WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY - WE JUST LOVE CRUISING AND TRY TO DO IT A FEW TIMES A YEAR. ITS THE MOST RELAXING AND STRESSLESS WAY TO TRAVEL. WHATEVER YOU DO, ITS YOUR WAY AND THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS OR ROUTINES.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
AS ALWAYS, ANTHEM OF THE SEAS CAME THROUGH WITH THE SERVICE, FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT. THERE WAS A GLITCH WITH MY GARMENT BAG - IT WAS LOST FOR A DAY BUT FOUND RUN OVER BY SOMETHING WITH ALL THE TAGS OFF AND ALL THE HANGARS BROKEN. THE SHIP TOOK RESPONSIBILITY AND OFFERED A CREDIT TOWARDS MY NEXT CRUISE. OTHERWISE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT.
Ship experiences

THE MAIN DINING ROOM AND SPECIALTY RESTAURANT THAT WE ATE IN (CHOPS GRILLE) WAS ALL THAT WAS EXPECTE3D TO BE. FOOD WAS EXCELLENT.

OUR CABIN STEWART "LUCKY" WAS ADORABLE. CATERED TO OUR EVERY WISHES AND DID NOT DISTURB US FOR CLEANING ROOMS WHEN WE WERE ASLEEP. LOVED HIM!!!

Ship tip
ITS A LARGE SHIP SO YOU WILL HAVE SOME WAITING FOR TABLES AT EITHER BUFFET OF MAIN DINING ROOM. ITS NOT TOO LONG SO DONT GET "CRANKY" LIKE MY BOYFRIEND. If YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GREAT VACATION AT A REASONABLE PRICE THEN THIS IS THE WAY TO GO - CRUISING!!!!!
THE SIX ISLANDS WE VISITED WERE LOVELY. WE HAVE BEEN TO THEM MANY TIMES BEFORE BUT NEVER GET TIRED OF THEM. THE PEOPLE, THE SHOPS AND THE CAFES ARE ALWAYS WORTH GOING TO AGAIN AND AGAIN. WE DID NOT DO ANY ESCURSIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE DONE THAT ALREADY BUT EACH OF THE ISLANDS DID RECEIVE A DONATION FROM ALL THE SOUVENIRS WE BUY TO BRING HOME TO THE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE PORT BECAUSE IT HAS THE "RALPH LAUREN OUTLET", WHERE I BUY MOST OF MY GIFTS AND CLOTHE3S FOR US TO BRING BACK HOME. ALSO, THEY HAVE CVS WHICH IS MY FAVORITE DRUG STORE AND THEY USE ALL MY COUPONS AND PERKS THAT I GET FROM THE STATES. WE ALSO LIKE THE COACH OUTLET AND ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENT STORES WHERE I CAN "SHOP". HAHA!!!!
ST. MAARTENS IS ONE OF THE MOST PICTURESQUE. WE LIKE TO STOP AT A CAFE AND HAVE SOME LUNCH WITH A COUPLE OF THEIR SPECIALTY DRINKS OVERLOOKING THE WATER. JUST MAGNIFICIENT. WE ALSO ALWAYS STOP AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO SAY A PRAYER AND LIGHT A CANDLE. IT MAKES US FEEL BETTER. THE SHOPS THERE ARE ALSO VERY NICE AND FULLL OF SOUVENIRS FOR US TO SPEND OUR MONEY.
ANTIGUA WAS A LIFE SAVER THIS TRIP BECAUSE WE NEEDED A PHARMACY TO GET SOME MEDS FOR MY BOYFRIEND AND THEIR BAYSIDE DRUG STORE HAD ALL WE NEEDED. AGAIN, THE SHOPS WERE ABUNDANT WITH TRINKETS AND OF COURSE I BOUGHT SOME.
ST. LUCIA IS GORGEOUS WITH ITS MOUNTAINS AND VOLCANOS - SO PICTURESQUE. WE LOVE THE CAFES AND SHOPPING THERE ALSO. I THINK ITS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL THE ISLANDS.
BARBADOS WE NEEDED THE BUS TO GET TO TOWN WHERE WE SHOPPED AT THE MALL AND BOUGHT LIQUOR TO BRING BACK HOME. THIS IS A RATHER POOR ISLAND BUT IT DOES HAVE ITS CHARM.
IT WAS NOT STRESSFUL AT ALL. WE HAD OUR "SET AND SAIL" INFORMATION ALL COMPLETE SO IT WAS EASY TO JUST GO THROUGH SECURITY AND GET ON BOARD. LOVE THE CRUISE BECAUSE YOUR VACATION STARTS AS SOON AS YOU STEP FOOT ON THE SHIP.
