Review summary

My first solo cruise after sailing 38 times before. Had a great time. The shows were amazing. Amazing singers. The performance by the juggler was great. Enjoyed the adult comedy. Had dinner in the MDR and had no complaints. Did try the Taste of Royal at Wonderland and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend this. The only disappointment was we couldn’t dock in CocoCay due to weather so instead we went to Nassau Bahamas. In all I had a great cruise and thinking of booking again to go in April 2024 hoping to get to CocoCay.

Ship tip

A cruise is what you make it. Although weather was not on our side I had a great time because I went with the attitude that I am going to enjoy myself.

I had the Key so I was able to hang out in Boleros until I was ready to leave. Exited quickly and luggage located easily.

We were also on November 12th and agree with your review. Love your attitude, it's up to you as to whether you have a good time or not. We also stayed on in Florida since we usually go there every year and would've loved Coco Cay but weather wasn't on our side. We adapted and made the best of it. All in all we loved it and glad you did as well.

Exactly what we thought of Anthem last year 😊 we couldn't fault anything! The staff were amazing, food was delicious and the ship was always clean. Absolutely loved the shows. We're on again in August and we cannot wait. As you say, your attitude contributes to anything / everything you do in life. I'm so glad you had a fab time 🤗🤗 thank you for sharing xxx
