Review summary

The ship is beautiful and easy to navigate, food is mediocre compared to prior sailings on Royal Caribbean, specialty restaurants worth the spend, Wonderland was excellent! Very dissapointed with activities on board, you need to be one of the first to make reservations for iFly, Northstar, roller skating, bumper cars or you will not get a chance...ship holds more than 4000 passengers and cannot accommodate all for these activities...they should not advertise like they do for these activities since you are not guaranteed a chance to try it!! I actually had made reservations, which they told me between 2-3, got there at 2:30, the cocky staff told me it was too late as he was looking at his phone and the other staff member on the floor doing sit ups...ridiculous!! Loved the show, But again, need to make reservations or you may not get chance to see it.

I was on this ship in Feb and I did not need reservations for rollerskating or bumper cars. The 1st day we went on northstar without a reservation but we had a reservation for another day.

THEREFORE ...AS I SAID... it has a NEARLY 80% likability rating on THIS APP. Instead of worrying bout that diamond status, you should worry about looking stupid on a public forum.

I said I wasn't going to respond back to you. But clearly you just tried to insult my intelligence. I know you want to tout your diamond RCCL status as if that means anything other than the fact that you gave RCCL a lot of your money. But here's BASIC math for you. The HIGHEST rating is 5 and AOS has a 3.9 average rating. 3.9 divided by 5 is 78% "genius"!

I'm now done responding to your pointless statements. You are at the point of making ZERO sense in your "argument". Have a great day.

No I do not work for Royal Caribbean. And, what does that even have to do with the FACT that on THIS APP out 370+ reviews ANTHEM OF THE SEAS has nearly an 80% approval rating. Explain that! Again. It is ok to dislike the Quantum Class ships. But you're not God's gift to cruising and your diamond status on RCCL does NOT make you the voice for RC customers.

You love posting those false numbers as if they are based on fact. The FACT of the matter is that on THIS APP ...out of 5 possible stars the Anthem of the Seas has 3.9 Stars and that sir is nearly 80%. It's ok to not like the Quantum Class but DO NOT spread false information.

(cont'd) ...did the SLIGHTEST bit of research, you would have know that you were encouraged to make reservations prior to sailing. Royal Caribbean has done an awesome job keeping guest updated with how the quantum class ships work.

Like hapster85 my reservations also gave an EXACT time. A time which was displayed on my stateroom tv calendar, my royal IQ calendar and my cruise documents that I received prior to boarding. So how did you get an "approximate" time. And it still amazes me that folks complain about having to make reservations for attractions onboard. I am not trying to criticize you, but if you did even (more)
