Creator's Key Takeaways

we've just been in line for security for an hour and 15 minutes so actually in total about 2 hour and 15 minutes which is one of the slowest empire patients we've had out of six seven cruises

it was chaotic some of the staff didn't exactly know what was going on but never mind we're now heading to our cabin

first impressions are good good size actually nice couch down here

the star of the show have to be the crew they have just gone out of the way to make sure you're having the best time

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go onto the ship's Wi-Fi and book experiences as soon as you get on board
Return pool towels to avoid being charged

YouTube Video Description

Here’s our first experience of Riyal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, on embarkation day. Sadly, this wasn’t as smooth an embarkation as we’d hoped for but do things get better? Follow along as we show you how to embark, how to complete the new muster drill, a quick peep at our stateroom, a look at towel hire, the consequences of NOT returning them, a swim in the solarium, sail away, squid game scariness, drinks and dinner.
