Day by Day on the Anthem January 3

[TwoTimer81]

As far as dining went, I asked for the 30% multi restaurant discount that wasn't given to me on day 1 as promised. They gave it to me immediately. But the system gives it automatically on day four...so I kinda got over on them. Truth be told, every entree that came out OK in the MDR as told by other guests were the meats, and Silk was worse than the others as far as food quality as a common complaint. There wasn't really any Asian food on the ship that was beyond mediocre. Most of my recommendation about the MDR was a combo of food quality, slightly slow service and the idea that u can't reserve anything around it there were quite a few decent reviews about the service on the TV but I can't remember anyone raving about the food

So much great information -- thank you for taking the time and being so thorough! Always appreciate hearing different impressions, particularly of a newer ship, and I loved your hits/misses approach. I'll be on the Anthem in less than a month and I'm sure I'll look over this thread again before I go. Thanks!:)

I noticed your mentioning of "rough seas". As I am prone to sea sickness Im just naturally curious how you felt AOS handled the rough water?

We've not been able to notice any difference in how one ship handles rough seas over another. However, it might be a good idea to book a stateroom as close to midship and as low as possible.

I did just that! Level 10 mid ship. Hopefully I will be fine.

Update: I booked the same sailing next January and am looking forward to the two new islands on this itinerary. Should be in a spa suite unless a good dead on a balcony comes along. Also, my coworker's dad was on the storm sailing. He won a free cruise in the casino during the holiday sailing last December and ended up on the storm one. I wonder what deal he got

I liked your hits and misses review style.
