The Anthem of the Seas, has its pros and it cons. Would I cruise on it again? Sure! I have learned the pros and the cons of it. And in comparison to the ships (Royal Caribbean and Carnival) that I have sailed on in the past, the pros are enough to bring me back. Plus, hopefully by the second go around I will know which direction to go to find everything again! Different itinerary though!
I did read cruise critics postings prior to my December 2015 cruise and it was very helpful to me (the good and the bad). So for future cruisers, I have compiled a pretty detailed list of pros and cons, as well as my personal experiences (ranging from dining experiences to activities) that may provide you with insight to make your trip as fun, pleasurable and memorable as possible. Please read below.
PROS
Very nice forward cabin on the 8th floor. However, be careful of your head when looking out the window if you have an ocean view cabin. The window is on a slant.
This company had a booth outside of the cruise port and would take you to area stores like Walmart, Mall and surrounding stores
Did not take an cruise arranged excursion because I have been to Nassau a couple of times. Just walked off the ship around the center part of town.
