Couldn’t be happier for our much needed family vacation. Royal Caribbean kept my faith so I plan to never go to another crisis line again. Cannot wait to cruise with them again.
Embarkation

Quick and easy! Faster than I expected and no hassle.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We couldn’t be happier! The main dining room never disappointed. Every meal was unique and delicious. We ate there every night. The wait staff were behind any expectation we could have set. Cannot say enough good about the main dining room experience. The windjammer was about as expected but still good food and you knew what you were getting. The cafe at 270 was good for breakfast and lunch for something different.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Bumper cars was faster and better than I thought. iFly was also a thrill and must do. Most everything else was usual fare but still great. Xbox’s were mostly out of order.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Top notch shows. The Gift and We will rock you were stunning performances. Justino Zoppe the Magician was great for the kids too. The comedian was very funny especially his late night adult show. The musicals were shows I would pay $25 or more per person to see on Broadway.
Children's Programs

Seemed great but my children only went for one session and spent the rest of the time with us.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Cannot praise the wait staff and our stateroom attendant enough. Amazing with our children and showed us the utmost respect. We were really made to feel like royalty the entire cruise. They felt like people I would normally become friends with long term. Not a bad thing to say about them. I made sure to give extra tips because they more than earned it.
Ship Quality

Beautiful ship with lots to do. Very clean and modern. Would love to cruise on the Anthem again.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Excellent and larger than expected. Never once felt crowded during the 12 nights with my wife and I and an 8 and 6 year old. The interior with a screen made it feel like we had a balcony.
Gorgeous scenery. The locals at spots were a little too in your face trying to make a buck. I feel like I would hand out more if they stayed back more than I gave out with them right in my face. The Pitons were beautiful.
Tiny area. Getting our luggage was ok at best with the free for all. Customs was fine. The real bad part was getting forced outside to wait for a hotel shuttle for over an hour in the freezing cold and wind with only a bus to sit on. They really need to revamp this part of the port.
I agree with you fully about disembarkation. We have done a winter cruise out if NJ and we were freezing outside waiting for the bus. The waiting area was unheated but at least covered but too small for all the passengers. There wasn't any announcement when busses arrived, which caused anxiety. Anyway, thanks for sharing your cruise review.
