Review summary

It was good, we had fair weather. We feel the entertainment was lacking. Chops Grill was excellent. We have been on Anthem of the Seas 6 times, I think it is time to try another ship. As we can drive to Cape Liberty in an hour, we prefer that Port. Everything is run smoothly in Cape Liberty.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Drinks were great. Food in main dining room could have been better. Chops Grill and Jamie's Italian were great.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We went to see comedian in Two70, had to wait in a very long line and gave up because we knew by the time we entered the venue, there would be no seats left! Reservations were not offered. I don't know why this show was not held in the Theater!?

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Pub singer was good but too loud. I did not care for the Bon Jovi Tribute Band. We miss the Royal Swedes!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room Steward was great, as was all crew on the ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was large & clean. We love the large walk in shower in the Jr Suite! The only complaint is the beds are too hard. We have been on this ship 6 times, we bring our own inflatable camping mattresses.

Ship tip

If you have sensitive bones (arthritis) bring inflatable air mattress as the beds are very hard.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

We booked the CoCo Beach Club, a little pricey but worth it. We were able to have a beach lounge chair with an umbrella. and the special lunch was great!

There was a huge debacle with Customs and Immigration. Everyone was made to get off the ship and wait inside and outside for many hours before being allowed back on the ship. It could have been handled much better. I don't know if Royal Caribbean played a part in the poor planning. However, to make up for this, Royal Caribbean gave each passenger a partial refund.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We always self disembark, there seems to be much more passengers doing this. Now, there are long lines of people with their luggage leaving at the same time..
