Great Fall cruise! The Ship, Anthem of the Seas, is well appointed but way to big for my wife and I. There were 4108 passengers and a crew of 1500 on board. Too much time spent standing in lines.

I have been on 5 different cruise lines and Anthem of the Seas has by far the largest and well thought out cabins there are!

Ship tip

Bring your walking and stair climbing shoes. NOT enough elevators!!

Anthem of the Seas needs to use tenders to get people to and from shore.

Disembarkation

No flow to the disembarkment procedure. Every man for himself. Would have spent 2 plus hours in line if we didn't spend $40.00 on a porter.

I like your review, but the Oasis class ships are much bigger and hold 5000+ passengers and 1500 crewmembers
