Had a wonderful time, as always I do on my cruises. It's what you make of it. Love the Anthem and I am back on it again in October of 2023 for 15 night transatlantic crossing. Only thing on the anthem that constantly dissatisfied me is Starbucks, poorly ran, not open earlier enough and very unorganized. 35 mins for a coffee is an absolute joke.

Food and Dining

MDR was awesome 👍. Food was always good. My servers Ashvin, and Igede were absolutely the best. Special thank you to my head waiter for hooking us up with my Italian meats at dinner! Now the bad, Starbucks needs to open way earlier than 6:30 a.m. way to late to open. I did complain about that. When there are 30 people in line at 5:45 a.m. waiting, that should be a sign. Also need more than just 2 people working in Starbucks all day long. 35 mins in line for a latte is ridiculous. So 0 stars for Starbucks, 0 stars for RCI for Starbucks being extremely poorly run.

I'm giving it 2 stars for the simple fact it never changes. 3xs on the anthem now same shows as 3 years ago. Change it up. Please.

My state room attendant was fantastic, always checking in on us, room was always clean outstanding. My MDR waiter, and assistant waiter, Ashvin, Igede, were the best. Highly recommend them. Sunshine bar, in the solarium is the best bar on the ship in my opinion. Ralph, and Kevin best bartenders on the ship in my opinion hope to see you both in October for my transatlantic crossing from Southampton back to Bayonne.

Been on the Anthem 3 times, we love that whole ship. Nothing bad to say about Anthem, except for Starbucks.
I'm with you. We ha e been on 3 cruises that were pretty bad but we made the best of all 3 and had tons of fun. It's what you make it. Don't always look for the bad. Every ship and cruise line has bads.
