On Anthem, The Key is front row on main level?

Yeah ... we didn't request the front row from our genie because we thought that was reserved for SC anyways.

So...what’s the verdict? Chops filet or CK filet?

CK by far.  Was pretty disappointed in the crab claw seafood tower.    Not the type of claws I was expecting

Oh just a quick room update .... we are above the 270 theater,  so it's 11 PM and we can hear the bass from the show there.   Yeah, it's a bit loud.

Not much of a loss with the Gift being cancelled lol.

Yeah told Yen not to book us right now for the reschedule

Soooooooo..... yeah im posting as we sit here after the first 5 or so minutes of The Gift because it just stopped due to technical difficulties.  We'll see how long it takes and how many people leave

Well the show got canceled.   The CD came on stage to apologize and said it's rescheduled for tomorrow at 10pm.  Looks like time to make a casino run. 

Bermuda tomorrow, so no live scoping till maybe tomorrow evening.   

Izumi on deck for dinner tomorrow, not sure about that one after draggin the kids to the sushi making class way to early this morning.

There’s going to be 7 of us, three kids though so they take up less space

In one room there are two beds that drop from ceiling over the other two beds

Ok that's a bit lame ... the damn key people get the first 4 rows ... over Star.  That's what the sign states

Chops round 4

Sneaking dessert into the show 

Cheesecake and lemon meringue merengue.... well crap it's a lemon thing, I'm blaming my phone can't spell.   That or the amount of food

Chops round 3

Chops round 2

Seafood tower.   Nothing but crab claws

Chops dinner ... round 1

Goat cheese salad,  lobster bisque and a crab cake

Hey @Lovetocruise2002, watch the round 3 scope.  Towards the end I hit the teen center room for you.   I couldn't get it all since I didn't want to scope some kids that were in there.  Let me know if you need another....

Laundry Star Class style. Same day done 

Trying to scope but internet keeps cutting out

@TheHobbys I can't remember if you made mention of it before but what type of Star Class room did you have on Oasis?  Was it the Aqua Theater suite? 

Yeah it was the AT 2br

@TheHobbys Hey John! I haven't been able to read through this whole blog yet but I've been enjoying your scopes so much! I have been researching that the Loterie Farm Zip-Lining and was wondering if you booked ahead of time?

Thanks. Glad you are able to catch them.   For the zipline, we got them in the cruise planner.  We didn't go thru their website.   Or tickets showed up here this morning so hopefully they are good to go.   I'll post pics since I can't scope from there. 

Ahhhhhh sure wish this was my daily office view.    Yeah I can Skype from here lol

Coastal Kitchen breakfast

Day 2. At Sea.

Guess what??  I slept like a rock last night!  Woot. I knew I would sleep better.  To bad I can't just live in this suite, it's pretty bad a@@.  The weather now is little cool with mostly cloudy skies and drizzle of rain every now and then but should clear up.    The seas are normal, waves around but no major white caps.   

Let's recap.   Oh, just go watch my scopes from yesterday. Hah.  

The kids took off to explore so have them a time to be at the CK for lunch.   So far, they are always back on time.   Our son said he filmed the whole ship in 25 minutes lol. Yeah can't wait to see THAT video.   Makes my scopes look like a James Cameron film. 

Lunch yesterday was in the CK.  Now I will say coming for the oasis class, this one seems to me a lot more formalized.  The oasis CK was open and bright,  has a dedicated bar and lounge area with snacks for breakfast.   This one here is a little more ... stuffy feeling.   There's no bar area and it's right next to the WJ.  Was getting some noise from guests in there yesterday, but wasn't too bad.   We got seated and were some of the first guests there.  Might have been about 5 other tables.   After we got seated, we waited.... and waited. More guests showed up ... and waited... more guests,  oh,  here's some bread...and waited.  WTH. Those 3 families behind us just got their drinks and apps?  Yeah,  I was getting pretty irritated.   Heck we didn't have any freaking water.    NOT a good start to the CK.  Finally, some water showed up and took our drink order.   We all ordered a coke but my daughter said Pepsi.  Uh, what.  No clue where that came from. .. we are not 'that' type of house. Heh.  Well, out comes our Cokes and a glass with a sticky note that read Pepsi.  Ok.... that was funny.   My mood got better.  

The food was good and the service got alot better.  We stayed there till Yen came and got us and escorted us to our room.   Blown away.   Yeah, this room rocks. 

We all went roaming around exploring on our own.  Nothing major just getting the layout of the land (I mean ship)  later we came back to the suite to unpack. Oh wait, crap it's time to eat... again. 

Back to the CK for dinner, pictures posted earlier.   This experience was 1000x better.   Not only did the manager come talking to us but brought the head chef out to talk food allergies.   Wait, we don't have any.   Oohhh yeah, in our survey I made mention that our daughter was a vegitabletarian and my wife gets itchy with corn and I don't like asparagus. We chatted with the chef for about 10 minutes about this and was impressed at the attentiveness.  

Today we're doing sushi making, ifly, chops and the show The Gift.  More on that to come...

Oh snap, it's time for first breakfast... gotta split.
