We are on Anthem with the seas as you know by we. We've said it about half a dozen times today.

We've had a really good dinner tonight.

Use the viewing platform at the overseas passenger terminal to watch the ship arrive or wave goodbye.
Book a table against the wall in the main dining room for easier filming and conversation.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome aboard Anthem of the Seas! Our Sydney to Airlie Beach cruise adventure officially begins, but things don't quite go to plan when we arrive at the Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal and discover one very important thing is missing... The ship! Join us as we travel from Brisbane to Sydney, explore Circular Quay, check out recent airport upgrades, drop our bags, complete embarkation, board Anthem of the Seas and enjoy our first day onboard. We also visit Windjammer Marketplace, explore the ship, enjoy sailaway from Sydney Harbour, test GIGSKY connectivity, watch aircraft movements around Sydney Airport and experience our first dinner in the Main Dining Room. Unfortunately, we also encounter a couple of unexpected problems, including damaged clothing and an issue with our cabin shower. 🛳️ Ship: Anthem of the Seas 🌏 Cruise: Sydney to Airlie Beach 🚢 Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas - Arrival in Sydney https://youtube.com/live/qn9tn2cwieY?feature=share Sydney Harbour Cruise Ship Sailaway https://youtube.com/live/KPVIB4nKD48?feature=share CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:22 Late Cruise Arrival 00:42 Brisbane Airport Upgrades 01:32 Sydney Airport Train 01:55 Circular Quay Sydney 03:11 Cruise Bag Drop 04:45 Anthem of the Seas Arrives 05:39 Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal 08:27 Sydney Light Rail 08:37 Cruise Supplies 10:03 Cruise Embarkation 10:47 Cruise Boarding 12:06 Finding Our Cabin 12:41 Lunch in Windjammer 15:45 GIGSKY Preview 16:21 Plane Spotting in Sydney 17:39 Sailaway 18:18 Warning – Ruined Clothes 20:03 Shower Problems 21:14 Main Dining Room – American Icon 24:31 Starters 28:11 Dinner 31:08 Dessert 33:31 Outro If you enjoy cruise vlogs, cruise news, ship reviews and travel adventures, be sure to subscribe and join us for the rest of this Anthem of the Seas series. #AnthemoftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseVlog #CruiseLife #SydneyCruise #CruiseAustralia
