Anthem of the Seas
Sail date: February 17, 2024
This is my fourth cruise post Covid (NCL, MSC and RCL) and things are not back to what they used to be or maybe it's the way it's going to be. The extra charges for everything is just too much.

Not the best but not the worst
The ship is beautiful. Tasteful. Entertainment was good. Food was good. Wish some things had been explained more. For example, we had dynamic dining and getting a reservation even day one was impossible. Special activities like rip cord, etc were booked on day one.
Disembarking went very wrong. We had self walk off at 715am. When we got down there, there were over 1000 people lined up with suitcases. It was pretty chaotic and only one rccl staff there.
Forget getting a chair at the pool if you're not there by 9a.

The ports and the excursions were amazing. Alaska was everything I thought it would be. I did not have high expectations for the ship, activities, etc because that was not my focus for this vacation.
Ship was ok. Not crowded which was nice.
Food was just ok.
Entertainment was just ok.

I thought the ship was beautiful. Staff were amazing. I like going to the shows at night so was disappointed that they only had one big show.
Pool are was small for a ship that size. They really need to add a second pool area on these size ships.

If you are sailing out of a northeast port in the winter, be prepared for all 4500+ people to be inside.
Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas
Loved it but all the additional charges to go to certain areas is crazy!
Wanted a day on the ship. Other family members went out.
Have been here 4-5 times. Extremely crowded. 5 ships in port at the same time. Locals trying to sell you things was the worse I have ever seen.
