Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Derek own and today was Monday May 7th 2018 and for us that was our second port O'Call the first in this stretch of three days of ports with our arrival in Phillipsburg st. Maarten today

I love it it's stunning it's huge she is a beast but she's our beast and I just think she's one of the most modern ships in the fleet

I am probably one of the luckiest most fortunate people in the world to do what I love and I genuinely genuinely love what I do

the captain seemed to find ways to avoid every bit that he saw and as for the sunrise today it was at 5:42 a.m.

YouTube Video Description

This is the 5th episode of theCruiseView's return sailing onboard the Anthem of the Seas. Unlike my other videos that feature the ship and let you enjoy the experience of being at sea without interruption, theCruiseView is a guided tour of the daily happenings during the cruise. This sailing features a second attempt at the Anthem of the Seas, this time with a 9 night Bermuda and Caribbean Sailing. Over the course of these 9 episodes you will get to see in detail every cruise compass, every main dining room menu, and all the happenings onboard during this special voyage. This series will take you into the day to day experience of being onboard the Anthem of the Seas with over 4,000 guests to experience every moment of life at sea and every festivity along the way. On today's episode we spend the morning at sea before having a windy afternoon stop at St. Maarten. Battered by Hurricane Irma just over 6 months prior the island nation is still recovering from the historic storm. Two70 James with the sounds of the islands with the Caribbean Island Night Party and guests play the latest Royal Caribbean Game Show as Name That Tune takes over the Royal Theatre. I also sat down with Clodagh O'Connor, the Cruise Director of the Anthem of the Seas to learn about her past and balancing work and life as she heads a family at home and a ship at sea.
