Good Morning Kyle,

 

 

We see you way out there on the webcam. The tug boats are running out to guide you in on a beautiful morning in Bermuda.

Good morning! We are transiting the channel now, actually a bit faster than I thought, about 14.5 knots at the time I left the stateroom which was 5-10 minutes ago.

 

Anthem's first sight of Bermuda :)

I'm not sure how well you can see it, but Anthem's wake is breaking over the reefs. Shallow indeed!

Welcome to Bermuda! I loved watching you come in. Do you happen to know how long it took for the ship to clear customs? I have parasailing booked for 9am and I hope I didn't cut that too close. It was cheaper to book at 9

[CapitalKyle]

Well those channel-dredgers did us proud! We are tied up safe and sound at Heritage Wharf.

 

Coffee and breakfast now in Two70.

 

Since our stateroom is right on the hump at the aft elevator bank, it's down one flight of stairs and a quick walk through The Via to the Cafe @ Two70. There's an opening on the other side into Two70 proper, so it's in one side, out the other with your food to find a comfy spot to eat with some amazing views.

I think the ship does not get in until 9

Thank you!

 

We were in the process of tying up to the pier at approximately 8:20am, and they have been letting people off the ship for a little bit now. So I'd say 30 minutes to clear the ship, on the conservative side. This being the first time for Anthem here I'm not sure if that has any effect on how long customs took.

CONGRATS on your upcoming vows!! We sail 6/25/16 --- maybe we will be going again in 2017 for our 20th wedding anniversary!

 

Thank you! We are really excited. And congrats on 20 years in 2017.

It appears the Anthem is docked with portside against the pier. Yes? Excited if it is; we will be there next Monday and in June and have a portside balcony both times.

Thank you!

Oh, that is good news! So it is possible to be off the ship by 9? I was thinking that was docking time. Enjoy your day

Hi Kyle,

 

Great thread and I'm really enjoying the real time posts. I believe your stateroom is located on the starboard side of the ship, which is opposite the pier. Therefore, I was hoping that you could post some pictures of your view from your balcony. I'm deciding if I want to switch my cabin from starboard to port side. If memory serves you overlook Hamilton in the distance, which is nice especially at night.

 

Thanks,

Rick

Oh my gosh Kyle....I got goose bumps seeing her come in for the first time! It's so cute seeing the tugs honor her first arrival! Looks like a beautiful day too! Enjoy!!!!

Thank you both so much for posting these! I'm at *cough* work *cough* and they block the webcams. :rolleyes: :(

Just found your thread. Pictures are wonderful. We are on the same five day starting July 9. Have fun!

You're welcome! Wish I was a tad bit more savvy on posting pics to the thread that aren't fuzzy and microscopic :-)

I don't think they always dock the same way. When we were there last year, they had the starboard side facing port
