We had been on Anthem once before, last year to Bermuda, so we were excited to embark on a new itinerary with a ship that we now had knowledge of. Last time we didn't get to do the Ripcord experience so we were very excited for it and it was so much fun. We also didn't get to do any of the specialty restaurants last time and took advantage of a three restaurant deal this time. Chops grille was solid, with a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon. Wonderland was a really neat experience with more food than I could probably eat in two sittings. Finally, Jamies Italian was tremendous. The lamb chops were phenomenal and washing everything down with some limoncello at the end was a perfect way to cap off the meal. As a suite guest we were allowed to dine in Coastal Kitchen. I had seen the reviews ahead of time and they weren't that great. I have to believe since it's located next to the Windjammer buffet that people got these two confused. The food and service were absolutely fantastic. The only knock was the occasional noise coming from the deck above.

The activities and entertainment schedule are so immense there's never nothing to do. Spectra's caberet is the most unique show I've seen with the robotic video screens, acrobats and great singing acts. We did the Northstar in port at Canaveral and there was a thunderstorm nearby. It was really neat to see looking out. We saw We Will Rock You and the Gift on the last trip. We Will Rock You is awesome, especially if you like Queen music. The Gift was not that great, we just didn't get it but maybe that was the drink package taking its toll. As a suite guest we were invited to a bridge tour and it was really neat to see all of the controls and technology that runs the ship.

Our cabin was very nice, our first time in a suite. It was nice having some extra room and a divide between a living space and bedroom. Also having a bathroom that easily fit the both of us with two sinks made it so much easier to get to our planned activities on time. Read more
