We choose this cruise to see New England and some of Canada. Anthem of the Seas is a beautiful ship. Ten of the elevators have quirky character photos on the back wall. It was a challenge to get a photo of all ten. The esplanade is beautiful with a winding staircase and a huge hanging tear drop lights that flash. You can place your hands on a stand near the light and change the pattern of the blinking lights with your pulse. This is also where all the shops and customer service is located.

We had a balcony cabin which was so nice to step out for fresh air. I love the glass doors on the showers instead of the old shower curtains which allowed water to soak the floor.The bed is very comfortable and roomy. We had a couch in our cabin and a makeup table with a small chair.

There are plenty of activities on the ship. We played a lot of trivia, rode the bumper cars, watched some cruisers surf and fly! We are older so we opted to enjoy watching. The ship has movies out by the pool every day. We got on the North Star in Cape Liberty. I recommend North Star at a port so you can see landmarks. Read more
