Sail away with me

Recently, I had the pleasure of embarking on a memorable journey aboard the Anthem of the Seas, one of Royal Caribbean International's premier ships.

The Ship The Anthem of the Seas is a marvel of modern engineering and luxury. As one of the Quantum-class ships, it boasts a range of innovative features that make it stand out. The ship's design is sleek and contemporary, with spacious public areas and elegantly appointed staterooms. My cabin was a comfortable retreat with a private balcony, perfect for enjoying the stunning ocean views.

Dining One of the highlights of the cruise was the exceptional dining options. From casual eateries to fine dining, the Anthem of the Seas offered something for every palate. I particularly enjoyed dining at Jamie's Italian, where the fresh pasta dishes were a delight. The Windjammer Marketplace was another favourite, offering a diverse buffet with flavors from around the world.

Entertainment Entertainment on the Anthem of the Seas was nothing short of spectacular. The ship featured Broadway-style shows, live music, and even a full-scale production of the musical "We Will Rock You." The Two70° venue was a unique space that transformed from a daytime lounge with panoramic ocean views to an immersive theater at night, featuring breathtaking digital performances.

Activities There was never a dull moment on board. The Anthem of the Seas is equipped with a host of activities, from the exhilarating RipCord by iFLY, a skydiving simulator, to the North Star, a glass observation capsule that offers 360-degree views from 300 feet above sea level. I also enjoyed the FlowRider surf simulator and the SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space at sea, which features bumper cars, roller skating, and more.

Destinations Our itinerary included stops at several beautiful ports. Each destination offered its own unique charm and adventures. From exploring the historic streets of Nassau in the Bahamas to relaxing on the pristine beaches of Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island, each port visit was a highlight of the trip.

Service The service on board the Anthem of the Seas was exceptional. The crew members were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure that every guest had a fantastic experience. Whether it was our stateroom attendant who greeted us with a smile each day or the dining staff who remembered our preferences, the personal touches made a big difference.

Final Thoughts My cruise on the Anthem of the Seas was an unforgettable experience filled with luxury, adventure, and relaxation. Royal Caribbean International truly knows how to create a magical holiday . If you’re considering a cruise, I highly recommend setting sail on the Anthem of the Seas. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
