Review summary

The six of us enjoyed the cruise very much. Loved the IFly and North Star and We Will Rock You. Our only problem came when there was a medical issue in the solarium pool and for several hours we were not able to retrieve our belongings (Seaboard pass, phones, eyeglasses, books, clothing, sunglasses, etc.) and the use of the pool. When we went to the other pool, the belly flop contest evacuated all the guests so we were incapacitated for several hours.

Loved We Will Rock You. The Gift and Spectras Cabaret were too techno savvy for our tastes.

Children's Programs

Lines were too long for rock climbing and bumper cars and roller skating so couldn't use.

To avoid waiting on lines, book your shows and dinner times in advance (which we did).

We went to caves, Horseshoe Beach and Snorkel Beach. Segway tour was a much easier way to tour. Next time will swim from the Pirate Ship/Bar.

what exactly didn't u like data -I was on anthem in July & seriously thinking about taking this 9 day cruise as I felt 5 days was not enough time -think I missed out on a lot -didn't get chance to explore every nick & cranny of the ship & Bermuda was the only port -what ports did u go to -

I have mixed reviews. Just back from 9 day cruise on anthem. I feel since everyone is different you can't really go by comments. You have to experience it for yourself and make your own judgement. Prior cruise we took was on Norwegian epic. We loved it as our first cruise and love it even more now compared to our experience on rcl anthem but I'm sure others feel the oposite .

Sue, we sailed Anthem in April and are set again in October. The ship was beautiful but I have to say, the service was definitely NOT what I've experienced on the other ships in the fleet. We ARE doing it again because vacation is what you make of it. Glad you had a great time. I am reading reviews praising the service. Maybe RC took comments into consideration and positive changes had taken effect.

Just got off anthem today. I just want to say to all those negative people out there, you have no idea how to have good time. This was the best cruise we have had. The only thing I suggest is NOT listening to negative reviews and have wonderful time like we did.

That ship is sure surrounded by a black cloud of negativity.

I also would not use the word "Incapacitated " Bad choice of words. We were on the 6/30 cruise where a young child drowned. Don't think that anyone considered it an inconvenience
