Life is Good Cruising Posted March 30, 2017 #376 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Fantastic review! I see a lot of comments from people that I will be cruising with April 29th and can't wait. I also like your positive spin (there will always be minor issues, but it's how we handle them). A bad day cruising is better than a good day at work!I believe that I have read every post on your review, but I might have missed some answers. Did you notice an extra charge on the room service menu? We have never ordered room service, but were thinking it would be nice to eat on our balcony this trip. Do you have the unlimited soda package? Have you noticed the Freestyle machines running out? Also, I see that the band Rock the Boat starts May 6, if you happen to ask someone on the entertainment staff who is replacing Resurrection (I believe that's the name of the cover Journey cover band) I would appreciate it! Neither one of these will dampen my spirits while on board, I would just like to be prepared. Once again, thanks for the great review! We'll also be on Anthem 4/29 and the Bon Jovi the Tribute called *Wanted* is on that sailing. We've seen them quite a few times now and they are so very good :D Seadog67, on the 5/6 Anthem sailing, another Journey Tribute band called *DSB*, who I like a little bit better than Resurrection, will be on that sailing, loving your review :) http://dsbband.com/ Edited March 30, 2017 by Life is Good Cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog67 Posted March 30, 2017 Author #377 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks for getting back to me! There are a few free items still, or I could always earn a few extra brownie points and bring back her favorite breakfast from Windjammer , especially since I'm up before her (even on vacation I'm cursed with not being able to sleep in!). Enjoy your day! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Sounds like we are similar, I have the same curse. Rising the same time everyday for decades does condition it into us I guess..

seadog67 Posted March 30, 2017 Author #380 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Strolled around the Seaplex, what a great area for kids. I would have been hanging there all day as a teen.. My back aches at the thought of this, but if we were younger !! Look out! I guess we could bemoan the lack of cool stuff like this when we were younger in the stone ages of the 70 and 80's but we had fun no matter.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You'll also have to check out the casino on your sailing 5/6 and they'll have a singer named Andy Avery performing in the casino a few nights from 9-11 pm. Even though he also sings a few Journey songs, his voice sounds like so many other artist, i.e., Neil Diamond, Frank Sinatra, Lee *********, to name a few.

We saw them on Anthem's 2/26/17 sailing and I asked for their sail dates :D https://wantedtribute.com/tour/ FYI,when checking their website, there are 2 *Wanted* Bon Jovi Tribute bands and the one that plays on Anthem is from LA.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Any idea how strick they are with the age for trapeeze? my Daughter turns 6 on 4/24 and our cruise is 4/9 to 4/17 so she is right there at 6.

maria1122 Posted March 30, 2017 #385 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Beatles Tribute Band - The Liverpool LegendsI have seen them on Anthem and Navigator and thought they were terrific. They have their own theatre in Branson. There is a phone number on the website and you can call and ask when they might be back on the Anthem. http://www.liverpoollegends.com/branson-shows/ There are I think 3 different Beatles group. I have seen 2 of them. One is excellent and one is just o.k. I do agree the Liverpool lengends are terrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking it will be a no for her but wondering if anyone knows ? My family and I will be on your same cruise. In the past, I've found them to be strict on the age with other activities; a teen who was turning 18 a few days after the cruise would be over, wanted to play in the adult dodgeball tournament and it was a no go for him. One of our sons is turning 18 on April 30th and it would be nice if we could play in some adult sporting event tournaments together but, I expect the same and that it will be a no, since he won't be 18 yet. Maybe someone has specific experience with that on the circus thing. If not, you may want to make direct contact with the ship staff beforehand or if you can't find an email for it, ask once onboard.10 Days till we board!!!! :-) Edited March 30, 2017 by Trackhead37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably correct as many of the waivers are online so I assume they may be tied to each person info, so can possibly track ages instead of the old way using height and such to determine who can participate. Good luck either way and have a blast! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackhead37 Posted March 30, 2017 #391 Share Posted March 30, 2017 We will be boarding on the 17th for 12 nights. Our 9th on the Anthem. I was hoping coco cay opened a private beach area for suites since we have been there in February. Enjoy your upcoming in the cabanas. The wife will be the one mainly enjoying it, along with our eldest son. Me and our younger one will be off in the sea, doing our 1st and 2nd open water dive, as part of our PADI certification through the ship. Hopefully I'll get to enjoy it for a little while, later in the day, before we do jet ski tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog67 Posted March 30, 2017 Author #392 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks for the info on the beatles bands, will have to research their website to see if they list sailings they will be on for future bookings we do! So last we left off we were deciding between heading to Atlantis and the water park or using Anthems water park. One can describe my back as a trick back, as it constantly tricks me out into thinking I am in control lol. Well one missed step descending from deck 11 and my lower back creaked and moaned like our cabin and in that instance Seadog became the hunchback of Nassau. It must have heard us discussing the lazy river at Atlantis and said uhh now way big fella. So several advil and a visit to the empty Solarium Whirlpool and it has loosened up a good bit, but we are going to enjoy Anthem for the day. Our view of the Breakaway and an unknown Carnival Ship two berths over.. Be back later with some ship pics after getting some sun, hope everyone has an awesome Thursday!

seadog67 Posted March 30, 2017 Author #395 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Currently on Standby to ride Reservations are required but on port days you can do standby and they will fit you in eventually. We were told the current wait for standby is two trips. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Good Cruising Posted March 30, 2017 #396 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Linda -Do you have a schedule for Andy's performances on Royal ships thru end of the year? -thx - Cheryl No Cheryl I don't, but when we see him on the May 6 sail date I will ask for you. You know he always plays on the CR Golf events and I know last year you saw him on a different CR sailing :). The next Golf event on Anthem is the 9-9-17 sailing, hoping and wishing he's on-board. Just a thought, you can reach out and ask CR about Andy's sail dates which I have done in the past and have had good luck with then getting back to me. Hardly any of the reps will know off hand who Andy is---lol-- but some reps will go out of their way to find out for you. You can also ask CR to send an email to the Corporate CR office, I know for a fact Miami has Andy's schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is Good Cruising Posted March 30, 2017 #398 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Thank you!!!!! Do we need to get tickets ahead of time for this? New to the 'ticket' thing. No tickets to see any Tribute bands but get to the venue, Music Hall & Two70 a good 30 mins. or more before show time if you want a good seat. Ordered tickets for 2 of the main shows online, but one more question if I may: Did the cover band perform more than once or just one show? Thanks again. They will perform one show in the Music Hall and one show in Two70. On longer sailings, I have seen Tribute bands perform two shows in the Music Hall.
