ranchette Posted November 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Just wondering if people have found many solo travelers on the Anthem especially on the 11 day cruise? Do they have solo meet ups on this ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticketsunlimited Posted November 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2022 We have been on the 11 day and 12 day cruise on Anthem a couple times and there seemed like a lot of Solo passengers where onboard. We love that itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmerick Posted November 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Been on three 11 day cruises on Anthem. Solo travelers all over. All 12 Studio Balconies filled every trip, plus many more piling up the points in "normal" cabins or JS. Yes there were solo and singles meet-ups. After several trips as solo in an inside cabin, I'm now completely hooked on the Studio Balconies. The Cabin stewards are much more attentive to the Studio guests. Points don't matter, I'll never make it much past my current "Diamond". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crzndeb Posted November 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) I have traveled solo for years, and it is my preferred way to cruise. I don’t normally attend the meetup, because it’s not really my thing, but I know others that do. I did meet a couple of solos on my recent Wonder TA, on the Roll Call, and would meet up for drinks and play trivia together. I personally won’t book single cabins, since my goal is to get to 340 points, which then gets you a discount as a solo cruiser. They can add up pretty quickly when booking double occupancy cabins. Also make sure to check out your Roll Call. Edited November 25, 2022 by crzndeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they very much less expensive then a normal balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are usually less, since it's a solo and you are not paying the 200% surcharge for a regular cabin, but not 1/2 the price of a regular cabin.

Rare FionaMG Posted November 25, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Just now, ranchette said: Are they very much less expensive then a normal balcony? Not necessarily. I've got 2 normal (well, obstructed) balcony cabins booked on Anthem and one is booked with just me in it. They are right next to the studio cabins. But at the time I booked it would have cost me an extra $800 to book a studio cabin. Moral of the story: be sure to check the prices for both.

I’m not solo on my next cruise, which is New Years on Navigator. Going with daughters and grandkids. Not sure how I will do sharing a cabin..😂 My next solo is B5B on Ovation next year from Sydney.

I'm going on the Anthem in January with my sister & brother-in-law. My husband passed away in April and we had this cruise already booked.We had cruised on the Anthem at least 5 other times but always together. It will be strange.

Giantfan13 Posted November 26, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 26, 2022 We are on the Anthem, for the first time in January. Are you required to make reservations for any shows beforehand? Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reservations required for shows in theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It varies by several factors. Ship location, weather, time of day, how many people using it, your location on the ship and in relation to nearest hotspot, etc. We were on in August and again now... some moments it's ok and no problems, other times it shows you are connected to wifi but without internet connection. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted November 27, 2022 #22 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Any idea if the Anthem has Starlink yet or when it may be installed? We are on in late January and both need to work a little bit during sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
