My husband and I just did a Star Class cruise this past January on Anthem. Just like you I asked all these questions and was told that it would be a trip of a lifetime! Well, from the moment we arrived and had those blue and gold Wow bands placed on our wrists, the ship was ours. I am excited for you!! I can 't think of a thing we paid for, including any cake or candy in the shop inside Starbucks. Enjoy, enjoy enjoy!
