We chose Royal Caribean because we have cruised with them before and have always been happy. The Anthem of the Seas is a huge ship with many, many people. The ship was very clean and the rooms were very nice, but the personal touches just were not there. Our clothes arrived in our room soaked through the entire suitcase and it took 30 hours to get them returned to us. The My Time Dining is very confusing though the food was very good. The excursions were excellent and well monitored.The onboard activities were varied, but because of the vast number of people on the ship you really couldn't participate in any of them. We had no idea you needed reservations for some of these things weeks in advance.The staff was as helpful as they could be with trying to get us in the activities we wanted. The service in the dining rooms was fantastic!
