Review summary

AMAZING! The best cruise I have taken, great food and drinks, service and cleanliness of the ship. I’m very satisfied and impressed with this ship and Royal Caribbean.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
My embarkation experience was a breeze. It was super easy to pull my car up and unload my luggage, park the car in a secure garage and then check in and pass through security with ease. The wait time from getting to the port onto the boat was about an hour but it was a very smooth transition.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room I had was the Grande which had amazing selections every night, great customer service and I would highly recommend going to chops grill if you had to choose from the specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
They had so many activities on the ship that you were never bored. The rock climbing was awesome, rip cord was unbelievable, flow rider was awesome and bumper cars and so much more to do in the sea plex. Very pleased with on board activities and shows.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows and performers were incredible highly recommend seeing the spectras cabert in two 70 and love and marriage as well as the quest excellence shows and amazing stand up comedy acts on the ship.

Children's Programs

I don’t have children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room attendant always kept the room clean, had a great attitude and made towel animals for us every night upon request. The bartender at the music hall is highly recommended by myself he was amazing, he always greeted us as if we had known him forever and knew our names, stateroom, and drink orders by heart so we never had to hand him a sea pass card and drinks were always ready for us when we walked in he gave amazing customer service. The wait staff in the Grande were also fantastic never skipped a beat!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the layout of this ship, although the water was quite rocky so we felt the ship move a lot. The common areas were always clean and hand washing was strictly enforced in any eating area which I appreciated.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was incredible, very clean, lots of lighting, the balcony was amazing and we used it a lot, loved the layout and bathroom was still spacious enough, the art work added a very nice touch.

Ship tip

You NEED to book anything you want to do on the ship or excursions in advanced. Make sure to head straight to guest services to book your activities like the North Star, rip cord, or ifly when you get onto the ship because the spots fill super quick.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

5 out of 5
I did not do any excursions but seeing NYC and the Statue of Liberty from the ship was awesome!

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5
We had amazing weather, the bars were awesome, and we started a volleyball tournament on there sand court which was a blast! The water was incredible and the tender process was a breeze.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
I would highly recommend doing a snorkel tour here like I did because it was incredible and the reef and fish were beautiful.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation from the anthem of the Seas was the smoothest experience I have ever had getting off a ship. They truly do have a super easy and convenient process for getting over 4,000 people off of the ship. They create stations around the boat with different times that go along with your disembarkation number to keep the lines shorter and process smoother. I didn’t have to be off the boat until 9:15am leaving plenty of time for breakfast and keeping the experience as relaxed as possible.
