We chose this cruise because it was in January and a drivable port (13hrs) and also because it was a newer ship.
Anthem definitely met our expectations but did not exceed them. That being said we will be booking again next year at this time.
Pros: driveable port, newer big ship that is in good shape. The ship was sold out and you only ever noticed the people on the esplanade, windjammer and the dining room. But even then it was not unbearable. We even found ourselves wondering, where is everyone? Solarium bistro was a great find. Great food and a very nice place to meet people for dinner. All the staff is kind and courteous. Embarkation was a breeze!
Great cabin. Balcony was very deep. Great fo getting out of the direct sun. Cabin has everything you need. Plenty of space for 2-3 people
