ROYAL UP is run by a third party.   I can assure you that the reps who answer the phone have NO idea how it works. 

We were Royal UP on the Anthem in June from a JS to a OS midship in the most perfect location.

Where were you out of when they had London Pride?   Was that South Hampton?

They had London Pride on the June 17th sailing out of Southampton ...I counted 7 or 8 British beers, all were pretty good.  Hen was my fav thought!

Tried that at Universal Studios at the Harry Potter train station. Not a fan @grapau27

I was drinking it in England so maybe that is why I loved it:) 

I am actually drinking one now!

Thanks very much for this. I'm going to share the link in my roll call since we are calling in La Coruna on our sailing. 

Outstanding, La Coruna was pretty awesome. 

I am glad we ventured out away from the ship area.

Was Ricardo the concierge?  Usually he is really good.

It was not Ricardo in June

They are in an owners suite, so they can make their Coastal Kitchen reservations with the concierge prior to boarding.

YES correct, but not all Concierges are great to respond to this.   We had NOT the best experience on the Anthem in the OS making reservations in advance via email.   

All our times were messed up, but it was a quick fix once onboard. 

Coastal Kitchen on the Harmony is outstanding.  

Great place for breakfast away from the hustle of the WJ, and awesome dinner location.   Make sure to make dinner reservations when you board, go right up to the Coastal Kitchen. 

I drank A LOT of Old Speckled Hen on the Anthem, A LOT

Anyone who has recently been (or is currently ) on Anthem able to tell me what beer (English beer - cans or bottles, eg Boddington's or London Pride) rather than lager is available onboard?  Thanks in advance.

I was onboard the June 17th sailing and the English beer selection was AMAZING!

London Pride, Old Speckled Hen, John Smiths and about 5 other options I didn't take a picture of.  I can say those other 5 came out of a mixed box, I just can't remember the name.    

Best beer selection I have seen on any of my cruises.   ENJOY!

Thanks to you all for your patience.   The next video is up, join us in Bilbao and La Coruna Spain. 

Bilbao was a modern, beautiful metro city.   We enjoyed the water front, and eating at a small cafe.  

La Coruna was without question an amazing stop.   Beautiful old churches, small streets, amazing people and some pretty awesome sangria:) PLEASE COMMENT and like and dont forget to smash that subscribe button.    We had SOOOO much doing this we have decided to book a few more cruises and continue this. 

Hey All, 

   Sorry for the delay in the next video. 

My uncle passed away this morning and have been helping my mom with some stuff.

Dont forget to go back and subscribe, I should have the next up by Friday. 

Also we booked another cruise so we can make some more content soon 🙂

video is impressive.  thank you for sharing!

 

Thank you so so much, this is our first time doing this. 

We should have two more video to post and a stand alone video on Normandy.  

Stay tuned!

Out of all the cruises we have been on, I am thinking without question the one we just did was the most memorable.   June 17th sailing of the Anthem out of Southampton, what an experience it was!!!!  

Here it is, would love to share it with you all. 

I thought the food on the Meraviglia was fantastic and comparable to all other cruise lines. 

The one thing I was a little disappointed about was the lack of option in the buffet area. 

We are booked on the Meraviglia again, can't wait to be back onboard this beautiful ship.

You enjoy your next cruise also! Thank you for your opinion and input even though it was kind of rough at the start between us. Would drink a beer with you anyday! Take care....

Wellllll now I feel bad:) 

Cheers, we miss the Anthem and will be back for sure.

 You were wrong not to include the suite details. You are just trying to pick a fight. Had no issues had I known you were in a suite.

Suites board first, checkin times are not enforced, enjoy your cruise. 

Just now, coaster said:

Think you need to get over yourself and thinking assigned check in times do not apply to you. Why rules need to be enforced for those like you who think they are better than other's that play by the rules.

You are pretty funny, guess I left out the part where suite guests board first.  I knew you would react the way you did.

Might as well throw a towel on a lounge chair near the pool all day to save it and brag about it. Seems like that would be ok with you.

You should really get over yourself, I mean really. 

And we dont use the pool on sea days, but thanks for the advice. 

Boarded the Anthem in Southampton right at 10:15am on the June 17th sailing.  

Cheater cheater pumpkin eater!

Next video should be up by Wednesday. 

I have decided I will do a totally separate video on the invasion beaches of Normandy.   It deserves it's own video for sure.

WoW, such great videos 🙂 Thanks so much.

I look forward to the next !!

Thank you for kind words, I am new to this so editing has been a bit challenging, so I appreciate it.

Hello All, 

   Thank you for the awesome comments.   Here is day 2 and 3!

Sadly we didn't take a lot of video on the sea day, which I guess is a good thing right? 🙂

In La Rochelle we took a lot of video, but not a lot of dialogue soooooo I added some music for your viewing pleasure.   Anyone have any questions about the beautiful Anthem let me know:) 

MSC is Fantastic. 

I am not sure why people talk trash about the food on MSC when food is so subjective. 

We ate in the main dining room two nights on Meraviglia and the food was great, and in my opinion better than Royals main dining room food.   

The ship is beautiful with a great crew that goes out of their way for the guests.  

My one complaint was the Buffet, not the food itself but the lack of options.   Granted to sailed on the New Years cruise with over 2500 people and it was the first sailing since start back with more than 900 people. On Divina the buffet was amazing! 

Go and enjoy with an open mind, you will like it.
