Very nice time on the Anthem of the seas. Everyone was so friendly and ready to make our experience memorable. We enjoyed the food mostly in the restaurants in the evening since we like the sit down service but we had a reservation for the CHIC restaurant every night even if the menu is the same it would have been enjoyable to experience the other inclusive restaurants like the Grande and the Silk just for a change of décor. We did go one night for a change but we had to wait in line without a reservation. A lot of table are free but since they need to wait for the guests with a reservation it was a puzzle for the head waiters. ( not an easy job).
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We enjoy the sit down dinning. We got a very nice waiter ( Aubrey Gabardo) and help waitress ( Jiayuan Zhou) both made an effort to make our experience memorable. They took the time to talk with us even if they were very busy. Jiayuan made sure our little boy had fun and he didn't want to eat elsewhere because he wanted to see her.
Onboard Activities

Should find a way to cancel reservation to free places for those of us who did not make reservation a head of time. Not easy to get a reservation for some of the activities.
Entertainment

We will rock you was great but with a young son I would have preferred just a few bad word taken out at least for the matinee show maybe. It was not excessive or anything but just a few little modifications to illuminate a few words and innuendos, But I still took my son and we enjoyed it very much.

The head waiter at the CHiC restaurant Mr. Opus ( Rumanian) I think that was his name. He was great, He took the time to talk and exchange with us. Even with a busy schedule and a long day he still had a smile and took the time to talk to us and even entertain my young son.
The guest services line up is long at times. You should have a person standing in the line up asking what is the question and if they can answer without having to line up with an Ipad or something.
Ship Quality

Loved loved the fact that everyone was encouraged to wash there hands at the windjammer that is such a good way to enter the restaurant.
Cabin / Stateroom

Carlos was amazing our room was spotless. He made the effort to remember our names and that was a nice touch. He made us feel at home. I personally don't like to put my close in the drawers even if there was lots of space. I would prefer to have a stand for the suitcases to open and access my stuff easier but its not a complain it would be nice just to have a place like a suitcase stand to put our suitcases. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable.
Ship tip
Make sure you reserve your activities early since it was a little difficult to get the activities times and everything was booked. You don't know what you want to do ahead of time it would be nice to have a way to change reservation for those who have already booked but change there mind.
Add a few buses to the space Kennedy we tried to book and the excursion was full without possibility to add another bus. On other ships they had a waiting list and if they are able to book another bus with the waitlist they did.
the tender took along time. Not sure how to improve the scenario exempt to add a few tender boats at an expense to the company. Maybe have excursions like speed boats or seado leaving from the ship so these people would not need a to tender.
