forgeweasley34 Posted March 24, 2022 #227 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm on the 4/3 sailing and your posts are getting me so excited! I just booked last week, so the first check-in time I could get was 1pm. If I show up at 11a will they let me in? I loved Quantum, so I want to maximize my time onboard, if possible 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seetheworldonaship Posted March 24, 2022 #229 Share Posted March 24, 2022 My husband and I are booked on the 4/24 sailing and have been following along anticipating our turn on the lovely Anthem! Thank you for all of the information. Can you please tell me if the Daily Cruise Compass still says "Appointments required" next to the Fitness Center? It did in November. Am hoping it's now walk-in except for the classes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not requested the daily compass as it is by request only and we just use the app. I will look to see if I can find out and report back. check back in a bit.

While not a definitive answer it certainly seems to be use at will currently and the app show first come first serve for morning vitality stretching class.

On the Harmony in January there was no restrictions on gym use, but they did block off every other tread, elliptical and bike to give social distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seetheworldonaship Posted March 24, 2022 #236 Share Posted March 24, 2022 @seadog67 and @crewsweeper......Thanks so much for the responses. We always 'plan' on using the gym so we wanted to be ready to make those appointments if needed! Sadly, we never actually go as often as we hope while we are planning it all out!! Too much to do...too little time :-)! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog67 Posted March 25, 2022 Author #238 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Good Morning Cruise Critics, welcome to day 6 of Semi-Live from Anthem of the Seas.. Not much to report after sailaway yesterday, as we watched several pier runners get back about 20 mins late, then during dinner in CHOPS, ( we were both not hungry so only had some appetizers and salads) the cruise director came on over the loudspeakers and in the most serious tone informed us of an important announcement of an unfortunate incident.... everyone in CHOPS stopped and listened intently as we thought due to his tone either some crazy world event happened or an issue with the ship.. he proceeds to announce We Will Rock You has been canceled for the remainder of the sailing.. we do not know what the issue is and hope no one is injured but the way he presented the news we really thought the ship had major issue. In place of WWRY they are have multiple showings of Led Zepagain.. Currently have passing storms with a good deal of clouds with slight swells. Will post some more photos from around the ship and some details of the crew and a few questions that need answers.. Cruise week is the only week I am not thankful it is Friday 😆 Have a great day critics!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherwise, prepare for a chilly return Sunday morning, temps down near 30 in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious...was Joff (the CD) present during your cruise? Or only on announcements? The reason I'm asking is I was on the cruise prior to you. Mid way during the cruise when he was introducing one of the shows he commented on a scratchy voice. Then he no longer introduced shows going forward and the activity manager did in his place. Someone on our FB page said he tested positive but not sure how they knew or if this was true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog67 Posted March 25, 2022 Author #243 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Sorry for the lack of updates today, took an impromptu day away from electronics today. Got some pictures of the Port Store and Liquor on offer… just a photo dump of each section of liquor in the store. We did not see WWRY when in offer before the cancellation but saw it before. Weather today started out cloudy with storms then by noonish the sun made an appearance but the winds kicked up. Will post more tonight and tomorrow on areas of the ship we missed. We had reservations for 9 am bumper cars and completely forgot about it and missed it by an hour. Today they had various sessions of bumper cars that needed reservations to partake. We will try tomorrow on open access for bumper cars.. Found out today that it is $19 for a ride on the Northstar. We rode it several times in the past when there was no charger, ( at least I recall it was complimentary) so saw no need to pay for it. Heading to Jamies for dinner then the 7 PM Led Zepagain in the main theather.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billslowsky Posted March 25, 2022 #249 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thanks for posting the photos of the booze, I never remember to write down what it would cost at home. A couple of comparisons to totalwine in Cherry Hill (per their website): Woodford Reserve 750 ml $34 (TW) vs ship 1liter 2/$60 (I think it says $34.99 for one) Tanqueray 1l $33 (TW) vs ship 1l 2/$50 (guessing $30 for one) Kentucky Owl Confiscated 750ml $130 (TW) vs ship $100 (looks like same size) But on some of the other stuff like grey goose, it didn't look like a particularly special deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
