Review summary

The Anthem of the Seas is a BEAUTIFUL ship; rooms are very spacious.

DYNAMIC DINING is TERRIBLE!  Classis Dining (wait staff travels with you) is better but still not the same as the "TRADITIONAL DINING". There are no set FORMAL nights.  The quality and variety of foods is lacking on this ship. Staff is not as friendly or accommodating as staff on other Royal Carribbean ships. Also, VERY limited seating around the outside pool and pool was "cloudy" on numerous days.
