Review summary

This is a great ship, enjoyed the North star and loved the iFly Rip cord. The music was fantastic.Pool areas were always busy full of life. We enjoyed the Solarium and it wasn't far from our room, very easy to get to. We loved trying the different dining offered. We bought a BOGO dining pkg. to try it and it was awesome. The robotic bar was ok to look at, I chose not to use it  so I can't tell you about the service. I simply prefer a person. The only area that I felt needed more care and service was Johnny Rockets. The staff took your orders and then it was crazy getting the correct stuff, it was very unorganized. Several people had the same problems. I went twice and both times had problems. however the rest of the dining shined.. Peter at the Wonderland went above and beyond to make our Anniversary special, especially since I have several food allergies. The food and service was Awesome at Wonderland, Chops and Jamie's Italian. Also the Windjammer had fresh food and great staff that serviced the area. The shows were good, just not my favorite as other ships caught my attention more.

loved it, lots of space for clothing ,suitcases and to move around. Enjoyed the balcony, small but private and enjoyable. Room décor was great, very classy. This room is in the front of the ship but not far from the elevators or stairs.

Ship tip

I would book all activities ahead of time, way before getting on the ship as it books up, like the North star and the iFly are very popular. Shows and Dining also should be booked in advance to get the best time for your families.

Question: Does the North Star cost to book time in it?

I am also going on November 10 and have been counting down for four months. This will be my 16th cruise but I haven't been on one in 1 1/2 yrs I'm used to 3 a year. Having cruise withdrawal.

MichelleHw1224, thanks for the review. Which two restaurants came with your BOGO?

clemsue    8 years ago

I did. Last month. But I've also heard you can wait till you board and then be on stand by.

Did you have to pre-book your shows?

Thank you for sharing your positive review on Anthem. My cruise starts on November 10, so definitely in count down mode. Hope my experience is as positive as yours!
