On Anthem Now

[jimsig]

Saw you guys in Boston today on my way home from work. I was about to make a turn and saw the bow of the ship so I continued down the street to get a look. Just got off the Majesty Monday and it really made me second guess not staying on board :)

[jimsig]

I meant to ask, what is the itinerary for this cruise?

Nice review!

I also think Spectra's Cabaret is not to be missed. Is Terry Lavel(?) still a main guy?

 

I am glad you had a nice weather today in Boston. Tomorrow will be rainy!

 

Enjoy

Smooth sailing :)

No Indian food on the buffet all week? :(

No Indian food on the buffet all week? :(

I noticed yesterday it was part of a theme night. I'm accustomed to seeing Indian food on the buffet everyday at a small station. This was not the case on this sailing.

 

The theme nights were - American, Mediterranean, Mambo Italiano, Caribbean Colors, Indian Spice Market, Tex Mex, Asian

I was on this itinerary last year; think they do it once a year. Wonder why they don't do it more often? Also, wonder why they don't stop in Boston first so you don't have to go through immigration on board? Of course, I don't believe we had to again when we landed in Bayonne, so maybe that's a reason.

 

I too really loved this ship and can't wait to return to her next month.

 

Enjoy your last day on her!

We LOVE Anthem.

Glad Dru is the CD--hope he's there in June. What about the Activities Director--is it Chris?

I'm not sure of his name. I stopped by guest services and was advised they stopped printing the flyers with all the officers, etc bios.

It should still be Terry. We saw him in September 2016 and again on the February 26, 2017 sailing. When we said hi to him and told him we were glad he was still on the ship, he laughed and said he had just rejoined the ship after being home for a while.

Few kids on board

No problem with getting a second reservation for iFly later in the week

Solarium Bistro is getting popular and have turned people away last night and tonight due to no reservations although there were empty tables

Plenty of empty chairs in the Solarium

No sign of drink cards available

Highest Pinnacle member on board has over 2200 points (157 cruises)

No sign of Indian dishes at the buffet:(

Purchased bogo dining and was assigned Wonderland for first night-Yippee

Internet is working great

Staff has been wonderful

Great room steward

Pizza appears under cooked. No issues with the staff placing a few slices back in the oven for crispier crust

Food has been yummy although this is subjective

Line for bumper cars was efficient

Bon Jovi band was popular but too loud for me to stay

The Gift is only shown the first 2 nights

Bad rocking last night and this morning

I don't have the drink package

Made to order crepes were available one day for lunch in the windjammer

 

This is now my favorite ship!

 

Hope this info helps someone

 

How's the nightlife on this cruise. Any nightclubs w/ dj's?

[Tee & Chilli]

Live bands in the music hall each night. This sailing has the Bon Jovi tribute band and Synergy. Synergy is populsr and they performed several nights based on the decade. Boleros also had music.

The activities manager is Kevin Tugwell. He is awesome - dynamic personality. Very good chemistry with Dru, not just the morning show but also some of the trivia that they co-host together. He was recently promoted to AM, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is promoted again to a CD someday!

Would you be able to take a peek in the RC store and see how much they are charging for a carton of menthol cigarettes ? I have been asked to bring back 2 cartons when I cruise and was wondering about the price. Maybe newports or Marlboro ? I don't know what kind they sell.

You're in luck. I'm in the area. I'll stop by after I finish my pizza:)

Has anyone tried the new room service offerings? Any good?

 

How about posting some food porn too!

[Tee & Chilli]

Cigarettes - $36.00 per carton when you buy 2

$34.00 per carton when you buy 3

 

I didn't like the pics my iPad is taking. I'll need to experiment with the settings.

Noticed two more signs for tonight- piano music in Schooner bar and Latin dance music in Boleros.

Once you clear US customs no need to clear it again if you next port is your final. We sailed the Majesty 4 day out of Miami about 9 years ago and we cleared in Key West and were in Miami the next day and walked right off the ship.

Happened to us once on a Barcelona to Galveston. Stopped in Miami and cleared immigration. Nobody at Customs when we arrived in Galveston. Oops.
