Review summary

the ship is marvelous, well-appointed and extremely well-staffed; while onboard I booked another cruise on the same ship and I would recommend the 'Anthem' to any potential cruise-taker; since this was my 1st cruise I was slightly apprehensive but from the moment I arrived to embark I was amazed at the friendliness and helpfulness of the Royal Carib members who went out of their way to assist. For example, I arrived to embark without all my luggage (airline misplaced one checked bag) and it did arrive by messenger about 30-40 minutes prior to sailing. The RC staff at the embarkation location went out of their way to ensure that I was reunited with my bag when it arrived.

arrive at the beginning or near the end of the meal times (which vary somewhat from venue to venue) to avoid hunting for seating with an ocean view while dining

Do nice to hear you were reunited with your bag. A half hour later could have been a different outcome.

As a Travel Agent, it is good to hear that RCCL was so helpful with your luggage issue. Thank you for this post.
