Variety and taste of food is very subjective. I sailed on Easter Anthem cruise and the food quality and related service was good. Only had a few hiccups in that I enjoy pork chops and chose a Jerky Caribbean rub pork chop and found it dry and chewy. However, I was able to get another entree as substitute. Had a meal at Jamie's and could not believe the amount of food. It was one of the best meals I've tasted. The pasta bolognese followed by 3 tasty lamb chops really hit the spot. I was concerned that sometime the bolognese sauce can be a bit greasy with all of the different meats in the dish.

Must be new as I was able to get beer on this event on Mariner in early December. Wonder if it's different from waiter to waiter.

And yet at the Top Tier events where refreshments are available, I'm able to get a beer without any problems and no use of coupons.

I selected the Pensfold chardonnay and got La Crema chardonnay.

Expectation, especially as compared to the previous one some years ago when we were lowly D and enjoyed the company of fellow Paxs and Officers.

I wonder if this is the beginning of her repositioning to the UK for the summer and making way for Oasis,

What clowns.

The LA on Anthem did it on line as all of the information and confirming/eligibility data is in the system.

Not sure if because of Easter week and some 1,200 children on board, but not many Pinns or D+ on this sail.

I'm not generalizing, but expressing my experience.

I got both invites.

The funny thing is that the wine is free flowing, however, I'm not much of a wine drinker and ordered a beer. I had to use one of my D+ drink coupon.😁

Menu for the event

Sailed on Anthem April 17 and got an invite to have lunch with an Officer. Was excited as I in my many sails. only once have I had this opportunity. Remember the first time it was quite intimate with about 10 fellow Paxs having lunch in one of the Specialty Restaurants. We all sat on one large table and had the opportunity to talk and ask many questions. This time the event was at Silk. Upon reaching the restaurant, me and another couple were escorted in. The couple decided to sit by themselves and I chose a large table. I expected a good attendance, unfortunately there were only 3 additional paxs that showed up. Now you have a large venue and only 5 Paxs in totality. However, a few minutes later, an officer stops by with an assistant and basically says my name is such and such and please enjoy your lunch and both go away. It was so quick that I did not even get their names, I couldn't believe it. At least the menu wasn't bad for a lunch. I chose red snapper, but it tasted more like cod.

Go get my roast beef sandwich😜

Even though you mak changes via C&A, the perks are not in your room automatically. I reached the 340 level on my Anthem April 17 sail found only 1 bottle in my cabin and it was the usual D bottle of Danzante pinot grigio. After 4 days and harassing my cabin steward😄 and got nowhere spoke to the LA. The next day got a bottle of La Crema Monterey chardonnay plus a nice fruit basket. Also, asked if they had any crystal blocks for the Anthem on board and was told no and they would mail and take some 3-5 weeks.
