First off Anthem was absolutely beautiful, everywhere I looked there was something amazing to see. I didn't particularly enjoy this cruise as much as others, mainly because I didn't think they had enough activities going on. Considering this was a showcase 3 night sampler I thought day entertainment was poor. This could also be due to me knowing what the usual entertainment is.
Did the North Star as soon as they opened it at Southampton nice gimmick. We didn't manage to do roller booting as every-time we went were were told it was full, this was getting there as early as 15 minuets into the start. Eventually managed to get on the bumper cars on the last night. I really wanted to try Puzzle break but couldn't see this listed, went by a number of times and nobody was there until the last evening when the sign was out but the door was locked.
I felt everybody wanted to do everything which was totally understandable but I don't think they put the activities on enough for the demand.
Larger than most cabins as this was situated at the very front of the ship, it had a huge round window that gave great views
Embarkation was very quick and easy
Didnt get the ship here
Took the free shuttle bus to the shopping centre. They dont give any information on board regarding the free shuttle bus, it has two stops one into the town the other to the shopping centre, it's not a big centre but was nice to get of the ship and have a walk around
