Anthem of the Seas - Video Review and Vlog

My vlog and review are uploaded onto Youtube at

It's long but inclusive.

Just watched the entire video and I loved it. It was very informative, better than all the so-called reviews or tours. We just booked Anthem for next September to Canada/NE and this was great to get us familiar with the ship. We were on Explorer 3 times, but not this class a ship yet. Thanks for the video.

What was the Voom pricing. Got a e-mail with the 30% discount. Wonder if it applies for pre-paid plans or is available on board. If it applies on-board it's much advantageous with the D+ perc.

They had several different package prices depending on how many devices you want to use and which service (cheaper for just email and surfing the net than livestreaming) I took the package for one device not using the streaming service and with my Diamond Plus discount it came to $25 for the entire sailing. I signed up onboard.

This ship looks and feels very different from the Explorer.

No comparison.

If I book on line it's $9.09 per day, with the 30% discount. On a 9 nite Anthem cruise and with the D+ perc ($60) it would cost me $21.81 ($81.81-$60). However, if I can get the same plan/cost it would cost me $12.72 with the other D+ perc of 1 free day ($81.81-$9.09-$60). Either way it's the way to go.

I'm not sure what plan you're looking at but mine came to $5 per day with D+ perc but only one device and no streaming capability. And it was worth every penny ;)

1 device with no streaming.

Can't wait to read this review. Been thinking about sailing on the Anthem.

Great ship.

I am super excited to watch your video as we will be sailing in 2 weeks. My question - is the Coke freestyle machines working? I saw earlier in the year they were not working on some cruise sailings. My kids are really looking forward to using those machines.

As far as I saw, they were working.

Can you apply the D+ discount if you've already bought the package online prior to sailing? Is it cheaper to buy it the first day or online?

No, the D+ discount can only be applied to purchases onboard.

I signed up onboard through the tv in my cabin. There was an option to apply a coupon (which is the D+ discount) however, it didn't give any details such as how much discount or what the coupon actually was for. There was a VOOM specialist at a table near the shore excursion desk there to help out so I asked them before signing up.

The D+ coupon(?) from the Quantum and Oasis sails was 1 free day of usage or $60 towards a package.

It may have been that. The sign up form on the tv in the room didn't give much information. It just said coupon. I had to go to the VOOM specialist to be sure my D+ discount applied. All I know is that it cost $25 for the entire 5 day cruise ($5 per day).

This ship looks and feels very different from the Explorer.

I can tell by your video and others I have watched. Is it different in a good or bad way or its just different period? Thanks for the video, loved it. It felt like we were on the cruise with you.

We really enjoyed your video. Just curious what kind of video camera you were using? The video quality and sound quality were excellent and you did a fantastic job filming!

Thanks for sharing!!

That would depend on personal opinion. I liked it better than the Explorer but I liked the Allure of the Seas more than the Anthem.

Thank you. I used a Gopro Hero 3+

We just finished watching your whole video. You did a great job! I esp. love seeing all the desserts! My question - the Anthem beach bag and sweatshirt you bought - were they on sale the last day? I saw on your video all those people were there for sales- was wondering if it was in that store as well. I really like the beach bag - thanks for taking us into that store!

First, thank you.

Second, no they weren't on sale. I got them in the logo store, which was surprisingly smaller than the logo stores on their other classes of ships. The items they had on sale are the same type of items they have on sale on all of their ships. Watches and jewelry, t-shirts, scarves, hats, etc. The day of that big crowd, they had a $10 sale.

That would depend on personal opinion. I liked it better than the Explorer but I liked the Allure of the Seas more than the Anthem.

Thanks, interesting and I guess the answer is we'll find out next year.
