What could be better than starting your day with delicious dishes delivered to your door? Anthem of the Seas room service means you can savour every meal in the comfort of your cabin if you so wish. The continental breakfast items on the room service menu are complimentary but you can upgrade if you want something a little heartier.
From delicious sushi rolls to fresh sashimi, Izumi is the perfect spot for lunch. Offering an exotic Asian-inspired dining experience, you can savour izakaya-style appetisers and rolls hand-crafted by award-winning chefs. Keep an eye out for the prawn tempura, octopus yuzu chimichurri and yaki udon.
Be transported to pastry perfection at La Patisserie, a French-inspired café located on Deck 4. Flaky macarons, tantalising petits-fours and rich artisan chocolates all await for an afternoon pick-me-up. You must try La Patisserie’s famous ‘Stackaroon,’ an assortment of eight traditional French macarons with incredible flavour options including strawberry-lemon, green tea and violet cassis.
You’ll be taken on a culinary adventure the moment you step foot in Wonderland, where every dish has been designed to tantalise your taste buds. You’ll be asked to brush the menu with a paintbrush dipped in water and watch as each dish (all of which are based on the five natural elements - earth, sea, fire, ice and sun) appears on the page. This is one truly unmissable dining experience.
Begin your day of relaxation with an awakening yoga class at the Vitality℠ Fitness Center on Deck 16. Stretch out your muscles and take a moment to set your intentions for the day. Alternatively, get the heart pumping at a Pilates, spin or sculpting class.
Anthem of the Seas’ adults-only Solarium, perfectly positioned at the front of the ship, is the ideal place to relax. The crystal canopy, which provides impressive panoramic views, stays warm while you swim some lengths in the pool, dip in the whirlpool or laze on a lounger. The cascading lagoons act as a comforting backdrop to a morning filled with ‘you’ time.
Every dish at Solarium Bistro highlights fresh ingredients and Mediterranean flavour. A bright and breezy gastronomic getaway at sea, the bistro is an ideal spot for lunch. Tuck into fresh mussels and crisp Greek salad, nibble on pita bread with homemade tzatziki or savour tender lamb chops.
A day of pure relaxation is incomplete without a massage. As part of Anthem of the Seas’ Vitality program, you can enjoy many ways to treat yourself including a full body massage, a renewing facial or a full-body wrap designed just for you. Add a bit of romance to your day of relaxation with a couples spa day.
Who thought it would be possible to have a rock climbing wall at sea? Royal Caribbean have imagined the unimaginable with their 12-metre-high rock climbing wall. Situated on Deck 15, the view at the very top of the wall is worth every step.
Being a thrill-seeker is hungry work! Why not stop off for lunch at Windjammer before continuing the adventures? Taste your way around the world at this included buffet option where, no matter what kind of dish you fancy, you’ll find something worth trying. Enjoy pressed paninis, flaky pastries and hearty omelettes.
Defy gravity at the RipCord® by iFLY® on Deck 16. With the wind in your face and adrenaline pumping around your veins, the rush you’ll feel while skydiving will be like no other aboard Anthem of the Seas. Booking is advised as this attraction is super popular.
You don’t need to travel as far as Australia to catch a wave - the surf’s always up on FlowRider®, Anthem of the Seas 12-metre-long surf simulator. Grab your board and get ready - 100,000 litres of rushing water are headed your way. Will you carve like a pro or just manage to stay upright?
