It is a shame to rate the review 2 Stars when it could have easily been 5 Stars, however for the Strictly Kosher traveler the kosher food was at best marginal, and most times third world. I n all fairness if you are not a kosher traveler then this trip would be fantastic. The ship is hugh, modern, clean, and very exciting shows and entertainment...but if your a kosher traveler you 're going to ...
Overall cruise was good. Ship is very elegant n beautiful, entertainment good, lots to do like bumper cars, North star skating assimulator and much more. Food was just ok for us. Service not so great. Shopping was good n enjoyed all ports. Great experience-glad we did it-not worried about going again. (n we r advid cruisers-atleast 3 ayr) balcony cabin was nice with good storage cabinets . ...
Ship is ultra modern and very high tech, however, you are getting less and less for your money.
Stateroom very nice, but the balcony was obstructed yet the cost was there.
Stateroom attendant was extremely friendly, helpful and very courtious.
Restaurants are plentiful on this ship with a handful that you don't have to pay for, but no formal dining room for the complimentary restaurants, ...
This was our annual Family Cruise. It was chosen due to length (12-nights), departure port (Cape Liberty, Bayonne, NJ - close to most Family Members), and the variety of Ports-of-Call (for our party of 10, out of the six ports of call, there was at least one port that a member had not visited previously, if not more). The fact that most had not sailed on the Anthem of the Seas was an added ...
I and my cruise gang just got off of a 12 day cruise and it was fantastic. Overall, the ship is great. The cabins are first-rate. The staff are above average and the captain is the most visible and sociable of any that we've sailed with. I think that if I were take one star away, it would be for the food. It was good, but did not measure up to some of the other RCI ships. However, ...

I have thought long and hard about writing this review (which is why it's taken me so long) and with that in mind here it goes.
After previously cruising with RCI on Oasis, Allure (twice) - which were fantastic and Legend (well that's a story for another time), we had high expectations of cruising on Anthem.
We are from Australia and generally P&O Australia cruisers, so this was 18 months in ...
The embarkation and disembarkation was extremely organized.
Ship: Very clean and well maintained.
Cabin: The cleanness was exceptional.
Dining: Outstand food and service.
Entertainment: Was New York theater quality
Ports and Shore excursions: Very well organized and planned out to make our day very enjoyable. Since we live in New Jersey it was very easy to travel to Port ...
Background: I traveled with my Mother, Husband and Daughter (16) for this cruise. My husband and I are in our 30's. My family has done about 5 cruises (NCL and RCCL). We drove down from Canada the Day prior and stayed at the Homewood Suites in Newark. Hotel was nice was about a 20 minute drive to the pier. We like the Homewood suites there is a separate closed off bedroom for my mom and we ...
My boyfriend and I are in our mid and late 20s that share a love for cruising. We book a cruise at least once and year and have been devout Royal Caribbean fans, but unfortunately this cruise has caused us to second guess our decision. The quality of the food has decreased incredibly, we were absolutely disappointed from start to finish. From the moment I walked onto the ship and had my first meal ...
