I enjoyed the ship. However, there were not enough activities for 18-20 age group. I also find Royal Carribbean has made many changes costing additional unnecessary expense to its passengers. by MelFitzgerald

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Basically I enjoyed the cruise the length as well as the ports of call. Anthem of the Seas is a beautiful ship. There are plenty of spaces on deck to enjoy the sun. The food service was great, but the menu deserves a little more variety. The main show in the Two Seventy lounge was mediocre. However, the Tenors show made up for it.

An entirely New Cruise Experience by BandTJ

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Cruising was always my wife's thing and I was pretty well cruised out until this one. Anthem is worth a try, but read up before or you will be totally confused, and worse, you will miss all the best activities.

Misereable experience by bbulson87

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had on a cruise. I will never book another cruise with Royal Caribbean again. The entertainment was minimal, and other cruises had shows comparable to Broadway. The food was horrendous, and caused an upset stomach to my entire family. When this was brought to the guest services attention, they called it a virus and quarantined me to my room causing me to miss the port in St. Marten. Their attempt to compensate this was to offer me a one day credit towards another cruise, which is completely useless considering I will never waste $6000 on another miserable experience with Royal Caribbean. I will never recommend Royal Caribbean to any friends or relatives.

10 night cruise by jklein067

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

I would never use again! Booking for 12 nught and using someone else. We cruise 2x yr and you have not been good to us. Bermuda was the best. The staff most on Anthem and the guests were rude.

Don't sail on Royal Caribbean if you have already sailed on Celebrity by cheryl1950

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Bermuda

As I said, if you have sailed with Celebrity and liked it, this line is not for you. NO welcome drink, bathrobe, room service for early morning coffee, or small amenities like body lotion etc. Additionally, there were no hamburger/hot dog grill bars near the pool. Only Johnny Rockets where you pay full price. Elevators were terrible.

Very good cruise by mjmpugh

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

It would be beneficial if Royal Caribbean were trained by Norwegian on how to provide the best customer experience. Our room key was left at the door of the room instead of given to us during embarkation. The shops could not charge my room cards during the first day of the cruise due to some system issue. Some one from guest services kept calling my room to get me to eat at Wonderland which didn't have an appetizing menu. The bathroom door in my stateroom was broken along with two of the dresser drawers. It took three times for me to complain before any resolution. The climate controls in the room stopped working and when the repair man came he complained that we woke him up to fix this issue and he did not want us to bother him anymore that night.

The trip wasn't worth the money!! by sepp520

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

The food was sub par, the ship wasn't that clean, some ports were absolutely horrible, and there wasn't a lot of entertainment on the ship and to pay what we did it just wasn't worth it at all.

It was an excellent nine days, and my family enjoyed every second of it. The ship and everyone was wonderful, and the excursions and guides were right on schedule.

Relaxing by sktj42

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Bermuda

Weather wasn't so great when we left the port but when we finally reached Bermuda there was the sun. The first night we ate in the main dining room which was great. Windjammer had great food everyday all day, which is where we all chose to eat for the rest of the week. Our room was cleaned and restocked twice a day which was great for us. My favorite show was Spectra's Cabaret !!! Great show!!!

Excellent cruise on the Anthem. Loved every minute of it. The services, the staff, the ports, the food, and the ship were all fantastic. I loved the Solarium area in particular.

Great Cruise for Families by patpepe

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

The cruise was nice and offered a lot, but it wasn't the cruise for us. We mainly chose it for the debarkation location so we could drive there easily. We are retired and didn't seek out many strenuous activities that were offered. But, we took advantage of the activities that we wanted. It was a nice relaxing trip with great (too much) availability of food. One negative was that I felt that someone was always trying to sell me something and that turned me off. I would prefer keeping the "hawking" to one area away from the small cafes.

5th cruise with royal Caribbean and was worst I've been on. Will either go back to smaller ships or try a different cruise line. Not as good as they used to be.

Relaxing Caribbean Cruise by BoozeCruzer17

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Very nice cruise, but there is much room for improvements. Didnt feel 100 % satisfied after having to spend over $8k for 2 cabins, yet RC still expecting u to spend lot more $ due to the fact that many things are not complimentary & if are, could not utilize or book usertime.. ***Beverage package issues.. Great delux package for $39/day, but found your service to be a full time job on my part to review my invoice daily for drink charges that were covered on the package deal. Guest services consistantly credited drink costs, but I had to do all the reviewing or I would gave been charged for these drinks. Invoices should be screened daily by your staff & corrected accordingly w/o guests having to do the work for you. Actually had to work on vacation whether it was standing in guest service line or waiting on the phone to administer corrections?.. not acceptable on a expensive paid vacation! We did enjoy the cruise & did relax, but I will not respend this type of $ for this ship/ services. Its grades lower than your Oasis models...

Very frustrating by jrosspt1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Bermuda

Very frustrating experience. I am fighting to get my money back. There was nothing about this trip that was easy or user friendly for someone who has a disability and can only walk short distances. On a five night trip I was talking and visiting with guest services at least 7 times and ended up in tears. Some relaxing cruise!

Outstanding Anthem by sschluss

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Anthem of the Seas / Destination: Bermuda

Cruise was fantastic, so many options (both complementary and for a fee) that you could never be bored. Didn't seem crowded except in Windjammer and sometimes elevators.
