just came back from a fantastic holiday aboard the Anthem of The Seas. This ship has everything you could possibly want out of a holiday whether you want it relaxing, exciting or educational. this is our second time cruising as we sailed on the independence of the seas last year, and this ship did not disappoint. Unfortunately this ship is going to be based in America in 6 weeks time. Anthem had ...
The poor reviews really worried us in advance, but we should have totally ignored them!! We had a fabulous family holiday! What's not to love about this amazing ship, launched in April at a cost of 1.6 billion? Embarkation was super efficient with scores of friendly staff waiting to greet us warmly, armed with Ipads, luggage was taken immediately and arrived safely and quickly in our ...
Our experience bore no resemblance to some of the reviews we read before we sailed. Check in was done on a tablet and we were on board in minutes.The ship is stunning and beautifully designed. The food in all areas was excellent and dynamic dining worked well. We booked all the restaurants in advance and enjoyed them all so didn't bother with any of the speciality restaurants. Service was ...
I must say after reading months of reviews leading up to our September cruise I was a little concerned ....... I needn't have worried as this is a fantastic ship.
Embarkation was a dream. From being dropped off at the Terminal, handing over our luggage and quick check in via iPad we were walking on the ship in less than 15 mins. We then walked straight up to one of the many drinks package ...
I (we) knew what we wanted in a new ship experience and the Anthem of the Seas exceeded our expectations. We enjoy "new" and "different," as opposed to a more traditional sailing (which we also enjoy, but that's not what we were going for on Anthem). We loved everything about the ship. It was beautiful, fun, even exciting, with the IFly, bumper cars, North Star, etc. and we never had a dull ...
I love this ship. Whilst others don't like the big ships, we found Anthem to be great if you wanted to find a seat! As the decks are all huge, there are lots of little places to sit, most bars are very spacious. I remarked to my wife, where do they hide all the people?
On the way back through the Bay of Biscay (or Biscuits as most people call it), we hit a storm. Because the ship is so big, we ...
From start to finish every second of the cruise was amazing. The technology brilliant, from spectacular shows, robot bars, and WOW bands (wrist bands which you used electronically to pay for items, get in and out of your stateroom). As a wheelchair user the whole ship was accessible! All staff were so attentive to detail, polite and respectful (which is more than can be said about an American ...
Having sailed on the Quantum 8 day inaugural last year, which was the worst cruise out of 75 i have ever been on, it was with much hesitation that we agreed to share a loft suite (10722) with friends. Normally, my wife and I book inside cabins. From the start, our experience boarding was excellent and all the technology functioned like it should. Once on board, the staff was warm and friendly ...
My wife and I were approaching our 30th wedding anniversary so we (I) decided we would have our first holiday in 25 years without the 'bread snappers'. I booked the Anthem of the Seas based on a recommendation from a good friend who had cruised many times before and was on this ship in July.
We were not disappointed. Our first sight of the ship was when we flew over it en route into Southampton ...
On behalf of my husband and I, I would like to say a huge thank you to every single member of staff on board the anthem of the seas for making our honeymoon so special. It is the first time that either of us have cruised and after our fantastic experience it won't be our last. After reading quite a few negative reviews prior to sailing we were very anxious about what our experience would be like. ...
