First of all let me qualify this review by saying that the weather was absolutely terrible and that I realize there was nothing anyone could do about that.It was a bad week for temperatures so it made many things miserable if not impossible to do. Due to rough water our day at Cocoa Key was cancelled completely !
Embarkation was smooth and efficient and the ship left the port right on time.As soon as you got board you realized what a magnificent vessel the Anthem really is.Everywhere you go aboard the ship it is spectacular. No complaints there ! Our assigned main dining room was Chic however due to the slow service and the mediocre food we only ate there twice and the remainder of the time was spent at the Windjammer where the food and service was much better.Entertainment aboard the ship was good especially the headline shows such as We Will Rock You and the Gift. As far as bumper cars,roller skating,i Fly etc. unless you book way in advance ,forget about it. Lineups were huge or you simply did not stand a chance of trying them at all !
The shops onboard were a total waste of space unless you can afford to spend thousands for a high end watch or piece of jewelry.Shops were always empty and I'm not sure why they even were put on the ship at all !
Went on the airboat ride tour to see the alligators . Fairly good !
