Anthem of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was good trip. The weather was not cooperating but overall good

The weather wasn't great and 2 ports of call were canceled due to high winds. The ship is nice but the list of activities of things to do on the ship are the same as in an older ship. The Seaplex is a nice change, however the schedule is cramped as the space is used for sports, bumper cars, roller skating. So you have to wait in long lines to enjoy bumper cars or roller skating.

I will always HIGHLY recommend Royal Caribbean. They are the cleanest ships, they have the most to do on them. The staff is all very helpful, kind and welcoming. They make you feel like you are truly apart of the Royal Caribbean Family. When I was in Nassau and to spoke to other people cruising on other cruise lines, they would ask what ship I was on and I would tell them "We are on Anthem of the Seas" and all the responses were "Oh the really nice ship!" That says a lot to me for the name of Royal Caribbean. I will always be Loyal to Royal.

Love cruising, love Anthem of the Seas, great ship. Love the Caribbean, it was a wonderful cruise, we had an amazing time. Love the sea days, so much to do on the ship. Enjoy the beach time rather than excursions everyday, since last year we did excursions everyday. Barbados and Antigua are our favorite ports so far. Cruising out of Bayonne is so easy, it is unbelievable how quickly and efficiently they get you on and off the ship. We will continue to cruise from Bayonne

Not happy at all with the buffet dining area, it was a dirty, filthy place and spoke to Head Waiters Sergii Bialik, Mr. Malcolm and Manager Mr Bulent and pointed out the dirty areas that were there for several days and was reassured it would be cleaner, however same areas still covered with food, finger prints and just down right filthy. A passenger also addressed the port health dept when they came aboard to clear us for the island and still nothing was corrected. Never will go on this ship again. Poor Management and I told him that on the last day and his reply was I've been on this ship for 2 wks and working on improvement, however I did not see much in my 12 day cruise. Most disappointing cruise I have ever taken with Royal Caribbean. Anthem of the Seas needs a good santitizing!!!!!

The next cruise people sold me a cruise I couldn’t take and so we had to take this one again. Won’t book with them again.

Ship and staff was amazing. Perfect day was great. Nassau is nasty. And should have stayed on ship.

Had a great time. The children enjoyed every moment

Really enjoyed it. Only thing was i had a complimentary voucher for speciality restaurants, but it was registered and they only decidex to honor it on last day at lunch because dinner was all booked up. Bummer...For some reason they charged my credit card 2 days aftet i returned even though my balance was at zero, but after i called they quickly resolved the matter and refunded my money..

I was a nice and relaxing cruise. Coco Cay looks amazing with its renovations, the rooms were beautiful and modern, shows were like Broadway’s, and the food was incredible! I really recommend Anthem of the Seas and Royal Caribbean for their quality, Food, entertainment, activities, etc

Disappointed with BJ's travel service. We were promised at the time of booking the cruise Exclusive Saving booklet - $425 value. I called the customer service right after booking and paying in full (also right away) and was told by the BJ's customer service rep that the booklet will be waiting on us in our cabin. When we arrived to the cabin there was NO booklet. The next day I went to the customer service on the ship (waiting in line for an hour) and they called BJ's travel from the ship (another hours waiting and talking). The BJ's travel was very rude, wasn't helpful, at all and didn't offer the resolution. Instead they said that it was mailed to us (we NEVER received anything from them and have no history of not receiving a mail in past). This was very disappointing because we could have booked with other agent at that time, but believed that BJ's will keep their promise on their Bonus Offers. In the future we planning to book many more cruises, but not via BJ's.

THIS WAS A VERY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE AND HAS MADE ME DECIDE TO NEVER CRUISE AGAIN. SHIPS ARE CROWDED, PEOPLE ARE PUSHY AND THE FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT ARE JUST POOR. WE WASTED $3000 BUCKS FOR A WEEK OF GARBAGE FOOD, SICK PEOPLE COUGHING ON US AND WAITING FOR ELEVATORS. NEVER AGAIN!!

We wanted to have a nice relaxing cruise - and we got it. We did bring some card games in case there wasn't anything to do that - and we used them. Other cruise lines, there were many more options in terms of activities. We weren't interested in the crazy amount of sale pitches for jewellery/ health "seminars"/ and basically every other shopping you can imagine. There were more "sale" actitivies than actual free activities etc. The trivia/ games scattered throughout the day seemed like an afterthought.

Breakfast is not good, service is not good at wind jammers. Dinner service is good.

Will do it again very enjoyable had a great time.

Overall this was the most relaxing cruise i've taken. The nightly entertainment can be a bit redundant but we enjoyed the ship and all that it had to offer.

Overall it was a great cruise at a great price. You can’t beat it! But, I would like to share 2 comments. First, some parents allowed their children to run up & down the hallways. Parents should know to respect other cruisers and to teach their children to “walk not run”. And, if the parent can’t discipline them then the room steward should have stepped in. Secondly, men were allowed in the dining room on “formal” nights with shorts. No one likes to get dressed up and then be seated next to a slob! It’s disrespectful! Food for thought: The dining room host and/or Maitre d’ should have turned them away. Instead, you’re turning those who respect and enjoy the evening away.

Overall, our cruise was very enjoyable. I loved that we purchased the drink package and had the my time dining. Entertainment was great and the staff was outstanding. Perfect Day was my favorite port yet! Our rooms were ALWAYS spotless and the room steward was so kind. The water was smooth sailing for most of the time which was a major plus. The only downfalls were there was not much to do for toddlers (2 yrs old) and not much room for strollers, and the pools were closed a lot of the time.

We really enjoy cruising over the holidays. This was the first time we had a suite, and it was wonderful.

Don't let the sales agent fool you with up to $200 for onboard spending. it's actual only $100 per state room. they keep saying up $200 and they don't disclosed the truth. up to $200 is for guest with suit. They way they explained to you and $200 is in your head the entire time.
