Yesterday's roller skating at SeaPlex is today's bumper cars, and tonight's mesmerizing roboshow at Two70 is completely different from tomorrow's Vistarama experience. You'll quickly find the fun doesn't fade with the daylight onboard Anthem of the Seas - in fact, that's when the real party begins. Think neon-lit skydiving sessions on Ripcord by iFly, immersive virtual vistas and imaginative cocktails at Two70 Bar, and savoring sips after soaking up 300-foot-high views at North Star Bar". Anthem of the Seas stats: Guests: 4,180 Launched: 2015 Class: Quantum-class cruise ship Tonnage: 168,666 GT Length: 347.06 m (1,139 ft) Drone footage supplied by Royal Caribbean UK. 🐒🍌🚢 About Us - Who are the Cruise Monkeys? We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby – the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us! We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails). We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal. #RoyalCaribbean #AnthemOfTheSeas #cruise #cruisemonkeys #cruising #vlogs #vloggers #bloggers #cruisereview #review
