Anthem of the Seas - Reviews

Cruise was great in general. LOTS and lots of people but if you plan in advance and know that there are places you can go for adults only that's not so bad. It ends up being MUCH more expensive than it appears - you can probably manage that but you will be shocked at how much internet and drinks end up costing you - talk to your mobile phone carrier before you go (would have worked out to MUCH less for me to have made those arrangements in advance). Any side things you get also really add up! Also, not sure how the triple points, etc., work but I don't see them showing up on my Marriot Bonvoy yet.

Very attractive ship with a lot of activities. Food was disappointing (quality and quantity in regular dining rooms) compared to other RC cruises I have taken.

We had a good time for the most part but thought the cruise line Royal Caribbean really nickel and dimes you to death. They even charged for water and popcorn?? We couldn't even take an excursion that wasn't controlled by them. Per the locals all prices for excursions are set by the cruise line. On other cruises we have had several choices portside other than just the ones on ship. Not so here. Pretty much take it or leave it. We took another couple, first time cruisers, with us. Took us several years to get them to take a cruise and was very disappointed it didn't live up to others we had bragged about. will not take another Royal Caribbean cruise for these reasons.

It was a pleasure to cruise on that huge an beautiful ship. Above all good customer's service.

Great cruise as always with RC. Highly recommend. Summer months are much more crowded with families and children. Outside of late June - Aug would be great for ones whom don't have school-aged children

One of our best family vacation eve . There's so much to do for everyone in the famil .

Overall we enjoyed it but prefer Oasis of the Seas. We would not go on Anthem of the Seas again. Ship was lacking a bit of excitement for us.

great cruise, beautiful ship, great staff, good food, money well spent. good entertainment.

Friendly cruisers and most all staff. Too aggressive to specialty restaurants. Amar in the coastal was amazing and the food was delicious. Casino staff not friendly at all, saw no winners Layout was nice, pools were clean and had lifeguards. Enjoyed the solarium pool 18+ Never crowded. Would take this cruise again. Anthem of the seas was amazing !! Our best cruise yet !

Nice clean ship, good food the shows were boring with the exception of the Rock show, That was amazing. I tried the Wonderland restaurant it was WOW!!!. Jamies was great too. The chop steak - not so much. Steaks were average -dont waste your money. The sushi class was great.

I would do this cruise again in a heartbeat. A little strange that the ship has no waterslides, but that's the only thing I missed.

Outstanding ship, food, and service. Entertainment was terrible very poor MC’s. Shows on other ships we liked we not good on this one due to poor hosting. Some entertainment staff looked like they wAnted to be elsewhere

This was our second time on Anthem and love the ship as well as the ports of call. We were a group of 10 and at least 1 in each room had the WiFi which helped us plan and find each other through the 9 days. We also had the drink package. Can’t wait to book another cruise!

It was a great getaway with the family, even though we had moments we weren't to happy with we made the best of it and enjoyed ourselves. Not sure if we're cruise Royal again or any time soon but we will definitely be on another cruise sooner than later.

We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with our family. There were activities for every age group. We dined every night together in the Silk restaurant with the same wait staff, which was great. Bermuda was gorgeous and again activities for all. This vacation was a blast!

It was a very nice ship. I thought it was going to be way better than carnival and it really wasn’t, plus the cruise price was way higher . The food was good, not great .

The cruise was really great, the ship, crew and bars were great. There are plenty of venues to go relax and hangout. Food was everywhere and plentiful. The Buffet at the Windjammer was very good, many choices to select from. The ONLY negative was cigarette smoke, the PORT side area of the pool deck 14 where smoking was allowed, The smoke traveled throughout. Cape Liberty, was very efficient, the boarding and and disembarking was the best experience we ever had. Overall a very good experience.

It wasn’t a bad cruise, just hard to pinpoint what was missing. Several people commented on that. They’ve turned these cruises into cash cows with extra charges for things that were always included before. The esplanade was disappointing, not really a lot of choice, too many expensive jewelry stores. There were full pages of activities listed but really nothing much to do in the afternoons if you don’t want to shop or go to spa seminars that are usually just sales events.

Great cruise. The food and service were lovely. The staterooms are roomy and well designed. We liked having an overnight at port so we didn't feel rushed. We did a night cruise excursion and a secluded beach escape, which was actually secluded, unlike Horseshoe bay, and totally amazing!

I feel the staff is overall extremely customer service focused. Smiles, welcome wishes, etc. go a long way! I wish there could be more organization in the Windjammer as I do find it a "jammer!" I like the hand washing in Adventure better than Anthem.
