I fell in love with Cruise

Vikki Wells on 23 September 2022
I don’t really know where to start because I could go on for pages but I’ll try and keep it as short and sweet as possible. Having never cruised before, we were amazed at how quick and easy it was to get through security and onto the ship, you don’t have to arrive hours before because you have a time slot and as soon as you step on your holiday begins straight away. We left our bags before embarking the ship and then they appeared outside our room… perfect!! Royal Caribbean's Anthem Of The Seas exceeded my expectations and I miss it so much already! The staff, the food, the entertainment, the destinations and mostly the beautiful views. When we arrived we found our room which was bigger than I imagined for a ship and it had an ocean view window which was lovely to wake up to everyday, especially when we woke up somewhere new most days, how wonderful and what a way to see more of the world <3 Windjammers is the inclusive buffet and OH MY GOODNESS it is incredible!! Everything we could wish for, lots of choice and such good quality too. They cater for every requirement and healthy options too, but it’s safe to say that I definitely made the most of the not so healthy options! Every time we visited, a member of staff was at the door who is always cheerful and even sings with his ukulele. “washy washy, happy happy” he says to make us smile as everybody has to go through the hand wash area first which I think is great. We visited a few other food places on board too which were also amazing. There are more luxurious dining options and also less formal, grab a bite options which is more us. We were in the Royal Theatre every evening, there was always a show on. We Will Rock You which is fantastic, magician, comedian, variety shows, tribute acts, orchestra and more. Then once that’s finished we would get our fix of THE BEST cookies we have both ever tasted, let me tell you that their oat & raisin cookies are unreal, myself and my husband could not get enough of them. Anyways, after the show we went to find more in other areas such as musicians, karaoke, quiz night and that’s not even mentioning the amount of activities on offer during the day. I attended massage taster session, ladies pamper party, gym class and more. There’s bingo, crafts … Anthem has a climbing wall, bumper cars, ifly sky dive, highest viewing point at sea, surf simulator, bionic bar and a huge giraffe on top deck named GiGi. There are children areas and adult areas. The technology on ship is fascinating. I disembarked that ship with a tear in my eye and the knowledge that I would 100% be back!
