Had my first ever Royal cruise about a month ago on the Independence of the Seas, the wife and I are totally hooked. Just booked Anthem for February, cant wait!
@@-Believeituz2kk it was great. Such a beautiful ship. Wish we had better weather but it wasn't terrible because there was so much to do on board. Again such a beautiful ship, the crew was also just amazing. I will definitely consider going again once the ship switches to its European tour. I loved it!
Going on anthem and March 23 can't wait this is the first time we're going out of NJ. Was on Odyssey April of 22, loved the sea Plex and play makers. They still were not allowing roller skating on Odyssey can't wait to do it on anthem.
Excellent information! Thank you. Did you do the 7-days Bahamas from NJ? We are doing that in Nov 2023 on Anthem of the Sea. First time with Royal Caribbean.
@andreapayne3842 They recently changed the itinerary so it drops Nassau. Which was one of the main ports we wanted! 😫 But they are giving us a full cruise day fare back. It will be added as cabin credit and unused amounts will be refunded to out credit card.
So if I understand what you just said correctly, you can choose the make your own drink option at Bionic bar and make the whole thing liquor and it still charges you around $7?
@@ByteSizeCruises Interesting. I'm thinking about skipping the drink package because I have sky class and there's a 3 hour happy hour every night. I figure I probably won't get my money's worth during the remaining hours. But it's nice to know there's one spot for cheaper drinks!
Absolutely. We will rock you is a little spicy but mostly innuendo so they won’t pick up on it. The gift is just fun music and a story about love. 270 spectra’s cabaret I didn’t like but the robots and tech are cool
Hi. The key is basically a fast pass. You get internet access. Lunch on embarkation day in the dining room but the lunch is from chops the steakhouse. You get private times at all the attractions throughout the week like roller skating bumper cars. Sky diving simulator. And you get priority embarkation
I was on Odyssey last month. Be prepared for more odd shows. Showgirls was normal with great costumes but I couldn’t recommend the others. It was a 6 nt and we were busy every day. Wasn’t a typical relaxing, lay in the sun vacation. Ship is cool but my heart belongs to Oasis class ships. Enjoyed your video.
@@I3ehr I love having a ton of options. Also. Hard to believe but in my opinion they are less crowded. It is so big and there are so many options it doesn’t feel as crowded. On quantum if you have a full ship. It feels crowded. Long lines at the elevators and there is not as much public space. But again. My opinion.
We have a 5:30 dining time. Can you explain the main dining rooms to me. Do we eat in the same one every night? I want to see if we can get a table for two
Of course. Yes. If you are eating in the main dining room. It will be the same room and table each evening. On your first day on your sea pass card it will have your table number. You can always ask the maitre d to give you a smaller Table. Also if you booked through a travel agent they can change your table to a small one
Hey there. Nope. It will charge you if you order from the kiosk. However. There is an attendant there and he can do it for you and you won’t get charged

Going on our first cruise together on Anthem so will have to remember this. I liked it so I can rewatch as we get closer.
Yes. Hope. You have a blast

Great video - I'm hoping to get onto Anthem next year, so this was really useful!

@@ByteSizeCruises thanks! i’m leaving in a couple of hours!

Correct. There are def limits. If you go doubles etc it can go up but if you did like a Long Island iced tea format it’s 7

@@ByteSizeCruises thank you!
Really looking forward for the cruise on 9-1-24 out of Southampton.
Hope you have a blast
We’re going on the same cruise. See you there lol
@@iloveshoes20111 I don’t know who you are, but I’ll see you there🤪
We're going on Anthem with our kids, some of them elementary aged. Would any of the shows be at all appropriate for them, or are they all more adult?
Absolutely. We will rock you is a little spicy but mostly innuendo so they won’t pick up on it. The gift is just fun music and a story about love. 270 spectra’s cabaret I didn’t like but the robots and tech are cool
Where is the breakfast buffet and is it every morning?
It is at silk and I believe it is sea days only
Appreciate the Tips!! 😂 to Stay away from Kids!
:)
We are new to Anthem, what’s ‘the key?’

Would love to know why you prefer Oasis class. I have yet to experience any of those ships. 😀

70th comment😊😊
Please can you tell me whether you can bring your own rollerblades to the seaplex thankyou.
Great question. I can ask!!
@@ByteSizeCruises thankyou your videos are so helpful.
@@matildamccraw5746 thx. And I called and you can bring your own!
@@ByteSizeCruisesThis comment doesn't apply to me but it's awesome you called for a viewer
Wow. I can't believe I watch this whole thing. Hope you have a day job.. Never thought I would say that.
Can’t find this info anywhere… if you have the soda package only, can you get straight soda at the Bionic Bar?
Hey there. Nope. It will charge you if you order from the kiosk. However. There is an attendant there and he can do it for you and you won’t get charged
Lunch and breakfast at silk or American Icon? I thought breakfast and lunch is only on sea days in MDR.
Lunch is only sea days. Breakfast they are open every day. Both are open. Silk is a buffet style
Breakfast every day is great 👍 8 to 1?
Depends on the day. Usually 8-10:30 ish. Port days earlier
