I wouldn't worry about it.  I point out that even on Vision or Radiance class ships, you will find lines in the Windjammer, a packed pool deck, or line to get into MDR.  It's not to say smaller ships are empty, and lines and/or crowds can occur on any size ship.

I do believe that Quantum and Oasis class ships do a particularly good job at crowd control, especially after day 1.

@toodle68 I agree with Matt.  There are lines at times everywhere.  And keep in mind that I likely ran into spring break crowds.  The ship was sailing at full capacity.  However, I will say that I have cruised all 3 Oasis class ships, two of them in the height of summer and they never once felt as crowded as Anthem.  And on Anthem, it wasn't just certain times that was crowded.  It was always.  @twangster has been on Anthem 3 times and he mentioned that he did not find it too bad so it just might have been the time of year.  IMO, the worst areas on Anthem were the Esplanade and the WJ.  Also any event in the Sea Plex usually picked up huge lines.  They did have the fastest check in ever though...

When are you going?  A 5 night to Bermuda sounds wonderful!  I have never sailed that itinerary.  It's on my list.  Hubby and I just watched a vlog last night on that exact sailing.  It's really well put together and documented.  They sailed in May.  It's by @CruiseLifeRick and Our Two Suitcases and their squad.  Here are the links:

Oh wow, thanks for posting those. We are going 5/18/19. Combine it with a few days in NYC. We got one of the obstructed balcony rooms on deck 8 (not 6)..  those 5 days will get us to Diamond before our 10 day NewEngland cruise :)

This is a Family Junior Suite (FJ). The FJ on Anthem can sleep either 4 or 5. The ones on Deck 8 and 9 can accommodate 5 and the ones on the other decks only sleep 4. 

Powder room: Toilet/sink

Full Bath: shower with curtain ?, sink, toilet. One complaint is that there is a lack of storage in here. Shelves on the wall would have been great.

Following!  We're on the same itinerary on the Anthem this October.  I'll live vicariously through you for now ?

Wishing you good weather luck!  We just got dumped on pretty hard in South Jersey today, and they're talking about another storm this Sunday... You might have some snow on the ship for departure!

We are also on the same itinerary on the Anthem's Oct 27 sailing!
