We went in March in the Anthem and are going again in January. Had a good time and we were impressed with how quickly disembarking at each island went. The only thing we were disappointed in was the Schooner Bar entertainment but it will change by the time we go again. Unfortunately the big production numbers stay on the ship for 5 years so we won’t see anything new but knew that when we booked.

We’re on the Anthem right now. A cruise is what you make it & we’re loving it! The food all over the ship has been wonderful, service excellent, very friendly staff & a variety of entertainment, some we have liked better than others, but lots to choose from. Only negative is the “cold” weather & even the cruise line can’t control that!!

We’re looking at a cruise on Anthem next year so we’re reading all the feedback.

We have done Anthem twice (and a 3rd time in 20 days). It is a non traditional cruise experience. We don't mind it at all and find the ship relaxing. Service and food was no better or worse than other ships. Great spa, super solarium, funky shows, modern ship, easy layout. I guess Anthem is an acquired taste.

Dhoyle1, Anthem in 88 days? Me too!! I can’t wait!! These negative comments are concerning though. I have been on 2 RC ships this year, both windjammers were a big disappointment, other than that, I have no complaints 😁

We just got off The Anthem and it had awful service. We had to give our credit card information multiple times which takes a bit when you have to wait in line and guest services. We also did this on line and at the port.

Anthem was my 1st RCL cruise. Although it was beautiful, and I loved Ifly, RCL wasn't what some people make RCL out to be. But I have read a lot of people say that Anthem isn't near as good as other RCL ships they've been on. I only went on it twice because we got an excellent deal because we came back early due to a storm and norovirus. If it wasn't for one of us going for free, I wouldn't have gone on RCL again.

This is one of RC’s newer ship. We have always booked with RC. We’re getting ready to board this ship on Nov 3rd. What was your concerns?
