Anthem of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We have been to Bermuda several times, but we love the island. The water is fantastic, it is so clean. The people are very nice there. I love cruising because once I unpack I don't have to worry about anything. I can stay in my room and get room service or go to the restaurants that are superb. I don't have to worry about rushing to get to any place because I set my time to do things. It's so relaxing and that's what a vacation should be.

It was an Excellent Cruise. No Problems. Food and service in Windjammer was the best ever.

For those that look at all the activities and entertainment and think it makes a difference they are nice but in the end this is just a cruise and the requisite hustle and bustle lessens the experience. While RCI has done a good job in trying to minimize the feeling of crowdedness, it just doesn't quite get there. Evenings on the Esplinade or main meal times at the buffet are very crowded. The food is nothing special in comparison to other cruise lines and for those that want availability of food at any time, it probably will require a significant hike. Get a drink card...it will help but like most cruises be prepared for a push for extras. The entertainment is disappointing with limited options and/or reservations required. Other entertainment options are the usual cruise ship fare and nothing special. So while things like the flow rider and I Fly may be exciting, they are maybe 1/2 hour each and a very small component of your entire cruise experience...really not enough to make a difference.

Great entertainment, very clean ship. Dining in main dining rooms hit or miss. Suggest getting optional 2 day dining package to use when main dining menu is not to your liking.

Highs and lows, but overall disappointing due to poor entertainment, poor highly caloric drink menus, and specialty dinning that was not special. Buffet was average but tended to be poor due to lack of selection.

In the past I have been on other Royal Carribean cruises and have had all good experiences. Food has always been very good but not on this particular cruise. It was pretty bad. In the main dining on first night it took almost 2.5 hours with the meal and the steak and prime rib was so tough you could hardly them. Flavor bland. Never went back to the Main Dining Room and instead choose to eat at the Windjammer every day after. Again food not very good. Very, very disappointed in the food.

our waitress Luz Baez was so tentative and pleasant to be around. I wanted to take her home!!! Hope to see her again.

I am glad that I went on this trip,but will not do it again in October.

Loved our balcony room. We were on the port side with the Statue of Liberty and NY skyline in our view before we departed. We had to leave Bermuda 2 hours early due to sub tropical storm and all shows were cancelled for 3 days due to rough seas. All water excursions were cancelled in Bermuda also. You can book IFly and Northstar on board, that was the first thing we did upon our arrival on board.

Anthem of the Seas is a beautiful ship, with great shows and entertainment, and the staff give great service! We could definitely see ourselves on this ship again!

The entire staff from Captain to Cabin staff should be commended for their service/professionalism!

Great Fall cruise! The Ship, Anthem of the Seas, is well appointed but way to big for my wife and I. There were 4108 passengers and a crew of 1500 on board. Too much time spent standing in lines.

Nice ship, love to cruise from NJ as it is an easy 2hr drive for us. Would consider going on this cruise again in a few years as there is so much to see & do. Make sure to let Royal know if you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary ( our 40th) as the waiters sing and bring you a special extra dessert. We love children as we had five of them and 11 grandchildren (most under 7yrs of age) but we were thankful there weren't that many on this cruise compared to early December two years ago. (Many of the younger children just didn't have a very good time & would have been just as thrilled to go somewhere less crowded and less expensive.

I really enjoyed the cruise overall. It was just long enough for me, I was ready to get back home. All employees of RC were wonderful and left a great impression with me.

It was above and beyond our expectations !. the royal treatment was superb ! first.. all the r/c people we encountered from room maid to waiters to just crew people we passed in hallways were very friendly and considerate. service,food, entertainment choices, seminars , activities, all were well organized and professional [ and fun !]. food was really good.. not a bad meal, we will definitely be back ! with friends..

The ship was xlean, the crew was friendly and helpful, the food was good but not great. Chops was very good.

There is a lot of walking due to the lack of stairways and long waits for elevators. Our bathroom had a terrible Odor of old urine and it was not from lack of cleaning, our cabin was very clean. Due to the fact I waited to make copies of my reservation I lost $125.00 on borad credit and given a terrible excuse.

The staff of Anthem was as professional and friendly as you get. The interior design of the ship does not have the WOW FUN factor. Although elegant there is something missing. Shows were just OK, again technically sound and brilliant performances if not for the gift and comedians boring. Seaplex excellent from I fly to bumper cars, unfortunately no water slides in a limited pool area, the bubble was ok. All in all a 3.5 out of 5 (no outside walk around)

First time cruising with my son and his friends. It was great. One off my bucket list.

This was our third time cruising to Bermuda. We enjoy the shop and the port. Zero pressure to buy anything in Bermuda. Prices were in US$. We love to walk to The Frog & Onion bar and relax on the patio with a local microbrew or a Dark & Stormy. Then we walk to the glass blowing and rum cake shop. Best rum cake we've ever had.
