Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
On Anthem of the Seas, Drinks take long and The Food areas were less clean than most cruises... Wash your hands often

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I loved the Bingo, the Music Hall club, The NorthStar, and the Battle of the Sexes game ! This was a relaxing holiday cruise for me so there wasn’t a need for tons of activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were great! I enjoyed Spectra’s show, The Magic show, and The late night Adult Comedy show

Solarium

2 out of 5

It’s supposed to be Adults Only... Children were in the Solarium all. The. Time

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Lots of the Staff were helpful and welcoming... there were one of two a__holes that seem to rush people off the ship on the last day.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Eek ! Most common areas were very dirty... Watch Out !

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Huge cabin and a wonderful balcony view :-)

Ship tip

Don’t Expect Much

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

Clean and Organized

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
There’s absolutely nothing around it ! I went to WalMart - about 15-18 minute Taxi Ride away.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Be aware of your surroundings... There’s plenty to do and see. There’s the mall - John Bull (Clean Restrooms Starbucks inside) and a great Conch Fritter place behind the Pirate Museum

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Chill Beach always smells of Sulphur - Use Oasis Lagoon Bring Cash and Credit Card - You will need these to make purchases of tickets into rides and some food/ beverages.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Chaotic if you have Royal take your luggage for you... Self Carry your Luggage for the best, smoothest option

Credit cards and cash for rides and food? Really?

So great that you didn't allow the few negatives to ruin your experience. I can agree with you that Anthem's staff would leave items strewn around the ship, whereas most Royal ships are more tidy. I'd still get back on Anthem in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
