  2. We will be on the Anthem next month. We have only been on three other cruises, all on Celebrity. On those cruises, my wife, (who is gluten free), was always able to get the onion soup without the bread in it, in the MDR. Does anyone think the Anthem will accommodate?

    On the flip side, 20-30 years ago, dinner on a cruise was a 5 to 7 course experience with fine cuts of meat and seafood and elegant service throughout. Some dishes were prepared tableside.

     

    Granted, meals and service like that can not be done on today's mega ships and most passengers do not want that type of formal dinner anyway. Also, fares then were considerably higher than they are now, so cost cutting is necessary to maintain profitability.

     

    However, I do believe that food quality has decreased on the mainstream lines over the past 10 years. The decrease was very much on display on my recent Grandeur cruise. Some popular dishes were no longer offered. Cakes and pies had little flavor and many MDR entrees had low quality meats. I could not even eat the lobster tail served to me.

     

    I think that the statement often heard on these boards, "I can always find something to eat." indicates how much things have changed. Passengers used to have difficulty choosing from the menu. Now they are settling.

     

    I remember having pretty good filet steaks on airplanes back in the day.

    Another vote for Bernard’s Tours if you want a good view of the island and get to the airport in time to see the big planes come in.

     

    And no worries with Bernard getting you back to the port!!  He and his whole crew are great!!  We have used him about 4 times now.

     

    We have only taken tours purchased from the ship. Taking a cab to Maho Beach is simple. We took a tour and when we got to Maho Beach, we didn't want to hang around and wait for the tour to return to the ship. There were a dozen cabs sitting there. We just took one back to the ship. If Bernard's Tours has some magic way to get through the traffic, just have your cab driver follow them.

    Yes, no extra charge for the glass of ice.

    You will get a 12oz can of Coke, no refills.  You cannot get a glass of fountain soda without an unlimited beverage package.

     

    I asked this question on Face Book. People seem to think there are no "cans" of soda. Just a glass of coke in the MDR.
