I left May 10 for a B2B on Anthem, I just got home May 29. I was too tired to remember. Sorry, I'll get it corrected.

Crowded. And it wasn't due to the 1,000 kids on board the May 19 sailing. Only had one run in with some hooligans doing their shenanigans in an elevator. All venues were crowded, music loud, nothing to write home about in the dining room or Windjammer. Oh! Did I forget to mention that our Head Waiter told us that when Anthem is in Southampton they take lobster off the menu (I imagine you can still pay for it), we had no lobster on the second formal night. They replace it with extra large garlicky shrimp (prawns). Hot tubs on pool deck, in the Solarium, and the indoor hot tubs were always full. Saw We Will Rock You and wasn't impressed. Didn't like the sexual inuendo, didn't like the lead female singers nasally voice, didn't like they tried to put a lame plot line to it. Just do it like a concert please. Crown and Anchor benefits were inconsistently applied.

Thank you!  I’m not a fan of the newer classes of ships and have been very hesitant to try the Quantum class. This continues to solidify me not wanting to sail on one unless it’s a bucket list itinerary with not alternatives.

no problem

 

I love Anthem but I do agree with a couple of your comments.  I liked the swing mosaic bench in the front of solarium, and I love the Giraffe mascot.

 

I did not like the show in 270 but I enjoyed the area in 270.  Of course now, the upstairs balcony is for STAR class and Suites which is a bummer.

But do try Ovation in Alaska as it was a nice ship. Northstar still working unlike the other ship Quantum.
