Back on board - just showered, which was apparently everyone elseās idea as the water pressure sucked! š¤£š¤£ It was a fabulous day! I did get stung by a baby jellyfishā¦right on my bikini line, so NOT going to first aid for that one! Itās not a bad stingā¦just a bit ouchie! I went over to Skipper Grill for taco bar, which was yummy! There were chickens in the bushes behind my bed. I named these two Clucky and Plucky.

Current situation!! Beach bed 71 at South Beach!! Even though it (and 72) are at the end, that means NOTHING but sea and sand in front of me!! The only thing is the bass from Hideaway carries since the areas essentially back up to each other. (So I can only imagine how loud it is there!) But other than that, perfect!

The trip to Disney was good. It was great to see my best friend and her fiancƩ! Lunch was at Disney Springs at Summer House on the Lake and was yummy! I took Disney transportation back to the Polynesian (I walked over there from our drop off at the Transportation and Ticket Canter (TTC) to get to Disney Springs - might take a little longer but saves on Uber costs!!) and got a Dole Whip with coconut rum, then took the monorail to the TTC and hopped onto the Epcot line to just ride around Future World. There was no one waiting so I stayed on to get back to the TTC. There were 2 busses - I was on the first one that left at 4:15 (our meeting time was 4:30) and we tapped back onto the ship at 5:30 - scheduled all-aboard. We are obviously waiting on at least the second Disney bus. (Chicken tacos)

Ship - Anthem of the Seas Deck - 6 Stateroom # - 6248 Stateroom Category ā Solo Studio Balcony Starboard or Port Side - Port Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) ā Relatively quiet. Of course all depends on the people around you. There are some kids who are allowed/encouraged to run down the hall, but that could happen on any cruise. Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - Nope Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. ā Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Itās a nice oversized balcony on the back side of a āhumpā. Lifeboats are just aft of it - a friend joked I could just jump into the boat from my balcony. Being on the back side of the hump I have to lean over to see forward. Was wind a problem? - Nope! Back side of a hump. If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - n/a Any specific problems with this cabin? - Nope. It is small, but for one person who doesnāt over-pack it is great. It is close to the elevators/stairs, but no noise from those aside from the aforementioned running kids and some people talking loudly which can happen anywhere.

Chops Grille for lunch. It was good. I was bummed that the famous tots canāt be gluten-free (and the āfriesā seemed to be baked) but the filet was wonderful and I always love a wedge salad. (Also ice cream is the only gf dessert option, though the chef made a āchocolate custardā also which tasted like regular chocolate pudding.) I enjoyed it, but I am glad I went at lunch. Popped by the Bionic Bar after - just the novelty of it. Got a āSunshineā for a cloudy day.

Thanks! Yeah, had it been a direct hit to my nose, I strongly suspect I would have had a broken one to deal with. -

Yup. On Anthem I was going up to Deck 15 for sailing under the Verrazano Bridge, and as I was walking up the ramp to the North Star Bar, I was hit in the nose/cheek by a snow/ice ball (it was moist enough it was not just snow) that someone threw. I got up enough to see the people and said to one guy making and holding a ball āYou need to be aware of where you are throwing those. I just got hit.ā And he acted less than sorry - said it, but tone and facial expression said otherwise. I am still not sure if they were just randomly throwing them, if the intended target ducked, or if they thought I was someone else - but they all certainly played dumb like they had no clue where it came from. ( spoke with an officer at the Top Tier event just to make them aware that in the future, ensuring that as much snow as possible is cleared would be a good idea. She was very apologetic and seemed shocked that people would have been throwing snowballs - she asked if I needed medical attention, which I didnātā¦my cheek is a little sore but nothing bruisedā¦and said she would certainly speak to the heads of hotel and housekeeping so that they could follow up with crew about clearing snow if they run into that again.) So yeah, there are a lot of rude people out there. -
Got an elephant for my towel animal last night I opted for evening service, which given the sea days works well for me - I can read and chill on my balcony during the day and not feel like I have to be out. I can plan evening stuff around 5-8 much easier as dinner is in there. Some random pics from aroundā¦ This morning is overcast but nice. I had a nibble for breakfast, then got a shower and THEN decided to walk around the walk/run track. Did about 2 miles. Probably should have reversed walking and showering, but oh well. Watched some people on the Flow Rider and in the iFly. Grabbed a mimosa at the Effy mimosa party. The temps are nice enough now I can read in shorts and a t-shirt on my balcony, so I am doing that until lunch at Chops.

I did speak with the Guest Services Manager after the Top Tier event about the snowball yesterday - mainly suggested that in the event of snow again they ensure that tables are cleaned off because of that. She was extremely apologetic - asked if I needed medical attention and said she would definitely speak with Housekeeping about ensuring that snow is cleared. My cheek does not appear to have bruised - it is a little sore to the touch, but that is all.
