Thus going at slower speed. That will delay arrivals to Port Canaveral and Nassau. The Port Canaveral stop is anticipated to be very short…4p arrival-7:30 all aboard. Nassau est.arrival 1pm. Compensation: OBC equal to 1 day cruise fare. Edited March 7, 2023 by Starry Eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't heard anything about the other ports. Not that Canaveral is a good port to visit, but that's a rough one - 7 day cruise with 2 stops if they skip Canaveral. Sunday will be our first time on Anthem out of a cold-weather port. Balcony pricing was crazy cheap, so we'll see - rolling the dice on this one, but we figured that the Solarium is enclosed, so should be fine.

bajathree Posted March 7, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Apparently Anthem also sent out letters about an azipod issue back in Jan 2022 and also had to reduce speed and had a slightly delayed return back into Bayonne....not sure what had to be done but think the next sailing went out as scheduled....not sure if there were more issues reported since. Anthem azipods suffered significant damage back in that storm they hit back in 2016 where they burnt out all 4 clutches of one azipod and had to shut it down completely. Think that incident required replacing the clutches of both azipods. Edited March 7, 2023 by bajathree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suometar Posted March 7, 2023 #12 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Thanks for the info. We will be on the Anthem on Sunday (hi Toddcan, maybe we'll see you around the ship). We have done this cruise about eight times (it's our anniversary celebration) but on NCL. We were planning to skip P.C anyway, so it isn't an issue for us. In Nassau we might go to Junkanoo beach--or not. I do like the OBC part, though, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live right by Port Canaveral and we’re hoping to watch them sail in today. They often pick up supplies while docked here so I wonder if they do dock this afternoon for a couple hours if it’ll just be for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted March 7, 2023 #18 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) We board the 19th and fortunately didn't plan to get off the ship in Port Canaveral (just spent 6 nights there over Christmas). If Nassau is bumped back an hour that's fine too. Hopefully they have the issue resolved by then. So if this is still an issue, I would actually welcome it since we would actually get some compensation back for something that barely impacts us. Sorry to all you impacted on current sailing Dan Edited March 7, 2023 by The Fun Researcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mets123 Posted March 7, 2023 #22 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Changing topic but still about the Anthem. Are rooms still being cleaned twice a day or are they now down to once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavvy Posted March 7, 2023 #23 Share Posted March 7, 2023 We have just arrived at PC. All aboard at 7.30om so ha e less than 2h in port now Am worried we will be delayed getting back to Bayonne. Lots have flights etc The ship was doing 15 knots most the way down. Hopefully they can get it sorted. Assume we stopped here to re provision. I see lots of beer on the dock! Everyone has been given 1 day credit back. Except me as I was on a casino Comp so nothing to give back haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
