Anthem of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great cruise-fun with family and great service as usual with RCCL.

Plan to cruise on Royal Carribean in the future...just hope the stage shows are better.

Ship was beautiful, food not so good. Excellent crew service.

We chose this sailing on Anthem because 1) we wanted to experience this class of ship and 2) the price was EXCELLENT. We weren't disappointed. However, we won't bother with Bayonne again just to sail Anthem; it wasn't THAT great. Move Anthem to another home port and we might look at it again.

Cabins were very spacious. I had an obstructed balcony cabin. 6690. There was a lifeboat taller than the balcony rail, so obstructed can mean very obstructed.

This was my First and last cruise with Royal Caribbean. Been in the hospitality industry for a long time and never have seen so many upset or annoyed customers because the company would not adjust reservation.

Will do it again! Excellent experience. We will be traveling again, next time with the whole family.

Had a GREAT time! With the exception of our room steward and the mattress, everything was great.

Relaxing for the most part, which is what I wanted. Wish they had more food places opened after 9pm.

Enjoyed the cruise. The weather was a little colder than expected. Wish we could of stopped at the last port. But I know Royal cannot control the weather. Overall great experience!

The port in New Jersey is set up poorly. The traffic is so backed up going into the port that we arrived to the ship later than our scheduled time. Also, when coming off the ship, the traffic was backed up once again and I feared that I would miss my flight because I was waiting so long for my ride to arrive. I ended up walking out in traffic to find my driver after waiting close to an hour for her. Luckily we took action, otherwise we would have missed our flight.

insane policy of only unloading two or three cars at a time backs up all traffic, october 27 line extended over 2 miles.beyond inept/////////

The ship is stunning. It was the easiest ship to get around. the staff and crew are excellent, hard working and friendly.

Really enjoyed it. Anthem of the Seas is a gorgeous ship, staff was excellent, and the food was better than any I had been on.

The service charges were ridiculous. I just felt like I was nickeled and dime to death after I’d already spent a lot of money for that cruise. Not going to Saint johns was disappointing and I found out from other people on the ship that have gone on this trip before and that the three times they had gone they had never going to St. John’s. Why go this time of year? Spend more time in Bar Harbor or at least go back. Our dinner staff Vuyokazi and Divina were amazing. The chefs table was the best service and dinner I have ever had/experienced.

Waiting to hear back from Royal Caribbean. Wasted a week of our life we will never get back!

I have taken at about 15 cruises in the last 15 years. This was the first with this cruise line. It will be my last.

Loved Anthem of the Seas! So many things to do. Five days was not long enough. The balcony room had much more storage than the previous Royal ships & finally a nightlight in the bathroom! The one thing that was disappointing was the dining rooms. Our group had my time dining and was assigned to American Icon. Being used to the grand, open concept, multi-floor dining rooms of the other ships this seemed small and crowded. I had made reservations several weeks prior to boarding due to our large group and did not have to wait long. On one very busy night I requested to be seated in Silk dining room. I enjoyed the change in decor an Asian theme with lots of reds & goods. I was told menus are the same in all dining rooms. I would love to sail on Anthem again and try to get traditional dining to compare.

We had a nice time but not our usual great time. Onboard activities (trivia, napkin folding, scrapbooking, etc are getting boring) and it's time to come up with something new. Also, we were disappointed that there were no contingency plans to add indoor activities when it was raining outside on our last cruise day.

The food and dining service was awesome ! The shows were wonderful. The comedian was very funny. The hot tubs could have been warmer.
