Im sure I could have ordered one but I gotta start the detox

Star class O.  But that's because of the O- class ships we now prefer.

@rjac, you know I have to say this was one of the roughest cruises.  You would think with the air pillow cushion for fuel efficiency that it would be smooth.   Now, I guess this may be due to the route or something but it was still a lot more noticeable than other ships.  
It wasn't enough to rattle your teeth but was still noticable.  The other factor might have been our room on the back left but ther were a few night it was shuttering pretty good.  The officer on the bridge said it was due to the wind... not sure I believe all that. 
I didn't mind it, made for some nice rocking me to sleep ha.  
She plowed through just fine but you'll notice a little more motion.   Pushed between 18-24 knots.   With that itinerary the ship had to rock n roll from one port to another.

We've sailed out of Bayonne on Adventure, Explorer & Quantum, Serenade from Boston and Grandeur out of Baltimore.  The trip south is always a little rocky, no matter which class or ship.  Can't do much, as you are in the ocean and not the Caribbean Sea.  Just a perk of sailing from up north...we're on Anthem in December 2020 and I'm sure we'll experience the same. 

What?! No fillet?!

John, too bad your cruise is coming to an end. Have enjoyed your posts and your comments. One question about the Anthem, how is she handling the open Atlantic? A lot of rocking back and forth or has it been calm? Thank!

You’ll have the beef sweats for the next week. I really need to market the “Star Class Detox Clinic”

Sorry that this has to end, John.  I know that feeling all too well.  I hope you enjoyed Yen.  We certainly did.  Safe trip home.

@CruisingKat(Kathy)...My vote is for @TheHobbys (John) for POTW!!  Just sayin' ?
Thank you John for a fantastic blog and scopes.  I thoroughly enjoyed checking in each day to see what you guys were up to.  Looks like you had a great time.  I have to ask...which do you prefer...Star Class Q class or Star Class O class?

@CruisingKat(Kathy) here is one of John's scopes: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1kvKpOnPmOVxE

Bravo ???

May peace be your journey.

Day 9 - at sea
Well the cruise is coming to and end has been a great cruise.   Give me a couple of days to get home and I'll type up a summary of our trip.   Thanks for everyone who was following along.   It's been great to be your host on this cruise. 
We did hit prime status with the casino and think we get a free cruise or money off another one, but will have to figure all that out soon.  I'll do another post here once we get all the details.
