Review summary

the disappointment came when we were being charged for daily tips. our cruise fare included per-paid tips which we needed up having to go to guest services to clear up. to this day, i am not sure our tips were paid. I tried to contact my booking travel agent and never received a phone call in return.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
no problems or delays, straight forward

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
main dining room food & wait staff were outstanding

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
coming back to the united states is a bit disappointing...every waiter & waitress who works in the united states should spend one contract on-board this ship to learn how to wait on their customers. excellent service, friendly and very competent.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Only Royal Caribbean can put on the entertainment & shows that they do. Excellent shows with a wide variety.

Children's Programs

do not have children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cabin steward & wait staff and very professional and very well trained

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
overall, the ship is very clean and a real joy to cruise on. the middle of the ship where all the shopping is, is very congested.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was OK for 12 days, would not suggest being in that type of a cabin for longer than 12 days

You didn't say what type of room you had that was ok for 12, but not longer. Definitely agree that Anthem is a great ship.
