THE WORST ROOM WE’VE EVER HAD… | Anthem of the Seas Obstructed View Balcony Room Tour 6198

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators provide a tour of room 6198 on the Anthem of the Seas, which is an obstructed view balcony stateroom. They explain that they booked a guaranteed balcony to save money, a process where Royal Caribbean selects the specific room for the passenger. While they have had good luck with guaranteed rooms in the past, this particular room features a large, bright yellow lifeboat directly in front of the balcony. The tour begins with a detailed look at the bathroom, noting the two in one hair and body wash, the modern shower head, and the ample shelving and mirror space. Moving into the main cabin, the creators highlight the spaciousness of the room, including two separate closets, a couch, a safe for valuables, and significant storage via various drawers. They also point out the amenities such as the large television, a mini fridge, and a vanity area. The creators note that the room includes various plug types, including European and USB ports. Despite the view being obstructed by the lifeboat, they conclude that they are happy to have access to fresh air and daylight.

Creator's Key Takeaways
this is actually an obstructed view balcony room which means that we have a Lifeboat just out front of our balcony
unfortunately this time we weren't so lucky
the Lifeboat is not a preference it is a pretty big eyesore bright yellow and you can't see down into the water
that's okay we're happy to have the fresh air and some daylight
