Happy for you Ricardo! 😉

@Jimbo I had forgotten about this detailed rundown: https://anthemoftheseas.blogspot.com/ @HBE4 this is your Cliff Notes for the Anthem Quiz 🤣😉

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I enjoyed seeing everyone's pictures and reading about what they did. Christmas is very very simple for us. We try to keep perspective and not turn it into an opulent Hallmark Holiday.🤣 Brillo, I am very happy you got to meet your son.

Has Toby been secretely putting Karaken in your coffee?😁

😁Ask Santa! Or when I get onboard, I will have one for you too.😁 Every slice I will have to dedicate to either Lenny or OB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣No I do not have a drink package 🤣

Of course, hurry! Before Jimbo changes his mind.

Now don't tell me you want to be picked up too....no no I have to drive north to pick you up, but Debbie is on the way to VA. You will just have to make do with a pizza.😁

Toot toot. Outside! Let's go!

On my way!!!!!!!

🤣We have seen that happen ..... This one particular senior couple from NY who we keep running into on most cruises out of Bayonne and NYC.....They take dozens of bagels, lox, sandwiches, walnuts, fruit, yogurt, you name it into large ziplock bags. 😅

My dinner has way less than 7. Just Acapulco Shrimp Cocktail from Pati Jinich's recipe and Eggplant Parm.

For me Deck 8 is kind of the "deck 6 of the Anthem" easy spot to go up or down. High enough and low enough to climb up from deck 2 or 3 skipping elevator rush from port days. Aft balconies...most on decks 6,7, 8, 9, 10 are connecting cabins. They are connected from outside not inside. That is what I saw on the cabin crawl, I have not personally stayed in that and would not like to. Aft 11 has a few that are not connecting. Aft 12 is right under the Windjammer open seating area. If we are going with a balcony, my first choice is always a deck 8 slant balcony, which is huge. Of course, this is personal preference, others may have different preferences. HBE are you taking notes? 😁or was it the Anthem that you were thinking of. Quizz will be given.🤣

Merry to you as well from central! 7 here.😁

You too OB! I LOVE Snoopy.

😁Probably! They say we all have doubles somewhere in the world!🤣 We have sailed Celebrity and NCL too. Not been on Cunard. Have a lovely holiday.

Aaah the Equinox......my other residence!🤣 My absolute personal favorites: Deck 8 slant balconies. AQ class cabins are not in a great locations. Do not like the aft cabins on this ship.

My favorite too. I moved to an aft balcony on the Jewel, deck 8 when it became available two days ago. Was on deck 9, now on deck 8 aft. On the Anthem, staying put with deck 6 hump balcony.

Mimi, I am very sorry to hear about your brother.

Lovely pictures! Have we met? on the Anthem? Explorer?

@Jimbo When are you cruising on the Anthem?

I hope you feel better soon and find a solution. But on the lighter side, the door knob will be cheaper than the latest guy who will be putting your dollars towards a down payment for a new yacht. 😁

Not all of deck 6 cabins are obstructed. Front is clear ahead of 6160. Midship bump outs near the rear elevators all clear. Have stayed there and front deck 6. Most convenient IMHO on the Anthem. 6 starboard is a no no due to a smoking nook on deck 5. It hasn't bothered us becaue it is covered from the top like a bus stop, but it has bothered others since smoke does float up eventually. 11 is a good deck. Sandwiched with cabins. 12 even better if you (are allowed to) use the concierge lounge. 13 not so much since its under solarium and pool area. We have stayed on 13. Although close to the Solarium in the front and all, would not pick unless assigned as a GTY or had no other choice. I just prefer 6 front or 6 bump out near rear elevators. Won't mind 7 or 8 up there either, but feel 6 is so convenient to get to everything 5,4 and 3.

She is a doll! 🥰

Your menu looks fantastic!

We had issues with them. Contact issues are nothing compared to how we were conned. With the help of Celebrity, we got them removed and cruise line (Celebrity) took over, refunded the over charges, FCCs reinstated, all was made good by X.
