Best cabin attendant ever...both legs!  🙂 

 

I thought you were making some sort of Bucky joke until I remembered that your B2B. 😁

Go for the JS4....loved the "hump" location and the split bath plan!  🙂  We should have given you a tour...sorry about that.  😞 

 

Yea, we should have seen both cabins. Plus @ticketsunlimited had a GS across the elevator bank from us

I was leary as well, but totally sold on it. 

 

I'll compare her to Harmony next week, but I'm pretty sure Odyssey may win. If we could only get her into PC

 

Looking forward to Wonder taking Harmony's place.  Though I will miss the crew in CK on Harmony.  😞

Not sure I follow you.  Jersey Boys is not a show on Odyssey.  

 

He was responding to a comment I made about entertainment on Anthem (because he did not particularly like entertainment on Odyssey).

Lots of other options down here as well, I'm just happy with the process at our Walgreens 

We have sites like those around here.  But Walgreens is a 5-10 minute drive.  Last time we tested (unfortunately it was for Serenade B2B this past January—-Cancelled about two hours after we arrived in Tampa for overnight) we walked back into the house and got results a few minutes later.

Music Hall Pinnie lounge is definitely full...even early at 5 pm.  Got too loud and left for one of our favorite spots, Giovanni's wine bar.  🙂   And CK is getting packed up as well.  They released a few "social distance" tables to make room.  

 

I found it to be pretty dead on 2nd formal night, but we left at 5:30.

 

We went there after dinner one night and it got loud at 6:30. The orchestra was seting up for a 7pm performance and were warming up

I don't know if I would like the GS on this ship.  With that two access door plan...you lose a lot of space in the bathroom.  And there is only one.  😉

Technically Jersey Boys isn't on Anthem either.😉

The dining table distancing has always be a SNAFU.   Like the CDC said block every other table even if they are 6’ or more apart.  SMH.

It's a different world on this 6 night.  81 Pinnies, 333 D+.   DL is totally crazy (I only use it for coffee) and every seat in the Pinnie lounge is taken by just after 5 pm.  The high volume level was from the raised "adult beverage induced" talking.  😉 

[island lady]

Going to Maya Key in 20 minutes.  The second pier is finished, but the extended shopping area looks like it was a Covid fatality.  Totally shut down on the reno now.

I 'hear' you on that. Those Pinnacle Pods can get unbelievably noisy. 

 

Probably the reason we got the boot from the SL. Suite guests rarely congregate in huge numbers

Ours must not get as busy as down there.  Right now you can still get an appt for this afternoon if you wanted.  Lots for tomorrow thru Friday-  Have not tried them yet

You are correct, however "Frankie and the Dreamers" really is excellent. We saw it on two recent Anthem cruises and Ryan Molloy in addition does the final cruise show.  He is both talented and funny. We were actually surprised he was on a cruise ship. Perhaps a covid-driven decision. 

 

There were several other shows we really enjoyed on Anthem which were more "ad hoc" where the singers from We Will Rock You (which we don't watch anymore) do solos and duets of a variety of songs .... more of a showcase. We enjoyed those shows more than the play.

I wish the pre cruise testing requirement would go away along with the mask requirement. Off my soapbox now.

We saw the Effectors again last night. It was even better the second time.

Ryan Molloy was fantastic.  We have seen We Will Rock You on every sailing but one.  Never gets old for me!

If you gave them one card they would deduct 2 drinks, if you gave them both cards then each card would have one drink deducted

Did you have to specify that you want to use your benefit or do they just do it automatically once they read your card?

I always make sure to tell them whether I want to use one of my free vouchers or not

My Keurig has an espresso setting, and I have Bustelo. Even have some vanilla vodka, Frangelico, Godiva Liqueur, Creme de Cacao, and Creme de Banana.😉

 

I love science😁

Try Frangelico in your maple syrup when you have pancakes or French toast.

I wish the testing would go away, I don’t have a car and I can’t see a Lyft driver being happy about me taking a Covid test. 

there are no indoor testing in my small town other than clinics who charge over 200.

We suite/non-pin people aren't loud.  That's because we talk in very hushed voices so that the Pins can't overhear all of the bad things that we are saying about them. 😉😁

I like your soapbox...got room up there?  I feel the same. 😉

By the 2nd of December...they were out.  😞 

We each received ours on the January 23rd sailing

We want to go back to Tap Factory.  Loved that one as well.  🙂 

 

Saw the virtual symphony concert last night.  Tech effects were so good, you could swear (almost anyway) it was live in front of you.  A lot cheaper than going to the real concert.  😄  Was hardly anyone in there.  But then again Effectors was going on at the same time.
