First cruise on Anthem sized ship, We normally prefer the Jewel of the Seas or similar.
Embarkation was an absolute breeze. On the ship within 10 minutes. Well done RCI. If only the debarkation was anywhere near to satisfactory. More about that later.
Cabins were available at 1pm as advised. We had a D5 on Deck 9 near the front and it was excellent. The room attendant, Maali was very thorough. He had 17 cabins to look after with no assistance. Just one of many cutbacks we noticed over the term of the cruise.
