This was a great cruise and I had loads of fun. It was a New Year’s Eve cruise and the Anthem did this very well!

There was some waiting but the lines constantly moved and we boarded the ship in about 20-30 Minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The first night of a cruise is always shaky,but after that,our meals were amazing!! We had traditional dining in the Chic dining room which is beautiful,and our waiter Oua and assist waiter Stivlana were wonderful! The only down was the drink service. They were late most nights.

Everything happens here. Really enjoyed just sitting in this room. As far as entertainment, only Spectra’s was a disappointment this trip. There was so much more to it a few years ago. The show was dark and depressive. There were not many artist participating and Spectra mostly walked around with a drink! Sorry, was not impressed.

Ship tip

Be sure to book your excursions early and any spa appointments as soon as you get on the ship if not before you board. Enjoy the complementary food venues as they are really as good as the specialty venues,and enjoy the entertainment venues on the ship.
