The Anthem was a great cruise for our family of four. We live in NYC so it was a short drive. Left our car in long term parking. Lots to do on the ship or can choose to do nothing but read book in lounge chair. My my kids are 12 and 17. They enjoyed the SeaPlex and the outdoor movies. IFly is not for me but my family loved it. The ports were lovely. The staff on the Anthem was wonderful. Extremely guest oriented. We had a great experience and are planning on going on another RC cruise.

We all did bumper cars and air hockey. Daughters did rock climbing, iFly was a big hit, and the stand up surfing. Also, did Northstar. Beautiful views. Would like to do escape room and roller skating but they book fast.

We Will Rick You was a lot of fun. Spectral Cafe was odd but dancers were amazing and the use of the space in Cafe 270 was really cool.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was very clean. I wake up early and there were people swabbing down each corridor handrail. Washing windows. Vacuuming. Swabbing tabled. Very clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was very clean. More storage than I expected. Suitcases fit under the bed. Two sets of drawers plus over the bed storage cabinet.
We took a $7.00 water taxi ride to Great Bay Beach. Very calm clear water. Two beach loungers, umbrella and WiFi for $20. Relaxing day at a pretty beach.
Labadee was beautiful. Beaches to choose from, includes lounge chairs. Rented floating g mats for kids. $19 each. Worth it. Only complaint is the food. Husband went to eat with you get child at 1:45 and they had missed lunch. Wish hours had been posted. Other than that beautiful water and beach.
