Review summary

The cruise was great. It was first time on Anthem. We have sailed 3 times with Independence so was hard at first getting use to this ship. Remember there is no Viking Crown Lounge, Ice Rink, H20 zone or water slides. No Sports Bar so no liscence to show any Main Football or the F1. Apart from that the Music Hall is great along with the Two 70 and the seaplex is great for the kids. The Promenade is an Esplanade which was more windy. The Solarium is lovely. Enjoy the swing 😉

Food and Dining

Main dinning room was lovely. Windjammer was a bit hit and miss but most of the food was good. We did Chefs table and this was exceptional. Sorrentos pizza lovely and the hotdog place at seaplex were great

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
These were good. Outdoor pool is small but there is an indoor and a Solarium. Seaplex had bumper cars and roller skating plus football, volleyball and basketball. Was a lot for everyone. Flow rider and rock climbing great.

We will rock you was the highlight of the cruise. Few other shows passed the time. Unfortunately the cruise director and staff were a bit boring. We felt he was much better on Independence

This was very poor. We went at the time we had booked but it seemed everyone went at this time or most never bothered about the times. Took us nearly an hour to get off the ship
