Review summary

Overall I wouldn't recommend anthem of the Seas nor will I go back on this boat. The staff clearly didn't care towards the end and just wanted off the boat. They quarantined me for 3 days and told me I would get a refund but instead credited me one day for a future cruise. They can keep that. I will go to Disney or Norwegian instead.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The embarkation was pretty good. Alot of activities to keep busy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was good the first few days but after a while I began to get tired of it.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Activities were the best. Did casino, basketball, and 60 seconds or less game.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Entertainment was cool. Lots of music throughout the ship.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Daycare was one of the best I have ever seen handling my child. Will definitely use them again.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
This ship has some of the most rude staff I have ever encountered. Staff would snap if you asked for cheese or chocolate chip cookies. However my dining staff of Mr. Jethwa and Riski were among the best. I will only take whatever cruise ship they work on in the future.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Not clean at all. I ended up quarantined due to me and my daughter catching the flu. Staff would watch people cough and sneeze everywhere and would just ignore it.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was good size and comfortable. Koko did an amazing job of keeping it clean and stocked with whatever we needed.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Beautiful port but did not do an excursion.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

1 out of 5
Staff and locals were very rude. Referred to us as "Americans" wil not visit this place ever again.

St. John's, Antigua

2 out of 5

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Beach hop island style excursion was the best. You have to request andre as your tour guide. He looks like kevin hart.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

2 out of 5
Did the train excursion. Ride was too long with no food.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Customs handled everyone quickly.

This person rated the cruise low, but most of his verbiage says it was great. It is very confusing.

Funnily enough there is a review on since this for the same cruise. Says the staff were amazing. Have been on 8 RC cruises including the Anthem and have never had anything but praise for the service we have received.
