Rare Radio Posted January 29, 2018 Author #326 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Radio,As always, it is my honor to share a cruise with you and the rest of the group. To say that this was an interesting cruise is almost and understatement, just not on the good side. Yet another reason I was so happy to be able to share it with you and the rest. Can't wait to do it again. Wow MedicKenK. . .Thanks for the nice comments. Your check is in the mail ! Radio ;);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted January 29, 2018 Author #327 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi Radio,one question, how are the beds? I have been on the LOS recently, and beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable, had to request a special mattress cover to make it bearable. Just wondering if I need to do that on Anthem, since we are sailing on her in October, Thanks I loved my bed. . .It was very comfortable. But I was told by some of my group that the beds were terrible. Some even suggested that they asked for a special foam mattress to go over the regular mattress to make it better. I guess it just depends on what makes you comfortable. I stayed in a regular Balcony Cabin (FWD) Radio ;);) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted January 29, 2018 Author #328 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hello everyone . . . I realized that I never posted any photos of my cabin. This was a standard Balcony Cabin (CAT D8) FWD/STB. It was very nice and I never heard any noise from the hallway or the floor above. It was very close the elevator on DECK 8. It had a standard Balcony with 2 chairs (with foot rest) and a small table. The bathroom was a standard bathroom with shower. There were 2 110V outlets, 2 220V outlets, and 2 USB ports near the vanity table. There was also a 110V outlet next to the bed. There was plenty of storage. Radio I loved my cabin on Anthem of the Seas There was lots of drawer space and plenty of storage The bed was very comfortable and I watched lots of news here. . . Here is the view from the balcony The Balcony was spacious with 2 chairs and a table for my “PressRoom” on sunny days. I had the standard bathroom with shower. .

Hello luv2cruise. . .Yes there should be enough room, but many of the sofas pull out to form a bed. You should check with your TA to see if your cabin offers that configuration . . . Radio ;);) .

The reason I ask, is because we have 4 in the room, my husband and I and 2 teens (boy, girl) didn't realize no Pullman. We will make it work, thankfully were pretty low maintenance ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoof Posted January 30, 2018 #335 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Would like to ask if anyone who did not reserved either the ifly and/or northstar prior to boarding; were you able to enjoy either or both of these activities via guest services when boarded or simply just standing on line @ the activity line? iFly must be reserved. I didn't see if there was an opportunity to be on stand by. Northstar was pretty booked, but we managed to get on standby once. When we tried to make a reservation, none was available.

terrirus Posted January 30, 2018 #341 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Did anyone try to book a future Cruise on the anthem ship? I was told there's a policy change and their deposits are now non-refundable. And also if you make a change it's $100 per person penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotTheBatesMotel Posted January 30, 2018 #342 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Beautiful ship and pictures. Great review! Thanks for taking the time to post your review. Adding Anthem to my "must sail" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 30 days after booking one penalty free, then certain changes are subject to fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you choose the $100 reduced deposit, then that is automatically non-refundable. However, they should have told people that for categories of JS and below, refundable deposits are an option. Refundable deposits would not be reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think the OBC would be less, but don't quote me on that last part about the OBC. Denise Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
