Just Booked the Anthem of the Sea

[Cruise a holic]

My DH and I just booked a March 19, 2016 on the Anthem of the Seas'. We are truly looking forward to sailing on this ship! We try the Quantum the coming March and the following, the Anthem.

 

Cannot wait to enjoy these two wonderful ships! Any other people book the Anthem yet? I believe booking is now only for Diamond and above RC members.

We booked today too, November 10, 2015, and are very excited as well.

 

It's open for booking now for all C&A members, not just Diamond and above. Looks like the prices are finally up on the Royal website. Took them long enough!

I was going to book for March 2016 but I couldn't believe that they had the 12 day cruise right there in the middle of March break for lots of kids.

 

We ended up booking the 8 day at Christmas instead.

Good for you you will be on her in about 700 days.

Is your cruise going from Bayonne to the Caribbean?

I wanted to book for a Jan 2016 Anthem cruise, but I have to wait until Monday because I'm in Australia (ie by the time the cruises went on sale on Friday it was close of business here in Oz)...hope I don't miss out!

I received an email yesterday from RCI, inviting me to book the Anthem. The 12 night Western Carib intrigues me....

Booked a balcony stateroom for the January B2B eastern and western Caribbean: - 22 days at sea- without having to fly! :D

I booked the 10 night Eastern on Jan. 15, 2016. I'm very excited since I cancelled my Quantum booking.

I booked it as well. 3/4/16 3-Nighter.

[yj2cute]

OK, I changed from the 1/15/16 sailing to 4/8/16. Same itinerary, only $10 more pp and much better sailing weather from NJ. :)

Good move.

Good move.

 

I think so too. I really wanted the Southern or Western route but the price was too rich for my blood.

We just booked the 3 nighter too in the new Deluxe balcony w/obstructed view. Our TA has to get back to us if the Balcony Discount applies - I don't think she was able to apply it right away - anyone else know if it is applicable for this cruise?

I booked the same rooms.

 

I would think the discount applies.

 

Did your TA tell you which rooms were more or less obstructed?

Okay that's the exact same category that I booked. I paid the $476 pp. What's the "balcony" discount? My TA never mentioned a "balcony discount" to me.

Crown & Anchor has balcony discounts (tiered amounts) depending on the # of nights / C&A Status.

We booked 6562 - according to the deck plan it looks like the balcony is a wee bit bigger with a slant with a rear view of the ship
