Review summary

Was my first cruise on a Quantum class ship. I really enjoyed exploring the different venues & seeing different ports.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Got there at our scheduled time, still had to wait in line more than an hour.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in the main dining room & the buffets was quite tasty.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Rode the North Star & bumper cars. Very cool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Most of the shows were tons of fun. There were a couple of comedians who were hilarious, & we all loved the stage production of We Will Rock You.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had the best dining room service ever. Sylnette & Harley took great care of us the entire cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Anthem is huge, took me nearly a week to get my bearings. The design is incredible, there are a lot of really cool features. The crew seemed to be making a real effort to keep everything clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For an interior cabin it felt very spacious. The virtual balcony was fun, & made a great night light. My only complaint is the bed was too firm for me to be comfortable, even with a pad on the mattress.

Ship tip

Take a day or two to walk around & get oriented if it's your first time on the ship. It can be a little overwhelming at first, but is worthwhile.

Ports of call

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
Shopped a little, found a taxi tour around the island, got to see some lovely scenery.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Didn't take any excursions, just walked around close to the port.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We found a taxi driver who drove us around the island, which is beautiful & has some spectacular beaches.

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

5 out of 5
Was OK. Was kind of cool being able to see the Statue of Liberty from the ship while we were in port.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
St. Lucia is beautiful. We booked an excursion thru the ship. Went to a batik demonstration & stopped at a couple of scenic areas for pictures. Were late getting back so didn't have time to shop.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Was fairly easy. Our estimated time was 8:45, & we managed to get out, get our bags, & board our shuttle for the airport with minimum trouble.

Glad you liked the Anthem. I have been on it before, and going back on it again in January 2 2023 for the same itinerary we just did.
