Very attractive ship with a lot of activities. Food was disappointing (quality and quantity in regular dining rooms) compared to other RC cruises I have taken.

Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Did not eat at any specialty restaurants. Buffet was good but less variety than on previous RC and other cruises. The quality of the food in the dining room was disappointing compared to previous RC Cruises and even other cruise lines. Had to wait too long for food to be served when dining after 8PM. Did not like the bottle iced tea (vs. fresh which we had been served in all of our previous cruises).
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Pools were very attractive with an glass enclosed pool and an adults only solarium pool.
Lifequards always present, water always clean, many whirlpools. Attractive fitness center, fun additional activities like bumper cars and roller skating.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Several excellent shows, funny comedians, and good variety of different singers.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Room stewart excellent, waiters not as attentive as previous cruises but adequate.
Cruise director was a nice guy but not as high energy and involved as other cruise directors.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Excellent design, clean and well maintained
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Nice size cabin, comfortable and clean
Ship tip
Food might be disappointing for those who went on previous RC cruises
Bermuda is beautiful. Did the pink boat catamaran (Restless Native ) excursion- excellent with great crew and water activities in a beautiful, calm cove.
Bought bus tickets to and from Horseshoe Bay Beach thru cruise but found out later that there were express vans in port for half the price.
We have taken our first RCI cruise back in May, on Anthem and I cant agree with you more than you described in your post. What is going on with food on Anthem? We love NCL and if you put Anthem (everything else) and NCL food it would have been a complete and total "Home Run". Anthem is spotless, crew and activities are at their best. But food and dining experience a compete garbage. Beverage package ....... Can't even get a top shelf liquor at extra charge? Anthem can and should do better than that. Back on NCL.......
