Creator's Key Takeaways

my wife and I did a 12-day Caribbean cruise on this ship and we ate a lot of meals right here in this buffet restaurant

this is one of the better buffets we've encountered during our 35 cruises

anthem of the Seas has one of the smartest features I've ever seen at the entrance to their buffet

everyone that walks into the Windjammer restaurant and I mean everyone is funneled into this little room that has six sinks and everyone is required to wash their hands before they enter the restaurant

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I've been on 35 cruises and unfortunately, have come home from quite a few of them with a head cold, the flu, or a sinus infection. I've concluded that one of the primary reasons I tend to get sick on a cruise is that I eat most of my meals in the buffet restaurant... where 100 passengers before me have all had their hands on the utensils that are used to dish the food on to our plates. Anthem Of The Seas has a really smart design feature that I think was responsible for the fact that I came home from this cruise 100% healthy. In this video, I'm going to show you exactly what they've done different in the design of their buffet compared to every other cruise ship I've sailed on.
