Can you find out how much the drink package is on board? Thanks.

 

For this sailing it is 57$ + 18% gratuity per day.

Most likely, but cans would cause less suspicion.

 

Thank you

Hey Radio, there's been some scuttlebutt concerning a rumored change of policy concerning the Diamond Lounge and drink vouchers, etc. Can you confirm (or not) that the Diamond Lounge is big enough for all and that the policies remain as they had been? Last year there were so many of us that they opened the top floor of the Music Hall for us so we could all sit, rather than being on each others' laps. I hope that's the case.

[DaniDanielle]

Last week they had the Music Hall open for Diamond

The top floor of the Music Hall is open on this cruise for the Diamond overflow. There are plenty of seats for everyone. Cheers!

The port Shopping Talk at 11,

I had read in an older post that these often offer a binder of coupons for a great deal. Is that true and if so do you have details?

I am looking forward to another live Radio review. I'm on the Anthem in September for a 9 night New England/Canada itinerary.

Hello everyone . . . Today was a great sea day on Anthem of the Seas. The Cruise Director hosted our Meet and Mingle for Cruise Critic Members. There were about 20 prizes that were given away to members. I was surprised that so many passengers attended today. Our CD also informed us that this is the inaugural visit for Anthem of the Seas to Miami. We were told that many City Officials and Royal Caribbean Executives will be coming aboard. There will be helicopter fly bys from news media. The ships FlowRider and iFly staff will be performing for the aerial views. Anthem will receive the royal treatment from water cannons as she approaches the pier slowly.

The Top Tier event was held in the TWO70 Lounge thisafternoon. There were a lot of drinks being served, and there were severalhundred passengers in attendance. Captain Ban Srecko came out to address thecrowd to discuss his career with Royal Caribbean.

I had dinner tonight up in Windjammer and there were verygood choices, and all of my group thought that the entrees were very good. I amhappy to say that Casino Royale has been very Radio Friendly. The usual machinesthat I like to play weren’t helpful so I just changed to some different games.I should go back again tomorrow.

 

Here are a few pics from today. . .

Hi Radio Am looking forward to another fantastic cruise review and pictures, Thanks for taking us along. Gary

As you are sailing South can you see the shore line, or are you to far out at sea?

[Merion_Mom]

The pool deck will be very busy this week. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You get the hordes of children. We get the Super Bowl. ;) :D

[Merion_Mom]

Could you post a couple of pictures from the diamond Lounge breakfast setup ? Is there diamond hapy hour on embarkation day ? We will be on the February 25th sailing.

The "happy hours" occur every day - this isn't Celebrity. :D :D :D

[dailaway]

We’re on that sailing to can’t wait

[notmyrealnameoremail]

Radio, thanks for the great pictures and updates. We are both following and enjoying vicariously. Getting psyched up for the 9th. :D

We were hoping if we just took a half dozen bottles of soda each in our carry on, it would be ok...??

We were able to bring on a case of 6X710ml plastic bottles of Coke Zero on Anthem's last cruise along with 12X500ml case of spring water. Both were delivered to our cabin with the shrink wrap unopened.

They had to be in a bag to be checked in. We used one fabric reusable shopping bag for both. Just tie the handles together with a knot and attach your luggage tag.

Hello everyone and good morning . . . Welcome to DAY 3 of “LIVE” from Anthem of the Seas. We are currently about 200 nm east of Hilton Head, SC.The weather today is very cloudy, but much warmer (55F) with light winds. It should warm up a bit more today, while tomorrow should be at 78F.

The outdoor pools were open yesterday, but no one was there.It seemed that all 1000 junior cruisers may have used the indoor family pool. Ithink that more passengers will be using the outside pool decks today. I may even decide to take a swim.

I think it is nice that they are showing full length feature films in 3D at the Royal Theater, Today they will be showing Rogue One and I am sure it will be a packed house. I may also try Bumper Cars later today up in SeaPlex (DECK 15). Some of my group is going on NorthStar later today, but I am taking a pass. I found out how to get a free cruise on Anthem of the Seas . . .In Casino Royale you only have to have 2400 points to get a free cruise fortwo. I need to spend more time there as I only have 25 points so far. . . Ooops

 

Here are a few pics from this morning. . . Thanks for tuning in.

Goods news, Radio, if you are playing slots rather than tables. Those points rack up more quickly. Good luck! Katherine

[shiphound]

We are on Anthem with you. Having a great time. We were at the Meet and Mingle. Very nice but there was no ability to meet and mingle like I have been able to do on other ships. Cruise director talked the whole time.

[Jimbo]

Don't think I have ever seen a life guard before by a Royal Caribbean pool before? When did they start that?

That's great news for you Radio! If you're ahead after earning 25 points, you'll have almost 100X that much money after 2400 points. A free cruise for two AND extra spending money. Win-win. :D;p
