Halifax last week . Our ship, Queen Mary 2 , was greeted by bagpipers upon arrival and also when we departed . Have fun and looking forward to reading about your adventure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiring soon Posted June 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2017 HI all! Radio ~ looking forward to following along. I have no plans on sailing Anthem but have booked Symphony so maybe they'll be similar? Wishing you safe travels & fun times! ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted June 25, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I'll be following and comparing to my 9 nights Aug. '16 Anthem NE/Canada itinerary. Hope, like my cruise, the Captain will make a left and go up the Hudson before heading to the open seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stowite Posted June 25, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Looking forward to this. At one point we had this cruise booked along with the current Bermuda sailing. Since our cruise partners ended up not being able to go we opted out but curious to follow along on our almost cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
