Lovely ship but impacted by noise and crowds

Review for a Canary Islands Cruise on Anthem of the Seas

We decided on this cruise as it was sailing to the Canary Islands from the UK. With it being just an hour flight to London for us and a short enough train journey, it was a good option at this time of year. After seamlessly boarding the ship, we were pleased with the ship overall. Nice public areas and to a high clean standard also. We checked into our cabin and liked the decor and layout. ...

Cleaning of rooms only once a day. You can choose either in the morning or in the evening. Very poor desserts, both in the buffet and in the restaurant on the 3rd floor. We tried breakfast at the restaurant on the 4th floor. We won't do it anymore. There was a very small selection of food. Price of drinks includes service charge. The quality of the food, not like in the past. At ...

First thing to say is we have been taking cruises for over 25 years and have sailed on Holland America, Oceania, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean. Chose this cruise as it sailed from Southampton and went to stops we had not tried before. Embarkation and debarkation was very quick and efficient and that was where it stops. The ship always felt crowded and there were never enough sun beds on deck ...

We excitingly embarked on this two week sailing for what we hoped would be a nice way to relax and unwind - how very wrong we were. When we first arrived we had high hopes as we had cruised on the Anthem twice before and had a great experience. The main issue was the many teenagers running up and down the hallways and banging on doors and walls, being rude and intimidating to other guests and crew ...

We were only on Anthem 9 months ago. It was fabulous in every way. But I am sorry to say that now OMG! It's not good at all. Food was poor even in Chop's Grill , they try to palm you off with stale doughnuts instead of pastries in main dinning breakfast , they was very limited drinks availability, no single malt! and the hygiene standards are slipping , entertainment (quiz's) were in small ...

I've been an RCCL cruiser for 20 years and have been on about 18 cruises. My very first cruise was on 9/11 and I was blown away by their responsiveness, communication and generosity of letting all passengers make free ship-to-shore calls to check on loved one back home. I've never had one of those "sick cruises" (but I do sanitize my hands as suggested) and my cruises have generally been really ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I saw this cruise on TV Cruise 1st channel and booked for the transatlantic voyage to the Caribbean. The fact that it was due to visit Islands that I had previously been to in my teens when I was a young seafarer sailing on cargo ships, before everything went in containers, it was to be a nostalgic voyage as well as my first cruise. Needless to say myself and travel partner arrived at ...

A real eye opener as to how Royal Caribbean views its UK customers

This review isn't so much about the ship. More about the way Royal Caribbean went about showing how little they care about their British customers. We found out a few days before leaving that this trip was going to be cut short by 3 days, supposedly because of bad weather. A strange excuse because when you book a cruise, you are told that these ships are so large that they can handle any ...

The ship was nice, people were great. Dining room dinner menu disappointed and we ate in the windjammer most nights. When we did eat in the dining room, it was good. The ship was on the small side, but it doesn't need to be bigger with ports so close together and one cruise day. First port, Hamburg Germany on a Sunday. All stores are closed on Sundays, forget shopping. Are you serious ...

We are C&A members, and we've sailed with RC over 10 times. So by no means we are "rookies". Granted this was a charter cruise, but we expected the service to be RC quality. Boy were we wrong. There is an extreme lack of personnel in the general public area. Starting with the Windjammer, the food was mediocre at its best. There were no personnel going around tables to offer drinks from the bar. ...
