Review summary

Anthem of the Sea is a great ship if you like large ships that have lots of activities and entertainment options. As a brand new ship with a new dining option, there is an issue that restaurants are obligated to folks making reservations even if they dis not show up while others on the new dynamic dining option cannot make a reservation or wait for a table. For a short itinerary, folks could be upset since they would not be able to try out these restaurants. Hopefully, RCI will fix it in the near future. Other than that, we had a great time.

Ship tip

- need to fix the dining reservation system although the staffs, who do not create the problem, were trying very hard to please the passengers. - need to prohibit (electronic cigarette) smoking and reinforce the smoking rules in public areas and balcony.
