Review summary

We had a great time!  The ship is magnificent- so clean and new.  The staff we met were all very helpful.  Overall, the experience was just better than any other cruise we have taken.  The ports are good, enjoyable.  I would not get off the boat in St John's though- there isn't much to do there.  Also, don't fall for the Traditional Maine Lobster Bake.  That tour is terrible and horribly overpriced for what you get.  (the one with the narrow gauge railroad/lobster bake).

Otherwise, everything was great!

Cabin was so clean and roomy (for a shipboard cabin!).

Ship tip

Make all of your dining/excursion/entertainment appointments before you get on the ship. You will save yourself the headache of standing in lines all day the first day. It's fast online but slooooooow on the ship!

When we went on the Anthem we had a steward called Michael. We told him that he was the world champion towel animal maker as he made the best ones ever. He even created a few new ones for us. Had a great time with him taking care of us.

I think you had great weather too, right? We live outside of Portland and drove down to see the Anthem in port - a great looking ship. We'll be on her in 93 days and can't wait. Thanks for your report.
