Awesome WWRY was incredible (again)…. Have told DW that I’m running away to sea to chase after scaramouche…. Her response was ‘jog on… you wouldn’t know what to do with her if you caught her…..’….. sad but true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did this on my last trip on Anthem, got very nice room on 13th floor midship. This time, on 12th, midship again, 4th or 5th cabin from the escalators, perfect.

rskjas Posted August 25, 2021 #1487 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi, this might be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway! Do you still have network reception on your phone or is it cellular at sea? 🤔🤔 Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still have network reception on your phone or is it cellular at sea? 🤔🤔 Sue Not a stupid question at all. We were on an MSC UK cruise last month which has the same itinerary as the Anthem and picked up a network signal most of the time. Occasionally lost it but only for a few hours at most. Wouldn’t recommend connecting to Cellular at Sea as it’s extremely expensive. Imo it’s not worth purchasing an internet package unless it’s vital that you have a connection at all times.

I’d prefer the extra outdoor space even if the view was restricted. Should have made clear that upgrade is with a balcony too. States either the room or balcony will be spacious. I would never take a room with just a window Edited August 26, 2021 by gavvy Added pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realize that is RCI marketing speak - on Anthem just about all non-suite balcony cabins are the same size, it's the balconies that vary.

Thanks Hiya besides the cell phone data which we only use in port to be careful (which is just normal), our experiences over the 2 cruises has been: - free WiFi for rC app…. Works ‘ok’ but drops out very frequently….. - surf - well you can connect…. If the wifi holds but it is painfully slow - surf and stream - it does work…!!.. and it is quicker than the other options and a bit more stable…. But if it’s the fastest at sea…. By lord all the others must be slow… you could never watch anything of any length - but pretty good for emails etc CC posting etc… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
