Anthem of the Seas Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We live in Boston and the idea of cruising to warmer seas in winter without getting on a plane appealed to us; friends have been cruising out of NJ for a few years and we decided to join them. I'm glad we weren't on a really big ship, but this one is big enough. The decor and layout are beautiful and once you get a bearing of where you are on the ship, it's easy to get around; they really turned up the deliciousness with desserts; they now have pies! One of the only downsides to this trip was trying to find a deck chair in the enclosed solarium (adults only) because you are cruising in cold weather for up to 4 days (2 down and 2 back). Even though there are signs saying no reserving deck chairs and items will be removed in 30 minutes if no one is in the chair, this was rarely enforced. I found myself getting up early to get there to find a chair.
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Love the new layout; so much more storage space with the TV now a flat screen on the wall; cabinets around the bed provide alot of storage; the extra dresser is a bonus; also love the new layout of the bathroom, even though the footprint takes up less space in the cabin, it seems roomier.
Port Reviews
Nassau
read about The Pirate Museum in a book written by someone who used to work with Royal Caribbean. So glad we checked it out. It's not heavily advertised, but it gives you a great sense of what life was like in the early 1700's in Nassau.
Bayonne (Cape Liberty)
nothing to report; sailed from here; parking garage is very convenient
