Excellent food and great choices.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not enough to do during the day. Need more classes, educational lectures, etc. Boring days at sea. Other cruises offer a lot more activities. Shops disappointing. Mostly jewelry.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Had one lady that answered the phone for guest services that was very abrupt. Not acceptable. Our waitress Sindiswa was a hard efficient worker, always smiling, very professional and accommodating. Her assistant also was a great worker. Had anytime dining. Very organized!!!! A +++++++++

Steward Noel was wonderful, friendy, timely and very professional. Our room was very small. First and last time without a balcony. Disappointed. Our other friends had same room window type rooms, but were larger.

Anthem interior cabins are 150 sqft, ocean view 166, balcony 177-198. Harmony 152, 165, 180-198 and Freedom about the same. The Carnival ships we've sailed are all about the same.

Cabin sizes are no different than on any other ship (ok larger than Empress for sure) but in general cruise ship cabins are small if you are a first time cruiser it may be smaller than expected, even more so if you go the less expensive route of an interior cabin.

it depends on where your room is if it's a inside cabin it will be small

Seem like all was nice except the cabin size. Maybe they had to cut back somewhere to install the bumper car circuit.

I had a balcony it was good size for a balcony it had good closet space . how many cruises have you been on and what type of cabin was you in. You have to remember you not spending the day in your room. I love relaxing by the pool

September 2017

Fall Foliage cruise - but never saw any fall colors! It was too early for the leaves to turn and too foggy in some ports to see anything! 9 days is too long on this ship

Foggy, Fun, Fantastic Voyage
