Planning a great getaway can be almost as fun as the trip itself — especially when you choose a vacation that takes stress — and unexpected expenses — out of the equation. It’s one of the many reasons why I love cruising. No other vacation option comes close to offering the same level of value and convenience as a cruise, especially when you choose to sail on a ship like Anthem of the Seas. Part of Royal Caribbean’s tech-driven Quantum Class, it’s a great option for adults, couples and families and offers one of the most well-rounded cruise experiences in the industry. And because it’s loaded with free things to do and free places to eat, you can bank on a thrill- or chill-filled vacation without spending a single dollar over your cruise fare.
If you’re an adrenaline-chaser, this ship will hit all the high notes. It offers some of the cruise line’s top-rated attractions — the FlowRider®️ surf simulator, the North Star®️ observation capsule and the largest activity space at sea, SeaPlex®️, to name just a few. If you prefer to spend your vacation lounging outside, you can look forward to a stellar pool scene that provides the perfect blend of lively fun and chill vibes. And when the sun goes down, the adventure continues with a dazzling lineup of Broadway-style shows, musical performances and more — all included in the cost of your fare. Here are just some of the top free things to do onboard Anthem of the Seas.
I’m the kind of person who likes to have something to look forward to every moment of my vacation. Fortunately for folks like me, this cruise ship keeps the fun going long after the sun sets. There’s always something happening onboard after hours — from Broadway-style musicals to game shows and late-night dancing. The ship’s entertainment lineup includes the Olivier Award-winning musical We Will Rock You by Ben Elton, as well as two original productions — The Gift and Spectra’s Cabaret. All three will dazzle you with their extravagant costumes and world-class choreography. If you fancy a whirl on the dance floor, head to Boleros for nonstop Latin beats. And if you’re craving a low-key night with your loved ones, grab a beach towel, claim a chaise lounge on the pool deck and settle in for a movie night under the stars. The ship showcases classics and recent hits on the giant projector screen located on Deck 14.
There are so many great free things to do onboard Anthem of the Seas, you might find yourself looking for longer sailings just so you have enough time to hit them all. From thrilling attractions and spellbinding entertainment to delicious eats and an awesome pool scene, this ship makes it easy to plan an unforgettable escape for less. Want to turn your trip into a true all-inclusive cruise vacation? Purchase a Specialty Beverage Package and enjoy unlimited drinks. You can also purchase a Specialty Dining Package for deep discounts on the ship’s a la carte restaurants.
