On Anthem. Waiting patiently for sail away!!


Recommended Posts

You have a beautiful family. Thanks for the review. Sailing Anthem in two weeks. My sons are not coming. We used to cruise every year. But they grew up on me! Still can't wait for the day when no land's in site. Thanks again for your review.

Thanks for the review and the casino tip for the early 20s. Do you remember the time for the Welcome Aboard show? Thanks

 

If you kids enjoy sports have them look on the compass for the adult tournaments like 3 v 3 basketball, dodgeball, ping pong. They may meet others their age there as well. My boys started on the basketball courts on embarkation day. My middle son pretty much has that as his home base. My oldest son likes it but not enough to stay all day. Put in a batting cage ,however, and you would be fighting him for usage time! Lol. Most of the court kids were older teens around 15-18. My oldest had signed up for boot camp and yoga. Boot camp conflicted with some of the adult tournaments so he only did dodge ball but he said it was fun.

 

Most of all...enjoy your cruise!!

Thank you!

We are looking forward to the day the kids don't join us! We really do like having them tho. When we were planning this vacation I knew there would be a possibility my oldest would have conflicts. He said he would rather quit his job than give up our vacation. They love to travel. DH and I have had an occasional overnight getaway. These days with social media, a 17 yr old son with a girlfriend and a 15 yr old girl just discovering the high school social scene there is no way on earth we would leave them alone. One tweet or snapchat or whatever and its party central. It's unfortunate , but I have seen and heard too much of it happen.

 

Enjoy you cruise and your time with your husband! I miss the sound of the waves already!

They are 23 and 25, with their own job obligations. We figure soon we can get them back as a free vacation sounds good to them. It was much easier when school was the only factor. Anyway, yes the waves are calling

Perfect ages for you to go and have fun without them!

Thank you! We do have fun when we are together....not too much of that now that they are older and so independent.

 

Enjoy your upcoming cruise. December will be here before you know it!
