Anthem of the SeasSM is packed with a smorgasbord of first–at–sea innovations. Spanning 18 passenger decks and carrying a crew of 1,500, passengers are instantly impressed upon boarding.

First, head to the two–story Royal Esplanade for shopping, dining and loads of entertainment. And be sure to grab a drink at one of the quirky onboard watering holes. The Bionic Bar, for example, features robot bartenders. But it's not the only groundbreaking perk enjoyed by passengers on Anthem of the Seas. Try the skydiving simulator Ripcord and then check out North Star –– a gem–shaped capsule that rises 300 feet above the ocean, giving you a panoramic view.

Had enough of heights? Explore the casino, shoot some hoops at the basketball court or sneak in a sweat session at the slick fitness center FlyWheel. And make sure you don't miss out on the SeaPlex. With bumper cars, roller skating and a floating DJ booth, this is the ultimate place to be when not lounging by the pool. We put together this video to give you an even closer look at Anthem of the Seas.
