joaniet Posted January 26, 2018 #251 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Hi Radio, I just want to join the countless others & thank you for sharing you vacations(s) with us. I'll be on the next anthem cruise this Sunday, so it's been exciting to get a preview of things to come. Truly hope the seas calm down quickly. Enjoy you coming sea days-always a fav of ours. joaniet Edited January 26, 2018 by joaniet spelling ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sardam Posted January 26, 2018 #252 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I love following your review. Thanks If you get a chance can you ask Dennis when he will be getting off the ship? I will be boarding shortly and sailed with him as CD in November and enjoyed him. I haven't been able to find the specific date for the new CD.

Rare Radio Posted January 26, 2018 Author #254 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hello everyone and good morning . . . Welcome to DAY 7 of“LIVE” from Anthem of the Seas. We are current heading north toward Cape Liberty. The weather today is still very windy. It is currently cloudy but the skies should clear later today. We are rolling with wave heights 4-6 ft. There has been significant motion since we left Nassau, but the ship is handling it very well. I have been on Cruise Ships that headed up the East Coast manytimes, and the movement is nominal. This movement is more than we had going south but is expected. The Shops will be open all day and I want to distance myself from DECK 4 anywhere near the mayhem that will occur during these sales. Casino Royale continues to be very “Radio Friendly” but I don’t think I will make it to the 2400 point Free Cruise plateau. I still want to try the Bumper Cars and make it to the SeaPlex Dog House. My Coffee Card has shown to be of value during this sailing ($31+Tip) It has been delightful to consume freshly brewed coffee at La Patisserie, Windjammer, and TWO70 Lounge. Hmm . . . may try to make it to the Body Sculpt Boot Camp this afternoon . . . Here are a few pics from this morning. Thanks for tuning in. Radio The sun is trying to come out today I had lunch yesterday here . . . The burger was good, (fries not so much) Outdoor Dining area AFT of Windjammer Marketplace on DECK 14 I still need to go to Izumi The seas today are a little rough Here is our current location .

Nygryll38 Posted January 26, 2018 #256 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Radio, Can you do me a favor? If you have a chance go by room 8646 and see if the bed is located near the balcony doors. I have tried to figure it out with info on CC but haven’t been able to. Not a bigger if you don’t get to it (you are on vacation) 😀 If anyone else knows feel free to let me know.

joaniet Posted January 27, 2018 #262 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Got it thanks ! We have 8644. Every other configuration. So that means the bed's by the bath in your cabin. on the port side, the every other reverses, meaning directly across from your cabin will have bed by balcony. This plan also works with celebrity Solstice class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted January 27, 2018 Author #264 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone and good day. Today was full of relaxation.It was a day to relax in the Solarium. It is one of the quietest public areas of the ship. I was able to calm down and let any stress dissolve. I was able to consume a lovely Americano (very freshly brewed of course) and work on editing a few videos. There was a chance that I may have caught up on the events in the day’s news. The indoor family pool was also busy, but it was very noisy.It appears that the favorite pool for families and kids was the Indoor pool.The Main pool outside on Deck 14 wasn’t used much today. It was windy for much of the day and the sun came out a few times for a few minutes. I think there may be over a dozen lifeguards onboard, and they seem to only guard in two hour rotations for each pool. We are currently off of the coast of NC/SC State line. . .The winds have slowed down considerably, and the Captain suggested that weshould be at Cape Hatteras by morning. I had a very nice dinner with some Cruise Critic friends this evening at American Icon. Tonight was formal night and there was Lobster on the menu. It was very tasty and the waiter decided tobring all of those who ordered lobster an extra one. For some reason it as verynoisy in the dining room tonight. I can guess that it may have been that it was Formal Night that attracted many morefamilies and kids. Here are a few pics form today. . .Thanks for tuning in. Radio The temperature warmed up some but there was never a lot ofdirect sunlight The warmest spot on the ship was in the Solarium The Solarium Pools are the best. . . The seas calmed down quite a bit from last night Here is a view of the promenade lifeboat deck Music Hall is right next to Casino Royale .

joaniet Posted January 27, 2018 #265 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hi Radio, Thanks again for sharing your vacation with us. such fun! I wanted to ask about your coffee experience, as I do love my french press at home, and find it hard to match at sea. How has the coffee been in the concierge lounge? Is it the same as what I've had in the diamond lounge? Is their a difference with what you get for purchase on the coffee card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted January 27, 2018 Author #266 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Here are a few more pics. . . Radio Our dinner was very good in American Icon The Lobster Tail was very good . . .

The Coffee Card will let you have a Frappacino (several flavors available), Espresso, or Americano. I will post the menu tomorrow.I think there may be a few others. You can also use the Coffee Card in Windjammer Coffee Bar or TWO 70 Lounge. Radio ;);) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I are looking forward to dressing up “formal night” in Tux / Long Dress, however will be look overdressed on this cruise? Second question, we would prefer the later dining option of 8:30pm however most of the shows run at the same time! How do we get around this?
