"Long story short: Anthem of the Seas is an excellent ship with friendly staff, clean accommodations, good entertainment, and many dining options.Our cabin steward Niraj (may be misspelled) was great, though we barely saw him since he was so good at anticipating when we had left the room to come quickly make up our cabin...."Read More

Cruise is terrible. Expect to pay way more once on the cruise. Absolutely nothing included. So u pay fortune for a cruise just to be nickle and dimed the whole cruise. Says has 4 pools but really there's 2 and never open both at same time. Overcrowded is an understatement. 80$ a day for family of for cleaning fees added to your bill. Food was terrible same thing everyday. Everything closes at like ...
In short, I had a blast with my wife and two kids (1yo & 3yo). We are a bit bummed that next year Anthem will be elsewhere. We had a good enough time to book another cruise on RC next summer.
Embarkation: As expected, everything RC controlled went unbelievably smooth. The only hiccup was that there were extreme delays with releasing the previous cruise from the parking terminal in Bayonne. ...
First cruise since COVID, and second time on Anthem. Embarkation was so smooth and took the most of 5 minutes inside before walking onto the cruise ship. I really like how you can do most of the check-in online through the APP. Let me say the APP is one of the best.
Food
I enjoyed the food throughout the ship -- buffet, main dining room, doghouse, cafe 270, sorrento's and cafe promenade. ...
Very smooth boarding procedures, the food was great, the shows were good as well, a lot of activities that made the sea days very fun! My family had a great time onboard. Also not sure if the ship was at full capacity or not but we feel except waiting time on the elevators, all other lines were pretty reasonable. The best thing is the APP, we could check, book or cancel nearly everything on it ...
This was out second time on the Anthem out of Cape Liberty (Bayonne for us locals) doing the 7 day with Cococay. The first time was during Covid, so the ship was at a much lower capacity then and many shows, etc were cancelled or reduced. This trip was the full experience -- the ship was full
We are now Diamond+ and have sailed nearly all classes of ships on Royal, as well as most classes ...
This was my first experience cruising (45-year-old female) and I would recommend! I had a single person cabin with a balcony on the sixth floor. My room was very nice and I love they had an affordable balcony option for a solo traveler. I really enjoyed dinner each night in the main room. This is included in the cost of the cruise
I recommend the early 5 pm reservation for no waiting. I ...
overall a great ship and great cruise. A lot of very nice people on board and we enjoyed meeting many of them. Food in the MDR and buffet was excellent. room was clean and service was fantastic. Santiago, our room attendant, couldn't have been better. Casino needs to eliminate smoking, but made plenty of announcements advising passengers that they could only smoke if they were actively ...
We are Diamond Club status and have been on this ship 9 times.
Shows have all been the same since the ship first sailed years ago.
The show attendance was never to capacity
The stateroom was never vacuumed in the 11 night cruise and we noticed the same dirt on the floor since we first got in the cabin.
You now pay extra for I Fly and North Star which use to be free which results in ...
We cruised with family - three couples. We loved the ship - our third time on Anthem! The good things: lots of activities and things to do on the ship: pickle ball, bumper cars, roller skating! Escape Room, i Fly, and the Northstar! The entertainment is first rate: Iconic band was extraordinary - there was not one song played that did not sound like the original artist - and they have nice ...
Very disappointed, why 5 watch shops, ship not pretty as other royal ships, no good shows/entertainment, paying customers very rude, I will try different cruise line next year. Staff friendly. All shops same thing. Not enough of different things to drink. People in customs even rude. Nice and organized debarking. Casino very small and if you like quick hit games then that’s the casino for you. ...
