Thanks for the replies, might ask for a discount but ok if not given one. Looking forward to the experience.

I do not drink so I never signed up for Chef Table on any of my cruises. I thought that it was not cost effective if I am not going to have the wine. My travel buddies got me to sign up on my upcoming cruise on Anthem. Assured me that I would enjoy the experience because the food is excellent. So here are my questions:

1- Is the food really that good at Chef Table on Anthem?

2- Is it worth the cost without the wine pairing?

3-Do they offer soda instead of that awful ice tea?

Can someone help me to understand what PERISCOPE is and how to download the app. (where to go). I am not very tech savvy but would like to see what is being posted. I will be on Anthem and also have specialty dinning package.

Thanks

Taking this cruise in 2 weeks and just loved your review, answered many of my questions.

Re: bingo....did you have to purchase a marker? I have a few at home and would bring one as opposed to having to purchase one. Is that allowed.

I will be taking 12 day in February out of New Jersey and was wondering when it will start to warm up (2 sea days) going and when we will get cold weather coming back (3 sea days). I am trying to keep heavy clothing to a minimum but don't want to be cold. Thanks.

On a different cruise line, I was able to request an iron and board. There was a time limit but it was available. Do you know if Anthem has this accommodation. Thanks

Can someone give me some details of what this activity entails. I am not a great puzzle person, but it looks like it would be a lot of fun. Maybe I can brush up on some skills if I know what to expect. Thanks.

We are thinking about going to Mullet Bay.

1- Can someone tell me what the taxi fare would cost for 3 people. I read on this post that someone paid $6 but had a group of 24. Is there a set pp rate?

2- Is there public transportation and if so can you provide some info.

Thanks.

This is such a great review. I will be taking 12 day in February and you have definitely increase my excitement about all of the wonderful ports and various venues I plan on experiencing on the ship. I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. We were still trying to decide what we were going to do in St. Marten and Barbados. Thank you for your feedback.

1- Do you have to pay admission to get onto beach at the Boatyard. Not necessarily looking to rent chairs/umbrella.

2- In St. Marten, where is the RIBS @ Mullet Bay and do you know how to get there using public transportation. Was it easier, cheaper to get there by rental car

3- When/Were do you sign up for puzzle break. Seems like a lot of fun

4- Was there any Latin music/dancing

5- Was 270 the only dance club

Thanks for your responses. FYI, I will be on the 12 day Anthem cruise and we are scheduled to stop in Puerto Rico on February 25, 2016. I called ship and they said that they are due to be at this port at 3:00 which will be the same as PR (port) time. Flavors of San Juan is the excursion which begins at 3:30. They said that it takes about 15 minutes to get to location so I am going to have to try and be one of the first ones off ship when it docks at 3:00. Anyone been there and is it really that short of a distance from cruise terminal. I think that I will be cutting it close. :eek:

I think I might have a problem. I booked Flavors of San Juan (a private tour)for 3:30. Although Puerto Rico is part of the US, they don't participate in daylights savings and not sure this even matters.

Our ship, the Anthem is due to get into San Juan at 3:00 but is this the port time or is this the ship time and how do I determine if it will be the same or perhaps later?

I always take my mini steamer. Usually separate top from base and put each piece in a different location in luggage. The base looks like a mug instead of a steamer. Has been working for me so far. God luck.

Wondering if Anthem of the Seas has

Slot: Fireball, Wizard of OZ

Table: Let it ride poker.

Thanks.

I have a choice between these 2 Ocean view Balcony cabins on Anthem cruise in February 2016. I am prone to motion sickness and cabin 12560is at the elevators at the aft of ship. Cabin 6646 is mid-section of ship but there are some venues like a few restaurants (not too close) and two 270 which is at end of ship. I stayed in 6646 would I hear noise and music or am I enough in the middle above the noise. Thanks, I need to make decision is next few days.

OK, thanks

Please forgive me for this but I really don't know....why would you buy OBC? Do you get some kind of discount and if so, how and where do you purchase it. Thanks

I am booked on the February 2016 Anthem cruise. I have my confirmation number but when I went to RC to complete my check in information it said that I would not be able to do this until 90 days prior. to sailing date. Will this keep me from being able to reserve dining and entertainment options? Thanks

Is there public transportation to either Friar Bay Beach and Cockelshell Beach

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Taking a cruise with Royal Caribbean to Bermuda out of Baltimore. We will be driving to the Port. Would like to come a day early. Any suggestions for a reasonable place to stay that offers parking and shuttle? Thanks.

Looking forward to review

Are you referring to the Thin Anthem, or the Wide Anthem ? If you're referring to the wide one, here's a ton of threads about everything you want to know about it :D:eek:
