1-10 of 75 Europe Anthem of the Seas Europe Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise as we are Diamond Class on Royal Caribbean and so far they have never disappointed. We wanted to try this ship as the only RCI Southampton based and needed to sample before commiting to other sailings. For us this ship is too big and even though it was not a School break there were 500 children on board. We had a balcony but also a young family either side, when they were ...
Cleaning of rooms only once a day.
You can choose either in the morning or in the evening.
Very poor desserts, both in the buffet and in the restaurant on the 3rd floor.
We tried breakfast at the restaurant on the 4th floor. We won't do it anymore.
There was very small selection of food.
Price of drinks includes service charge.
The quality of the food, not like in the past.

We booked this cruise in part to celebrate a 50th birthday and because the previous two we'd tried were cancelled due to COVID (more of that later).
This was the third cruise with RCCL, having sailed on Independence in 2016 and Explorer in 2019. We adored Indie, everything about that cruise was incredible, and couldn't fault a thing, Explorer was also great, albeit being a slightly older ship ...
We booked this cruise as we have wanted to visit a bit more of Spain plus Islands. This cruise only went in August. We were quite satisfied with the ship although looking out from our balcony in the middle deck 9 the lifeboats got in the way. We had what seemed to be a very noisy cabin. Metal banging and scaping that went on for hours from 11pm to 4 am every night we only got about two hours sleep ...
We sailed on Anthem from Southampton in July 2023 for 14 nights around the western Mediterranean - predominantly Spain but we did have two days in Lisbon (Portugal).
Embarkation in Southampton was pretty sleek and quick as it normally was and it as also nice not to have to go through the additional Covid requirements that we needed to do the last time we cruised as a family. First impressions ...
We chose this cruise because we have sailed with Royal Caribbean several times before and had taken a break and tried MSC and P & O. However, for various reasons we did not want to go back to them so we went back to Royal Caribbean.
We went for our Foster daughters 18th birthday. I have to say I was really looking forward to this as i (Mistakenly it turns out) The biggest ship we had been on ...
This was a 12-nighter to the Canaries, including Vigo Spain and Lisbon, Portugal. GREAT CRUISE overall!
Cabin - A standard balcony located on a hump end where the balcony had an angle, giving more space. Cabin Very clean. Great cabin steward, outwardly friendly, very efficient.
Dining - Massive improvements, bravo to RCL on this. Fantastic menu and meal choices from the last time we sailed ...
Boat still in good condition, cabin was nice. MDR food was variable. Desserts on the whole were ok but the starters and main were usually luke warm when they arrived. Food was dry, not enough sauce or gravy so had to ask for extra. Lots of items removed from the menu, ie cheese and biscuits, melon medley. Waiter was friendly enough but had little personality, assistant waiter was great. ...
I am a regular cruiser (Diamond RCL, Platinum Cunard, Elite Celebrity) but this was my first 2 night/3 day cruise, and first time on Anthem of the Seas. This had much more of a "booze cruise" atmosphere and demographic than a longer cruise. There were lots of hen parties, birthday celebrations and children. I had a single balcony stateroom on deck 6 which was perfectly adequate for the two nights ...
Birthday treat for my grandsons aged 10 & 3
The corridor’s on the ship are wide and spacious, not like other cruise ship where they are narrow difficult for pushchairs/wheelchairs
Amazing ship with plenty to do for the older children but be prepared to queue
Plenty of swimming pools life guards are amazing
Food was good plenty of choice, beware Johnny R u have to pay
We only used ...
