Review summary

WE HAD A RELAXING AND FUN CRUISE. WE LOVED THE MODERN LOOK OF THE SHIP AND THE BEAUTIFUL BALCONY STATEROOM. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED BY THE CLEANLINESS, OUR ROOM WAS IMMACULATE! THE DINING ROOMS AND FOOD WERE DELICIOUS. WE LOVED RELAXING IN THE SOLARIUM AND THE POOL BAR HAD GREAT DRINKS. THE STAFF EVERYWHERE WERE ALWAYS FRIENDLY. ONLY DOWN SIDE WAS THE ROUGH WATER WHICH MADE THE SHIP REALLY ROCK ALOT.

OUR CABIN WAS CLEAN AND MODERN. VERY COMFORTABLE BED AND BEDDING . BATHROOM WAS NICE SIZE AND CLEAN! THE TV WAS EASY TO USE AND HELPFUL IN GETTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE SHIP AND ACTIVITIES.

WE HAD TABLE BY THE WINDOW FOR OUR DINNER MEALS AND THAT WAS A DELITEFUL EXPERIENCE. LOVED SEEING THE WAVES AND SUNSET.

When do you make your choice between classic and choice?

Just got off Anthem yesterday. Was on a 12 nt cruise. The menus in all the complementary restaurants are different. They also change during the cruise between an A and a B version in each. This happens regardless of whether you select classic (rotational w 2 seatings) or Dynamic choice where you select and reserve restaurant and time.

We got off the Anthemthis morning and had a very nice cruise. Lovely staff.Nothing to complain about. If you want to hear a creaking ship you should try the Dawn Princess, sounds like a sailship from the 1700s. 😀

Did you like the food? Was there ones that were better than another. I love dressing up for dinner. So the Grand will be nice.

We alternated between the 4 complimentary restaurants. If you go to The Grande restaurant you have to dress formal every night, not the other 3 restaurants.

Should I go to the specialty restaurants or eat in the dining rooms?

Well I just got off the ship this morning and the ship hardly rocked since I was on it. The first 2 days were not that bad that you had to hold on to something to walk. The ship is cleaner than most hospitals. Could hardly go anywhere on the ship without seeing the staff washing everything and had to wash our hands all the time before entering the room to eat. Good job on that RC.

The only rough water they hit was on the way out, the first few days. Coming back, since leaving Cozumel, it's been smooth sailing.

Yes, If you look hard enough you will always find something to complain about.
