The Anthem of the seas is a beautiful modern ship its spotlessly clean and has the wow factor the dinning options are brilliant and you eat in a different restaurant every night, don't bother with the supplement restaurants, Wonderland is lovely to look at but its a rather expensive gimmick chops grille very nice but no better than the complimentary restaurants.

Also why has rci decided to put Johnny rockets outside? with no singing or dancing very disappointed. The bars and entertainment are good especially 270 the windjammer has the right name jammer it is like feeding time at the zoo crowded with not enough seats.

Overall had a good holiday went with friends and met some really nice people who enhanced our experience, BUT found the staff in the Bolaros bar very rude with no manners at all tried couple of times same treatment so was put off, staff in Michaels pub rude didn't make any eye contact when we ordered our drinks the lady in the perfume shop rude, and a few of the staff serving in the many many sales all rude, also went up to hairdressers to buy some hairspray they looked at me as if they'd never heard of it said they didn't sell it and stared at me, this ship is geared up for you to spend money at every turn, sales of rubbish and watches after watches sales bingo at %0 dollars plus most things are at an extra cost.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin E1

very nice clean and well kept by room attendant who was brilliant, narrow as usual not enough wardrobe space the bed was as hard as a rock i had to lay on the two spare quilts and our cabin was very noisy banging from the gate on the deck above went on all night ans also you can hear the toilets flushing all night as well something we've only occasionally noticed before on ships, also we were beneath the pool so when there was a bit of a swell we could hear the water rushing from side to side and going down the pipes, towels were very small
