While we found the Anthem of the Seas to be to large for our liking, we found ourselves thinking we should have brought the whole family. This ship has so may wonderful things that can be done with all the grand children. I was unfortunate for us our cruise was cut short due to weather or illnesses depending on who you want to believe (didn't matter/doesn't matter) we are grateful to the Captain and crew for doing all they could to make the cruise enjoyable. Balcony was great!
We did not like the dinning we had at all, having to check our calendar everyday to see what time we were scheduled to eat and having a different waiter every night really took it's toll on us. While I know others had the same waiters who moved from restaurant to restaurant we did not. We prefer the same time and same staff each night.
The fitness equipment on this ship is really cheap, RCl made a bad decision to go with such inferior equipment. Most of all the other RCL ships have way better equipment. We did not do any shore excursions. The Shows were excellent!
We love this place!
I am sorry this Island is not for us. It is just a cash cow and to us not worth the price of admission.
