LIVEish, 9 Days on Anthem (8/31/2017 or 31/8/2017 better yet August 31, 2017)

Did you find out where the free pasteries are???? If so, what did they have?

They charged for them even though they said they were free. They were different items throughout the cruise. One time we even found the same cake in the WJ! [emoji23]

Still not 100% sure on this one. On the final day wound up getting four. One wasn't charged, one was removed after saying something, and two were charged.

 

This is the case at breakfast

Probably smart to ask first if there is a charge rather than find it on our bill the last night!!!! Or, stick to getting goodies either from MDR or WJ.:D

 

Thanks.

Awesome thread. Star class is so confusing but you helped answer a lot of questions. Has any done room 10324 on anthem?

I was in 10724 right next to 10324.

 

Any questions about the room?

A website claimed that it was a more spacious room-closer to 800 sq feet vs 700. It was on cruiseline: Size: Dimensions vary: Deck 8: 795 sq. ft.; Balcony: 216 sq. ft. Deck 10: Staterooms 10320 and 10720: 696 sq. ft. Main Balcony: 236 sq. ft. Main Side Balcony 72 sq. ft. Upper Side Balcony 53 sq. ft.; Staterooms 10324 and 10724: 840 sq. ft. Balcony: 216 sq. ft.

 

Is that true? If so, was there any downside? (worse view, crappier furniture, etc?)

 

Did you get three balconies or just one large one?

 

Also, is there only one full bath on the 2nd and a half on the 1st? If true, I would be slightly disappointed because I rather keep my kids on the first floor, but such is life.

Hi, and thank you for the live report from Anthem oTS, including all the uploaded menus! :cool:

Since we are booked on that cruise for OCt. 2018, this helps quite well.

 

One question regarding the lunch menu: Do they always offer the same meu when lunch in MDR is served? Or does it also vary?

I know it's just opened druing sea days, but I'd like to see a changing menu from sea day to sea day, though...

Stopped at Beal's Lobster Pier for lunch. For the record that was a 2.5 pound lobster with a pound of mussels.

Do you mind if I ask, how much did you pay for the lobster?

 

and please font say market price :cool:

 

Great review, we will be taking our first RCCL cruise in March.

[AshleyDillo]

10324 only has the one large balcony. The downstairs bathroom is a full bath with a shower, toilet and sink.

Photos galore of 10724: https://www.mjcwebdesign.com/photos/index.php?/category/83

 

As previously mentioned, one large balcony. Saw the corner rooms, downstairs area seemed stuffed. Also the upstairs area had only one closet. However, the corner lofts have a table outside for four while the middle one is for two.

 

I'll have to dig for any balcony shots of 10724, can't find the ones I might have taken.

I don't even eat lobster but this felt like the real deal..perfect setting on a dock by the water. Rustic looking place and you order at a counter and they pull your lobster right in front of you and weigh it. It was everything I would have expected a Maine lobster experience to be. I enjoyed my "muscles" and beer.

Anthem only seems to have two sea day menus. Very tedious, especially on a longer voyage. The buffet next to the salad station changes from day to day.

Okay, so not really comparable to the other lunch menus and offerings on the other RCI ships, like Serenade otS, for example?

 

But as far as I know, RCI features a little self-service-area during lunch in MDR. Seems they also feature it on Anthem, as far as you write...

[AshleyDillo]

They do have a little mini buffet with the Tutti salad bar. The buffet options do change out. It's a nice change option to have for lunch.
