Anthem of the Seas - 5-night Bermuda Inaugural - LIVE-ISH Blog!

[chiapet]

Hi! The reason I think this may not be all that helpful for you is that half of the show times which were available for us to book pre-cruise have either been moved it cancelled.

 

That said, when I post the compasses it should have all the show times in there :)

Thanks so much for the compasses! Hopefully the *show-shifting* is just because it's the first 5-day to Bermuda and they get it worked out before we board in August ;)

 

BTW ... I'm totally LOVING your posts with awesome pictures ... so now I'm addicted to this thread and can't get enough :p

loving your report ! were there any movies shown outdoors and if so which one ?

Sorry, there is no telling which way a ship faces at Dockyard - apparently based on things like crew lifeboat drills and projects.

The view both ways is fantastic though!!

Are you eating at Wonderland at all? If so, can you report back on the prices of the specialty cocktails in the restaurant?

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

 

 

Your Welcome!:) Hope your day at work is going smooth.

 

It was very exciting and we can't wait until June 30th.:D

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.

 

 

Awwww, we're starboard side :( oh well:o

[libertybelle41]

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

 

Ohhhhhh........well, there is hope for the starboard side after all ;)

How cold is the water???

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

 

 

Howdy! Thanks for following along and I'm glad you're enjoying it! Yes, starboard side. And to answer your question and another poster's, we are docked port side in, so we are facing the bay, Hamilton and St. George.

 

Here are a few pics from this morning. I'll try to take some more tomorrow and maybe tonight.

I'm afraid that our shows were shifted quite a bit, too, and we were on a 12-day at the end of March. I always make a spreadsheet with show/dinner/activity times. Good thing I checked my schedule on the tv (which had already been adjusted a few times due to time changes by RCI), because a few of the shows had been rescheduled again!

 

Royal IQ was pretty handy, too.

 

Loving your photos, CaptainKyle!

I actually haven't seen anything on the poolside screen except the random stuff they play during the day while the DJ is playing. Will check the compasses for any movie listings though.

Now that you mention this, they were deploying the lifeboats off our side (starboard) shortly after we arrived.

We did, on night one. Specialty cocktails were $11 or $12 depending. The cotton candytini is great!!

Water was VERY chilly when we first dipped our toes in but we got used to it.

 

Horseshoe Bay Beach GORGEOUS, will be posting plenty of pics of it later.

No curfew! Haha. But things do tend to shut down early. Music Hall was going late the first night though, we were there until 3:00am-ish?

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!!!!

 

 

:D so glad someone else got goosebumps too haha. Something so momentous about it, I was happy to be a part of it! Even if 3/4 of the people on the ship couldn't have cared less :rolleyes:
