Anthem, Oasis, and Celebrity Reflection Together in St. Maarten (Photos)

I had the pleasure of sailing on Anthem's inaugural Caribbean voyage that culminated this past Sunday. While I thought about doing a full review, Ken (KCjarvis) has already done such a wonderful job that I will pass. Ken's review can be accessed at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2279405

I did want to share a few photos from Anthem's inaugural call to St. Maarten, where she happened to be docked between Celebrity Reflection and Oasis. As most cruise nerds (and the otherwise well-informed) are aware, the Quantum Class is widely regarded as being a Solstice Class ship on steroids that also has some shared DNA with the Oasis Class. It was pretty cool then to dock between those two ships. I also realized that I just had to get up into the North Star upon returning to the ship that afternoon to take some photos... and I did. :D:cool: Hope you enjoy!

...and now, up into the North Star!

Dave, thanks for sharing those photos! I particularly love the very first one.

It's always fun to see other ships in port, and in your case, what a lineup!

I've sailed on Anthem and on two of the S-class ships; they are all stunningly beautiful.

One final shot from my other ride on North Star while Anthem was at sea... just because I happen to particularly like the shot. Hope you enjoyed!

Love the side by side by side pics

Very cool Dave.

That first picture is like an All-star lineup.

Northstar at it's best.

Please send Q4 to S. Florida. Pretty please.

Great pictures Dave , thanks.

Three very ugly looking ships.

Dave, this is a picture of good, better, best and only you can decide which is which. I wish I had this view right now and was sitting at Holland House. Sounds like you two had a great time.

Happy Thanksgiving to you both.

That's not very nice. I suppose we are entitled to our own opinions though.

We were all ignoring his rude comment (as always) because that is what he does. Sooooo we just ignore him. Please take notice in his signature however. He is BOOKED on one of those "UGLY" SHIPS. LMAO

Thanks Dave. Nicely done.

Fantastic photos!

What was the fourth ship? Otherwise, great photos!
