Are there many places to eat that are free? Are the drinks packages cheaper to book in advance or when you board?

Yes, beautiful ship. We had one of our best ever cruises on the Anthem. Loved Wonderland too! Overheard a guy moaning about the food in Wonderland, then admitted he only really liked steak and fries! He should have stuck to Chops Grill 😅
