Review summary

We won't be sailing on this ship again. Our cruise was boring...not much going on as far as things to do on sea days. Same itinerary every day. Not even sure if I wan't to sail with RCI again. Hopefully things will be different or change after Covid restrictions are lifted.

Ship is showing a lot of wear and tear. Definitely needs to be updated.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We had a starboard side large balcony room. Mattress was ok. The bath towels were horrible...old, shabby and not very absorbent...should be replaced. Loved the longer balcony but was very noisy...a lot of rattling and banging. We had to stick a piece of paper between some gaps in the panels to keep it from banging together.

I was on the same sailing, 12564 was my Stateroom, my wife and I once again had a wonderful time. We love the Anthem, we have cruises on this ship before and we are booked again on it January 2, 2023, for another 11 nighter. Sorry you didn't like the ship. We love Anthem.

Maybe cruising isn’t for you. You know when you booked with Covid going on things would not be normal. I can believe why there was not a lot to do but there’s always something, even just relaxing at the pool with a book or playing Phase 10, great card game. or relaxing on your balcony. Just being on a cruise ship is the best vacation ever!!!!!

Hmmm ship is only 7 years old. Oh well, opinions, and since I have not sailed Royal Caribbean, I can only wonder based on other recent reviews.

The cruise was excellent, my spouse and I really enjoyed ourselves and treated as a vacation that was much needed.

Fantastic cruise. We passed San Juan stop due to covid restrictions. We had an extra day at sea but with beautiful weather. Masks were mandatory but will soon be lifted. All in all, enjoyable. Best entertainment by far.

Great cruise
