Review summary

Overall we had a great time! If you don’t have a great time it’s because you didn’t want to. There are things to do all over the ship day and night and I can’t imagine that anyone not finding something to do.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy check in and since I’m a gold member we were able to board right away.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I was nervous after reading reviews about the food but I really don’t know what people were talking about. The food in the main dining room was excellent! Every day there was a selection of new choices along with some options that are on the menu daily. I only ate at the buffet for a few lunches and it had so many choices. The solarium bistro was great for lunch. We ate in the main dining room for breakfast and the food was very good. We didn’t eat in any of the specialty Restaurants.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The solarium was nice but I wish there was a pool that you could swim in since the pools that you could swim in had a lot of kids in it and couldn’t really swim.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Music around the ship was great! All the shows were good except the music in the shows was a little too loud. Loved the comedians!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter Prabu and assistant waiter John were great! They always had smiles on their faces. Our room steward Yoman(not sure of spelling I lost his card) was great! When I asked for something extra I had it right away. The only people that didn’t seem happy or friendly were the bartenders.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was kept very clean. Any bathroom that I used around the ship was always clean and I’m sure that’s not easy with so many people using them.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The only reason I gave a 3 star rating is the beds are awful! Hard as a rock! Need to have a more comfortable mattress. The only other negative is the lighting around the mirror in the room needs to be brighter. That being said the room was very clean and there is plenty of storage in the room. For the amount of time a person is in the room it’s big enough.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

3 out of 5

Port Canaveral, Florida

2 out of 5
Took a shuttle to the beach but went right back to the ship. No place on the beach to get a drink or a bite to eat.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

Agree with this 100%. I hear people complain on cruises, vacations, and everywhere else. The sad part is their life is probably full of negativity. Had a man on the Majesty complaining of the size of the ship. I laughed and said what does the size matter while you are sitting in one place.

Where can we catch the comedy? This is our first cruise on RCCL-Anthem. We sail in June. Thanks for the review.

I always wear earplugs for the shows and music. Just light foam ones. Blessed cruise! Joy
