Photos speak so much more about food than words often can. And since there's a lot of food to cover, here's a visual tour of some of the restaurants I had a chance to try during my Anthem of the Seas media cruise.

Chic restaurant

Chops Grille

An elegant steakhouse dining experience can be found at Chops Grille.

Izumi Japanese Cuisine

On our last night on the Anthem of the Seas cruise, we dined at Izumi Japanese Cuisine. It was truly a never-ending feast of incredible dishes!

Wonderland restaurant

Fall down the Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole into a modern, stylish restaurant full of inventive cuisine. I absolutely love this restaurant concept! 

Anthem of the Seas main buffet: Windjammer

Windjammer is the ship's main buffet. It is LARGE and has all of the basics – bread, salads, soups, sides, desserts – plus main entrees featuring cuisine from all around the world. Before you enter, there is a mandatory hand washing station, too. I have to admit: that did help put my germaphob mind at ease while dining here one day for a late lunch! There's also an entire gluten-free station, too!

Hungry yet? I know I am! I wish I could show you all of the AMAZING food and drink options on the Anthem of the Seas. Be sure to check out my video below for more drool-worthy food coverage.

In the next post in my Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas series, I'll share some of the awesome family fun onboard this amazing cruise ship.
