We loved the Anthem of the Seas on our recent Transatlantic. The ship itself is a marvel of modern engineering, boasting a wide array of amenities that cater to all ages and interests. She is a unique ship with lots of different bars and areas to hang out. The ship is truly breathtaking, offering numerous events and a wide array of entertainment options, each impressive in its own way.
We loved participating in the daily quizzes and made sure to try everything out onboard. Dining options were diverse and consistently good, with lots of choice including various buffets and specialty restaurants. Entertainment was top-notch, from Broadway-style shows such a “We will Rock you” to the innovative RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator.

Featuring The North Star
The North Star is a glass observation capsule that rises over 300 feet above sea level, offering 360-degree views. We tried this on a sea day as we were on a transatlantic cruise, and it was amazing views, I think a port day would be even better!
RipCord by iFly
RipCord by iFly is the first skydiving simulator at sea. Did you know that you could get a real sky diving experience onboard a cruise ship? The RipCord by iFly is a skydiving simulator that allows guests to experience the sensation of free-fall in a controlled, safe environment. We tried the Ripcord on Anthem of the seas and it feels just like a real skydiving experience that you can do without jumping out of a plane!
The Rock Climbing Wall on Anthem of the Seas
The Rock climbing wall on Anthem of the Seas was one of the best I had seen. Great views of the ocean and a quirky full size giraffe overlooking your climb.
The Seaplex
The Seaplex is the largest indoor activity space at sea, featuring bumper cars, roller skating, and a trapeze school.

The FlowRider is Anthems amazing surfing simulator. The FlowRider is a huge feature for sports lovers on many Royal Caribbean ships. It’s an exhilarating 12-metre-long surf simulator with 100,000 litres of rushing water, pumped at 30,000 gallons to create a simulated surfing experience wave that moves at 20 mph.
Bionic Bar
Bionic Bar is the bar where robotic arms mix and serve drinks. Imagine having your drinks served by a robot? Tapping in your drink choice on an electronic pad and then being served a shaken cocktail by the hands of an electronic arm! Well here you can!
