The excursions were fun and affordable. The ship's staff were friendly and seemed to work hard, however they seemed tense around the management. The tension gave a cold feeling to the cruisers. Room was nicely laid out, we had a balcony room. The room steward was wonderful. We didn't expect so many kids in January since there wasn't much for them to do, but there were many kids. The teenagers ...
INTRODUCTION: I am 76 years old and my wife is 73. She is still able to use fitness machines and walk considerable distances while I am limited in physical activities and always walk with a cane. That being said, our main enjoyment on a cruise comes from the availability of fine dining, musical and other “passive” entertainment and use of the pool facilities.
We also enjoy touring places that ...
We chose this cruise as we had been on trips last year on both Cunard and NCL and wanted to try something different. Overall, the ship was lovely, but the quality of the food left a lot to be desired.
The Anthem is a great ship if you want to be entertained. There is lots to do and the shows we saw were all amazing. We also did the escape room, bumber cars and i-fly activities, which you can ...
This was our first cruise in 4 years & we had a wonderful time. It was our 3rd time on Anthem of the Seas. Our 19 year old son loves all the sports fun in the Seaplex, we liked the North Star experience, the shows, service, etc. Boarding the ship was done very efficiently. We had a balcony room that was really nice.
The food choices have really been cut back, especially for the gluten free ...
Went for a New Years cruise with extended family. Chose this ship because it included New Year in its intinary. First impressions were pretty good , but everything on thr ship is so expensive and the service just doesnt match other cruise lines. I upgraded to a Junior Suite but didnt get te cabin dservice I expected. I tipped early thinking that I would receive a good cabin service but found this ...
Horrible experience. If you have food allergies avoid this cruise line. We reported my daughter nuts allergies and they served food with hidden nuts in it!’n She had allergic reaction and had to go to medical facilities. Also the wait time in the main dining room is about 40 minutes to just be sitted at the table. Also I noticed they served unwashed strawberries in the buffet!!! Food in buffet is ...
We are a senior couple in our late 70s who have mostly cruised Celebrity over the past years. Have also cruised HAL, and earlier Princess, NCL and Carnival. we are Elite Plus on Celebrity. this year we decided to try RCL Anthem of Seas as we could sail from Bayonne NJ and also have a lot of celebrity perks that carry over RCL.
Have never been on a boat this large or with so many people . ...
My family and I had a great experience on Anthem of the Seas. Everything went so smoothly. The check in process was a breeze and boarding the ship went incredibly fast. The experience was the same when we departed. I didn’t expect it to be that easy! We had a wonderful stateroom attendant as well as waiters in the main dining area. The food was so wonderful and there are so many options!! One of ...
Had not been cruising for quite some time. Things have changed a lot. Some for the worse, most for the better. Traveled in a solo cabin and despite my hesitation, the accommodation was comfortable and roomy. Over the seven days I enjoyed the entertainment, hospitality and activities aboard ship. The Perfect Day on the private island was also restful and pleasant. I would especially recommend ...
This was our 18th cruise on many different lines (Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, NCL and Princess) and we wanted to try a bigger class ship on Royal.
We flew from Ottawa, Ontario to Newark airport the day before the cruise and stayed at a nice B&B in Staten Island. Took the ferry back and forth to Manhattan to see the sights which never gets old!
Embarkation –This was the ...
