Review summary

The favorite part of the cruise was the crew in all capacities.  Servers, restaurant staff, stateroom staff, bartenders, etc. Everyone was quite courteous and helpful. We enjoyed the amenities, but did not appreciate the long lines to use them.  It wasn't as much fun when you waited 45 minutes in line for a few minutes of fun. I didn't like the Dynamic Dining.  It was frustrating to make reservations. I would prefer My Time Dining with either a late or early seating.  Also, you never got the same waiters even when you asked for them because they were already handling other tables.  Availability of food when Windjammer and other restaurants close for an hour or so before dinner and close early at night left something to be desired.  Not like the days of yesterday when the choices were plenty even in the nighttime. All and all just the making of reservations for shows, activities, dinner rather frustrating. All in all we managed to have an enjoyed trip.

Haha My TA knew nothing about online reservations hence I do not have desirable times and hope to make changes when on board or I'll be eating at CafeTWO70 or Windjammer.

Thanks for your comments. I will be cruising Anthem in November. Have read many negative reviews on courtesy and quality of crew. So am very encouraged by your positive comments on the crew. On your next cruise make reservations online as soon as the reservation window opens. Also, you or your TA can set up your dining plan when you make you reservation. Should help reduce time waiting in line. Glad to note that overall you enjoyed your cruise and gave your experience a 4 star rating.
