DINING
​(MAIN DINING ROOMS)

Anthem of the Seas does not have a single main dining room.  Instead, it has four 
themed-restaurants,  The decor of each venue is different but the menus are the same. ( A fifth restaurant, Coastal Kitchen, is exclusively for guests staying in certain suites.  Coastal Kitchen is discussed separately below).

Of the four general restaurants, American Icon and Silk (depending upon demand) are open for breakfast and lunch (sea days only).  This is done on an open seating basis.

For dinner, guests have a choice of a traditional cruise ship system or a flexible dining system.  Each passenger selects the system when he or she wants when they book the cruise.  However, sometimes a passenger can switch from one system to the other by speaking with the maitre d' onboard.

Under the traditional system, each guest has an assigned table at either the early or late seating.

Under the flexible system, guests can come to dinner at any time the restaurant is open.  However, they are not guaranteed to have the same table each night.  To avoid waiting for a table, Royal encourages but does not require guests to make a reservation.  The reservation can be for the same time or a different time each night.  Royal attempts to seat guests so that they have the same wait staff each night. 

Each of the restaurants uses the same menu.  The menus are changed as the cruise progresses.  (See our menus page).   
When the ship first entered service, Royal experimented with a new dining system called Dynamic Dining in which each of the four main restaurants had a different theme.  The system did not work out but the decor remains. Thus, the American Icon Grill has a decor that recalls American landmarks and popular culture.  
Chic was the progressive, cutting edge restaurant so it has a contemporary decor.  
Anthem of the Seas, The Grande restaurant
The Grande was the traditional formal restaurant and so its decor looks back to the luxury restaurants of the 19th and 20th centuries. 
Silk was the Asian-inspired restaurant.
The Coastal Kitchen is Anthem's answer to the Haven Restaurant on Norwegian's Breakaway class ships and the Grills on the Cunard ships.  Access is limited to guests staying in certain categories of suites with the idea of providing a premium dining experience for those paying for the top cabins.  The decor is California casual.  Coastal Kitchen is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
