1-10 of 19 Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to Europe - British Isles & Western from Southampton
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 ...
This was supposed to be canaries but was just Belfast and Liverpool.
This junior suite cabin is directly above the ladies public toilets on deck 5 so if you like to sleep before 2 or 3am don’t book this one.
All I could hear was toilets flushing continuously. Once people eventually went to bed I had the sound of a toilet filling up with water sloshing about until 8 or 9am! Guest services ...
As our trip to Florida got cancelled again and I didn't want to fly due to all the tests and paperwork involved we did this 7 night uk trip. My son and I had a great time from bumper car driving to iflying. Great modern ship (have done other Royal Caribbean ships but smaller ones). No sea sickness even though I'm generally a bad traveller and it was a bit rocky at times so I put that down to ...
I've been an RCCL cruiser for 20 years and have been on about 18 cruises. My very first cruise was on 9/11 and I was blown away by their responsiveness, communication and generosity of letting all passengers make free ship-to-shore calls to check on loved one back home. I've never had one of those "sick cruises" (but I do sanitize my hands as suggested) and my cruises have generally been really ...
This review is based on two sailings I did. One on 19 September and the other on 20 October. On the first sailing there was only 800 on the ship and good social distancing. Entertainment was fantastic, full size musical, rat pack and Jersey Boys shows, also Beatles tribute.
Liverpool stop. No need to do trips. British Music experience is based in Cunard building, 3-4 minutes from where ...
I chose this cruise because it required double vaccination for all guests over 18, PCR tests before departure, mask wearing and reduced capacity. I found the systems in place very reassuring and felt safe being onboard a ship with 1600 other guests, despite mostly staying away from crowds for the last 16 months. The new style muster 2.0 on phones is a massive improvement and reduced the need to ...
Scratch underneath the "gimmicky" plush exterior and this is a cruise ship and cruise liner with some fundamental flaws.
It is a plush cruise ship with some great entertainment options and technological advances but it becomes very thinly spread when the ship packs in over 4000 passengers all wanting to get the opportunity to take a ride in the north star, skydive or put on some roller skates ...
Thought we'd give this a go after a free lunch and tour earlier in year.
Bad bits: -
1. Despite reports, check-in not speedy.
2. Welcome aboard all rather low key and nobody told the new arrivals that the cabins were not available 'til 13.30. Result - people milling about all over the place seemingly mesmerised (more mesmerising to come).
3. Little or no table service. "Vintages" for ...
Had booked this short cruise to be with friends to celebrate a 60th birthday. Had a lovely time as was with such good company.
The ship for me was the least likeable vessel I have been on so far. If you like technology and gimmicks you will probably be fine. I suppose RC are aiming at a new type of customer that traditionally hasn't chosen to cruise.
Its big but they seem to have fewer staff ...
We are retired in our mid 60s and travel 3-4 time per year - cruising only every other year. This is our first cruise on RCL but have cruised a couple times on RCL's sister line Celebrity. We found the ship to be very nice, comfortable stateroom with a roomy balcony. The various bars and lounges were also nice but overly crowded when entertainment was playing. Service was poor at the bars and ...
