This was our first time on Anthem of The Seas, had wanted to do this class of ship for the North Star Extended Experience, bumper cars and I Fly. Our 2nd transatlantic cruise with Royal. Our only complaint is that they do the time changes at 2PM. Why not 2AM when everyone is sleeping? Seems the transition would have much less impact on people if this was done. Future bookings of Transatlantic cruises will be done East to West. Overall, we enjoyed the ship, staff was great, ports were new for us and we had good tours.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We stuck to the Windjammer, which we felt was hit or miss at times, and the Solarium Bistro, which we love. 4 stars due to Windjammer food.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
I think the staff did a great job all around, friendly, very attentive. Santiago was a great room steward.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship was very clean throughout. While this is not our favorite ship layout, it is well done, easy to navigate.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin had plenty of room & storage, well laid out, bed was comfortable. Absolutely no complaints.
Ship tip
Make reservations for Solarium Bistro in advance for dinner reservations. The food is excellent, but you do need to reserve in advance for dinner.
We visited Honfleur and Deauville. We really like Honfleur having visited prior. Deauville was interesting, but time there was very limited on this tour.
We only disembarked at this port, did not tour here. Rented a car and toured Bath, Salisbury, Stonehenge on our own over 4 days. Later returned here and took a train to Liverpool for another 2 days.
