Anthem of the Seas - Reviews

The ship was beautiful however things could have been better. We traveled with a person with special needs and were told that the parent would get a beeper for when he was at a group meeting. Our travel agent told us that and yet the ship knew nothing about it. Communication could have been better. Many parents showed up for events not knowing it was for a certain age group, because it was not communicated well. The computer glitch should not have taken so long to fix. Our teens were also deprived time on the xbox games because others were not monitored by staff as to how long to stay on. Complained to guest service, but problem was not resolved. I did not want my child playing much,but he should have been given a chance and couldn't because other monopolized it and no one from the ship supervised. The flow rider and I fly were great as were the bumper cars.

Overall a good cruise. Would have been better if the itinerary was a longer stay in Bermuda and skipping Boston.

The ship was booked to 100% capacity. A passenger got "sick" on day one and we had to turn around. We arrived hours late at Bermuda. $1,200 in extras, from Trips, to Photo's to cancelled excursions. We've already booked a different cruise for next year, never again Royal Caribbean - everything is extra, and they try and up sell you of everything the whole trip.

Overall, it was a great experience ! Food was great, onboard activities are abundant. Stage shows need improvement

Had to call to have the promised prepaid gratuity added to my account. 45 minutes of my cruise vacation wasted taking care of something they promised to do 2 weeks prior to sailing. Learned of it while checking my shipboard account. They took care of but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Need more to do during sea days. Love the indoor pool. The seaplex is an indoor gym, very nice.

The cruise was fun but we were really shocked with the danger of the bumper cars. My mother in law and I got really hurt. It is not safe. We have been on bumper cars before but these were dangerous. I got whiplash and my mother in law received 2 broken ribs.

Love this ship; the itinerary was limited but actually very good ! Love the workers, the food, the amenities... Nice cruise!

This was an easy relaxing itenerarty and we loved it. The ship is nothing short of amazing and the food, shows, etc the best we’ve experienced. Biggest issue was not being able to participate in many big ticket activities due to not knowing about having to register the first day. Never did get to do Northstar, ifly or escape room and those items were on our list for picking this ship.

staff was wonderful! food was not i believe the alcohol isn't the same quality as one gets at 'home'

It's a wonderful family cruise, there is so much to do on this ship. They really cater to teens too.

Overall, the ship was amazing, but the service was subpar. Even though it was a sold out cruise, we rarely felt overcrowded at restaurants or in other areas of the ship. However, I have never been more disappointed in a cruiseship staff than I was on this trip. Our cabin steward was terrible. We asked on the first day if they do towel animals at night (as all the other cruise lines we've used have). She said only every other day. We asked if there was a way we could get them everyday, as our daughter loves them and we'd certainly tip generously to appreciate it, she said she'd do it and never followed through. Additionally, our TV broke the second day of the cruise and was not fixed until the 6th day, despite multiple calls/trips to guest services. And the entertainment staff and shows aboard are terrible. We went to the pub every night to listen to the acoustic guitar player because there were limited other options (no nightly themed parties, dance clubs, etc). The stage shows were the worst we've encountered. Overall, we had fun relaxing aboard the ship, which is very well laid out, but the amenities and staff from other cruise lines are heads and tails above this one.

The cruise itself was more relaxing because there were not enough activities that interested me and the reservation requirements were worst.

Lots to do, lots to eat and drink and still plenty of time to relax. great time!

Classy beautiful ship with excellent officers, staff, and crew. All friendly and helpful. Dennis the Cruise Director was talented and just the best. Carmi in Windjammer took it personally that our every whim was more than satisfied. Also, Akshay, James, Chris, and the Supernova band (see above notes).

!st time ever cruising and we will definitely be going again on Royal Caribbean!

For the money we paid the cruise was good. We have been on this same cruise so knew what to expect

Great cruise. RCL has it down pat. If I had a criticism it would be with the main dining room dinner menu. I have to compare it to Celebrity’s dinner menu. It was very good but not outstanding. The menu choices were a bit more limited and not as varied. The Wonderland specialty restaurant was great. All in all the food was very good and it was a great cruise.

DINING STAFF OUTSTANDING 722 AND 723 TABLE...BORAS AND LEANARDO

Was disappointed that the ship did not have a place or time available for worship on Sunday a sea day during the cruise.
