Review summary

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.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
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.

Service and Staff

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.

San Juan is a crap hole. This was my 1st time there, and I could really careless if I ever go back.

St. John's, Antigua

Not thrilling to me. Personally I could take it or leave it with Antigua. I'm neutral on this port.

Castries, St. Lucia

One of my most favorite islands. Bern there 3xs in 1 year, and did a waterfall excursion. Had a great time again on this island.
