Akari Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I went on Royal Caribbean's Anthem of The Seas last week, it was a wonderful experience and it was the first time I had ever experienced happiness. My life is absolute despair, constant depression and never ending sadness, but on my Anthem of The Seas trip I met someone amazing. This person had given me 3 days of pure happiness and it was the best I had ever felt in my life. Crazy how one week can change so much. On the last day of the trip I started feeling dread. Dread of my life. I would have to leave the one place that gave me happiness and go back to my life of pure pain. It hurt me so much, it drove me to some of the worse depression I've ever felt. I'm still feeling it. I got back home on Sunday and I wish it could have never ended. But I'm glad it happened, I'm glad I was able to feel happiness for the first time, and I'm thankful that the first person who could make me happy, happens to be incredible. This cruise ship changed my life, and I did get the number of the person I met, so hopefully I can see them again, I know we both would want that. Thank you Anthem of The Seas. You may have caused the worst depression of my life, but you also gave me my only happiness.

smokeybandit Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I've met a lot of people on board ships who found their happy place on cruises to the point of having a second family on board.

Rogillioville Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 I'm happy you had such a memorable cruise!!! Before we sailed on Anthem we had a less than stellar cruise experience on Liberty of the Seas and swore off Royal Caribbean after that cruise. We did Anthem 3 years ago on a 9 night New England - Canada itinerary, and this ship turned us around and brought us back to Royal Caribbean. LOVE LOVE LOVE Anthem!!

RCIfan1912 Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Sounds like Anthem OTS is the new love boat. It is an amazing ship that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Cruising really is a unique special vacation. The natural isolation at sea and physical disconnection from land lets you escape your daily lives and any struggles or tribulations you have back home.
