Cabin 11230 · Anthem of the Seas

Cabin 11230 sits on Deck 11 of Anthem of the Seas, and it sits midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The nearest is the aft lift bank, port, and that is 9 cabins away down the corridor. That buys you quiet. It also means a proper walk with your bags on embarkation day. Anthem runs four lift banks on most decks, a port and starboard pair forward and another pair aft, with two on deck 16. Conventional lifts with call buttons in the lobby and deck buttons in the car. Worth knowing: the cars are quiet, the lobby is not. A cabin beside one hears doors, waiting conversation and footfall in the corridor, heaviest when a show lets out and after the late dinner seating. Quiet comes out at 7 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 167 cabin positions on Deck 11, this is the 101st from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door. You share Deck 11 with Adventure Ocean. There are 273 cabins along this deck, so the corridor is a long walk end to end.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 88 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 80 per cent of them. It suits travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who wakes when a door closes.
