Creator's Key Takeaways
I honestly preferred all of the other restaurants on board over Anthology.
It was good uh and it was definitely fine dining. It was beautifully prepared. The service, apart from the little issue we had, was superb.
My palette and my taste has kind of been ruined by a lifetime of spicy curries and spicy Asian food. So I didn't get that fine dining aspect of it.

After showing each course, I share what we thought of the meal overall. For my palate, shaped by years of spicier Asian food, Anthology felt a little underwhelming — almost like an emperor’s new clothes scenario.
