Super relaxing. Anthem of the Seas is the most beautiful ship we've sailed on. Food in MDR OK. Food in specialty restaurants excellent.
Embarkation

Very smooth. Staff is very experienced and it results in a smooth quick embarkation.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Whole lobster in Chops was best my wife ever had! Lamb chops in Jamie's were best I ever had. Food in MDR was good, but miss the variety of old menus. Service was just OK in MDR. I like coffee with dessert but each night the coffee arrived well after dessert.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The solarium is the place to be for peace and quiet. The thermal suite in the spa is not worth it. Is just too small. Have to pay for North Star when at sea, but is so worth it! Does not extend over the side when in port.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The Gift was pretty good. Unfortunately We Will Rock You was cancelled as the lead singer was ill. Spectra's Caberet was different than expected and too loud.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Staff was good, but not memorable.
Ship Quality

What everyone says is true! The ship does not feel as large as it is. There is something for everyone. If you can't find your happy place, you're just not looking!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Standard balcony layout, but the decor is very appealing. Love having a shower door instead of a flimsy vinyl curtain. Balcony seemed slighly larger than other ships.
Ship tip
Cafe Promenade is the place for early morning coffee and pastry.
Enjoyed excursion to Space Center. Wish they provide transportation back to the ship every half our or so. We were finished and ready to come back to the ship an hour before bus arrived.
Enjoyed Coco Beach Club. Lovely beach. Sea a bit chilly. Pool was much warmer and very enjoyable. Disappointed that our Up, Up and Away was cancelled due to high winds.
This is the way I found Royal Caribbean does business nowadays food main dining room subpar almost on purpose but the food that you pay extra for is excellent The air I breathe cost extra but it's excellent everything cost extra on Royal Caribbean but it's excellent why don't you charge a fair price for your cruises Royal Caribbean and offer people good value for what they pay for I'm sorry I know I'm just a despicable peasant who doesn't pay for the upcharge key club or double diamond club member but then again I do pay the price you offer for the cruise I would expect be treated at least as a human being not as a peasant unless I pay the upcharge The food on the ship stinks unless you pay the up charge so basically what you're saying is what you're paying for stinks you have to pay more if you want good that doesn't make business sense to me
