Merion_Mom Posted January 22, 2018 #154 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is this "Yeshiva Week"? Radio, thanks for taking the time to do this live thread. We'll be on Anthem for our second time next month. She's a stunningly beautiful ship. Apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiphound Posted January 22, 2018 #155 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Beautiful ship but as time goes by we are seeing issues with RC where they seem to be cheapening service. Specialty restaurants are excellent ( had a fabulous waiter at Jamie’s Italian tonight) but experience in the MDR on Sunday was less good. Ordered snapper, which was horrible. Never had such a terrible dish on a ship. Waiters seemed fine there but really rushed. Are they having to cover more tables than before. Went to the Gift Sunday, and they had it in main theatre again last night, so no shows for us. Tonight, a movie in Royal Theatre. So, no show again. Used to be I could go to a live show every night. But, apparently, no more. Had same issue of reduced number of shows this summer on Brilliance of the Seas. Maybe, I should try other cruise lines.

shiphound Posted January 22, 2018 #156 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It probably does not matter to most people, but RC seems to be reducing its wine lists. They were out of the first two wines I ordered on Wonderland and first wine I ordered at Jamies. To me, I am a wine lover and this seems to be just more dumbing down my experience at RC.

Rare Radio Posted January 22, 2018 Author #161 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hello everyone . . . Welcome to DAY 4 of “LIVE” from Anthemof the Seas. We arrived bright and early this morning (7AM) to Port Canaveral.We were secured to the dock and passengers were free to go ashore by around7:30 AM. It is a beautiful sunny day and the temperature should go upto about 74F. our group had breakfast this morning and then it was decided thateveryone wanted to do something different. That’s the nice thing about cruising. . .you can do whatever you want, or nothing at all. I may take a shuttle down to Cocoa Beach . . . I may have lunch at Grill’s (right behind Anthem of the Seas) It appears that most passengers are going on an excursion. We’ll just have to see. Here are a few pics from our arrival this morning. . . More pics later. Radio Anthem of the Seas was being broadcast on PTZtv as we getclose to CT-1 Anthem navigates the turning basin. Anthem of the Seas approaches the pier slowly Grill’s Seafood is just behind us The Exploration Tower in the Cove Passengers walking from the ship. . . .

Castlelassie Posted January 22, 2018 #162 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I just contacted Royal Caribbean to see for sure where we will dock in San Juan January 31. He said it will be the Old San Juan port but he did not inspire much confidence in his answer. Radio, is it possible for you to confirm that with someone in the know onboard the ship? Thanks so much.

Rare Turtles06 Posted January 22, 2018 #163 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thanks Radio. My husband and I are going May 3, 2018 and Feb. 3, 2019. He never heard of Yeshiva week. Aileen It’s a week-plus around this time of year when Yeshivas in the NY/NJ area are on break. Many families with lots of kids each cruising out of NY Harbor. A horror show a few years ago on the NCL Gem as reported here on CC by guests on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtulipe Posted January 22, 2018 #165 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Radio, Thanks for your review. We will be on in April. Did you notice if there was any priority line for Star Class passengers for activities like the bumper cars or North Star? There wasn't any Star Class priority lines I noticed for activities on the four Anthem we've done. Certainly not for Flow Rider, bumper cars and North Star. There were areas reserve in shows for that class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Birdnutty Posted January 22, 2018 #166 Share Posted January 22, 2018 . Went to the Gift Sunday, and they had it in main theatre again last night, so no shows for us. Tonight, a movie in Royal Theatre. So, no show again. Used to be I could go to a live show every night. But, apparently, no more. Had same issue of reduced number of shows this summer on Brilliance of the Seas. Maybe, I should try other cruise lines. Pardon me for being dense, but why was it a "no show" for you if the Gift and a movie were in the theater? Is it the theater itself? The shows being offered? I'm confused. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Birdnutty Posted January 22, 2018 #168 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Thanks, Radio. Enjoying every minute! And I love all the great pics. You and your camera do a great job. Can't wait till we get on this Sunday. The dance class in the Music Hall... was that Zumba, aka "Latin Fitness"? Last year they had it every sea day in Two70, and it got pretty crowded. I'm sure hoping they at least have it SOMEWHERE. Need my Zumba.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clochette Posted January 22, 2018 #169 Share Posted January 22, 2018 We just got of the Anthem on the 19 when you boarded, and I am really having withdrawals, you are easing the pain a little bit, thanks for the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkruzer Posted January 22, 2018 #171 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I had a very nice meal at Chopstonight. It was part of the By One, Get One deal for D+ members. Chops has the best steaks (Bu the truffled fries had no truffle) . . . Their desserts were very tasty. Did you have to eat at Chops first or 2nd night to use your D+ benefit? I don't recall needing to do that but others have told me I have to and was trying to figure out how to reserve on the planner and not pay for two. Did you reserve once you were onboard? We sail Sunday and would like to try Wonderland. Thanks for your great review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpostman Posted January 22, 2018 #172 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just checking you out on the PC port Cam. Seems sunny but windy. I assume they are not running the North Star because of windy conditions. I'm keeping an eye on the iFly tube to see if anyone pops up in there but have seen no one yet. See some folks hanging around on their Aft Balconies Last march, we spent much the time we were docked in PC in Two70 watching pods of dolphins in the harbor popping up to surface every now and then. Had a great view of "Grills" This is bringing back memories. Thanks for the great pics & review Radio Will stay tuned dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
