We had a wonderful cruise. Anthem is a great ship -huge but not too huge. There is always something going on and to do. Lots of great food and activities. I love the iFly and Flowrider. The staff are great, they try really hard and it shows. They care about their beautiful ship and keep her looking great. Awesome itinerary (even with missing Antigua). The shore excursions we did (West Coast Catamaran Cruise in St. Lucia and Volcano Hike and St. Kitts) were great. I love doing excursions through the cruise line because it makes it so easy when you're in port. Spend more time DOING the activity rather than shopping around.
Embarkation

Sailing from Cape Liberty could not be any easier.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Specialty dining is wonderful and worth the experience.
The Windjammer was great, always something to eat and on this cruise plenty of seats available.
The Main Dining room has good food, sometimes great. This time around our service wasn't great. Our assistant waiter was absent a lot and when he was there he didn't seem to help a lot nor was he fast. We felt bad for our head waiter who had a full and needy section. It was not his fault. Often our drinks would arrive late.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Anthem rocks! The staff on the iFly are incredible. We had one guy on the Flowrider who was just a jerk; he was showing off on it when I was having my turn. He also cut both members of our groups rides short.
The pools are awesome, and the hot tubs.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Great headliners and shows (although we haven't sat through them entirely). Spectra is cool and worth a watch. The stuff they do in 270 is fun!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone is trying really hard and that is apparent. There are some great team members on Anthem.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
I love this ship -it's huge but not too huge. They're always cleaning it too. And painting! We were docked for 15 minutes and they were already out painting the hull.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Standard stateroom. Great balcony and space. I love the bathrooms; I know it's small but it's really all the space you need.
