Anthem of the Seas Christmas and New Year's Cruise with a group of 19 (ages 11 - 82). Fun time was had by all! We love the convenience of leaving from NYC area and enjoyed the 3 days at sea on each end of 4 ports (Labadee, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and St. Maarten). Unfortunately, We have cruised with RCCL many times and have noticed some decline in the overall level of service and "complimentary" dining room food quality, choices and services. Amenities are great - something for all ages. Entertainment was excellent and there were several headliners and great bands. Ports of call were not bad. However, it was evident that St. Maarten was quite popular when at all onboard time of 4:30 pm there were hundreds of people lined up to board. MORE PORT TIME IN ST. MAARTEEN!!
The rooms are well appointed with ample storage space. Interactive TV was quite handy and useful.
Lots of pool and sun deck seating (indoors and outdoors).
