Anthem of the Seas®️ tops many cruisers’ lists for its cutting-edge features, award-winning entertainment and onboard attractions designed to wow guests of all ages. But one of the best things about this game-changing Quantum Class cruise ship is its unparalleled food scene. I’ve been on plenty of cruises, and I can confidently say that Anthem of the Seas serves up some of the best cruise food in the industry.
You’ll find a crave-worthy selection of complimentary and specialty dining options onboard — from quick and casual eateries to cruise fine dining that can rival any five-star restaurant on land. That’s also true of the food itself, which runs the gamut from authentic Italian cuisine to Mediterranean flavors, European-style pastries and classic American comfort food.
Whether you’re craving a juicy burger paired with a decadent, hand-spun milkshake, a gourmet brat loaded with all your favorite toppings, signature sushi rolls and teppanyaki apps or prime steaks seasoned and seared just right, you’ll quickly find that you’re never far from a wow-worthy meal when you sail onboard Anthem of the Seas. Here’s a rundown of some of my personal favorite cruise dining options onboard.
If you’re in the mood for an elevated dinner that’s also included in your cruise fare, head to the Main Dining Room. This beautiful venue serves as the setting for elegant, multi-course meals paired with five-star, white-tablecloth service. What’s more, the menu offers something for everyone — even the pickiest eaters. Dig into a flavorful New York strip steak or a slow-roasted prime rib, savor the crunch and crackle of southern fried chicken drizzled with Tabasco honey sauce and delight in the sweet, creamy richness of a classic Boston cream pie or Royal cheesecake. In addition to several staples that are always available, the Main Dining Room offers a rotating selection of global fare that changes every night.
