my first ever cruise 2/3/19 12 night to the southern carribbean...my fiancee and myself, stephen had been on many before again this was my first cruise...i was in awe of how wonderful everything was....first impression so clean...then every crew member we/I encountered was helpful warm and could not do enough (yes i had broken my are 2 weeks prior to sailing and it was not going to stop me) but i truly believe the crew would have been wonderful either way...the food in the main dining room, windjammer, and all the other venues were superb (i am not a foodie)...the show we will rock you sooo good...in the pub brass n brock the acoustic guitarist was the best...(along with the fried pickles)...the pool and hot area at times a little crowded but crew and bartenders were on point keeping the area well maintained and my glass full :)...the islands we stop were fun we really chose this cruise for the length and warm weather...a big plus was also the ship was at cape liberty which is only about and hour from our home...and while this review is about the anthem of the seas...cape liberty is well run...i was so happy with this sailing that i book another cruise for 11/16/19...unfortunately i will be cruising solo has my fiancee past away suddenly after we returned home...if you have a chance do not pass up a cruise on this ship...
