Cruzan Along

Even my husband, who is not picky about drying his hair, was wishing I'd brought our hairdryer from home. The one in our cabin on Anthem got warm at best and had little power. My curly hair had some pretty frizzy evenings as a result. Next time, I will bring my own.

There is some use of facial recognition software also. When we went to view our pictures, we found a fair number with one of our family members in the background of others who were posing for pics. The best was one of my sons, apparently having an intense heart-to-heart , in the hot tub, behind a group of celebrating teens. I will also say that the photo staff members were quite helpful in linking pics from my cabin with those of my minor sons, in another cabin.

On Anthem 7/26. Most cocktails were served without straws, but if you asked, you were given one. Most frozen drinks were served automatically with a straw. In talking with several of the bar staff, (I seemed to be doing a lot of that - lol) it seems that once the plastic straws are exhausted, the fleet will turn to paper straws, but they will remain by request.
