Creator's Key Takeaways

we're on the road for our first cruise in 2023

it was about 40 minutes so not too bad considering we were the first check-in time

we have actually quite a large balcony

the new menu here on anthem of the Seas seems to be expediating things compared to the older menu

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in early for faster embarkation
Consider the water package for convenience
Use the pull-out desk for balcony dining

YouTube Video Description

Vlog 1 of our return to the Anthem of the Seas outlines our embarkation day. After sailing on Anthem OTS when she was brand new in 2016, we were excited to see how she has held up..... we were not disappointed! From on-board entertainment to food and fun, this was another amazing cruise with Royal Caribbean, sailing out of Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. Entertainers included pianist and entertainer Perry Grant, full production theatre shows, comedians and musical acts including the Las Vegas Tenors. Embarkation day was Super Bowl Sunday with lots of onboard viewing parties. Join us for this and our upcoming additional Vlogs from Anthem of the Seas!
