The Anthem of the Seas is a great modern and high tech cruise ship. I enjoyed it a lot since this was our first time on board. We like the specialty restaurants such as Chops, Wonderland and Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver.
Although I am not a drinker, I enjoyed the two robots mix and serve drinks to the patrons.

We like the specialty restaurants such as Chops, Wonderland and Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver. All other nights, we ate at the Coastal Kitchen since we had a Jr. Suite. Great ambiance, staff and food selections.

Cabin / Stateroom

Jr. suite was great, plenty space, with full bathtub and shower plus a separate toilet area.
Industrial port. Very hard to get in and out of. Minimum nearby facilities such as coffee shops (I was able to locate one (Dunkin Donuts). Getting of th ship is even more difficult.
Friendly port. We walked the entire wharf. Clean and plenty of public toilets and wash rooms. Things to see are Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and glass blowing. Took the ferry across the channel. We rode public bus to the Shearwater Aviation Museum. It was a good experience.
The weather was cold and rainy. We were not able to experience the entire town. We liked what we say. I connected with a fellow photographer who was friendly and we chatted for a while.
It took us, are you ready, over an hour to get of the ship after they called our number. They attributed the slowdown to the fact that they were using facial recognition for immigration. I really hate standing in lines for super extended time.
