Review summary

Anthem of the Seas is a great ship. I think the quality of the crew was a little above the one from the other ship I have sailed RCI. They were all very nice, smiling everytime, always searching for someone to help. the best place on the ship was the Bolero where they were serving very good drinks prepared by the best bartender: Tony. The shows were also excellent at the theater and at the Two70 (another theater). But the lights at the Two70 are very disturbing and must be removed to open a full view on the scene. Otherwise, the ship is very clean, no bad odor. The solarium is a very nice place to relax (16 y.o. min.). The disembarkation was a total mess. we were supposed to leave at 8h30 but finally get out around 10h30. Also, the port Cape Liberty, is far from everything so it is difficult to have a taxi, and when you find one, it is very expensive. RCI should try to find a better port like the one directly into Manhattan.

As always, it is now a classic for us to return to Jamies on every cruise. VExcellent food, excellent pasta, and excellent service every time.

The Café@TWO70

Very nice but almost impossible to have a clean view of the scene. There are always objects or lamps in the field of view

Solarium

Very nice place to relax but it is impossible to have a chair after 10h30 in the morning. Poeple reserves chairs very soon and some are never used. RCI should be more proactive on that.

The Royal Theater

All the shows we saw there was very good.
