I normally don’t write reviews, but I feel that my review might help other families make a better decision when chosen a vacation. Especially those whom value the health and the well-being of their families and loved ones. Some readers may find my review absurd and exaggerated but everything I will be mentioning in this review is true. We’re very easy-going people and not at all picky or complainers but this horrible experience is what prompted me to write this review. Please read it to the end and see the attached photos.

We’ve been cruising and traveling for the past 20 years with many different cruise ship companies. The Anthem of the Seas was our 8th cruise with Royal Caribbean and most likely will be our last cruise with RC. Our first cruise with Royal Caribbean was onboard the Explorer of the Seas when it was a brand-new ship back in the early 2000’s. The difference between my first and last cruise with RC is like night and day! Royal Caribbean’s quality control, housekeeping, guest relations and overall services have dropped drastically over the past few years since our first cruise with them.

Port Reviews

Bayonne (Cape Liberty)

The overall experience at Cape Liberty was good although some of the staff are very rude. What a way to start your vacation! One of the staff members (some old miserable lady) yelled at my 4 year old son who was terrified afterwards because he went under the robe that separates areas!!! Big deal lady! He is a toddler for crying out loud!

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

We were awakened at 3 am in the morning with sounding emergency alarms and the captain informing us that someone had fell in the ocean. The entire cruise ship was evacuated when we got to Port Canaveral in the morning.

All passengers wasted over 4 hours of their vacation and life time sitting in the port terminal doing absolutely nothing. Not even an apology was giving for the madness.

We were later told that it was a false alarm.

Nassau

We love the Bahamas and had a great time there. But no credit should be giving to RC.
