Review summary

Okay experience but seen much better from RCL. The boat was extremely rocky and some suggested the captain was unwilling to use the stabilization system. Some shows were cancelled because of it and we missed good amount of entertainment. Overall, mostly hard working staff providing premium service. The cape liberty is terrible, we are not coming back there. Wish RCL tried to make up cancellations some way. Cancelled visit of the Cococay left a bad lasting taste to the whole trip. We love RCL but wont be back to Anthem, other ships set their bar higher.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Windjammer was the lowest quality. Food was cold by the time it got to the table. Staff would often not notice you coming in and you would have to look for them if you need help. Often not enough space.
