Review summary

When the worst part is that many of the hand sanitizers weren't filled it was probably a good cruise, which it was. Our Royal Genie Alexa, room attendant Raz and cruise director Jeff were all top notch. There were plenty of fun things to do. You could only be bored if you wanted to be.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Not a huge fan of the port in Bayonne. We have done Star Class a few times at other ports and the process was seamless each time This time was not. Part of it I think is the port isn't set up as good as others but the communication with the people working there wasn't smooth. There was a lot of waiting and standing around before we could get help. I'm nit picking but part of Star Class is a total seamless embarkation experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The bars and restaurants were awsome. Bolero and the Schooner Bar were always live and had great bar tenders. We usually stick to specialty dining and we did a lot of that but the main dining room was really good on this ship. Coastal Kitchen for breakfast was also a great alternative.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
IFly sky diving, the North Star, bumper cars are just a few of the great things you can only find on Quantum ships like Anthem.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We Will Rock You is a great production show. The comedian and the entertainer (juggler) were really good. For me, Spectra's Caberet and the other big show The Gift were just ok. Not much of a story in either.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Very friendly and professional the entire trip. Always giving suggestions and offers to help.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautify designed and always clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This loft suite was excellent. It's very modern and beautifully decorated and put together. The large balcony at the back of the ship was amazing and being on the corner it had 2 other balconies that were a nice touch.

Ship tip

Like the Oasis class, Quantum class ships are very large so watch videos before you go to learn as much as you can about the layout so you won't have to spend the 1st few days figuring where everything is.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. Our genie took us from our room all the way down to security. We left a jacket in the room and she went back and got it for us and brought it to our shuttle.
