Anthem of the Seas

The ship

Two70, North Star, SeaPlex

Anthem of the Seas joined Royal Caribbean in 2015 as a Quantum-class ship: about 158,000 GT with room for roughly 4,200 guests. Two70 is the evening landmark — a transforming lounge with robotic screens and live performance. North Star lifts a glass capsule above the ship for views, and SeaPlex covers indoor sport and entertainment when the weather turns. She is Quantum thrills, not Oasis neighbourhoods.

Complimentary restaurants and Windjammer cover included meals. Specialty dining is the paid layer, among them Chops Grille, Wonderland and Izumi. Drink packages and cover charges sit outside the cruise — price those before you book.

Evenings run from Two70 and the main theatre to bars and the casino. Daytime is North Star, SeaPlex, the pools and Adventure Ocean for children and teens. She suits UK bookers who want modern Royal hardware with a Southampton habit in the mix.

On board

Two70, thrills, dining

1. 01

   Dining choice

   Complimentary dining rooms and Windjammer cover included hours. Specialty nights worth booking early include Chops Grille, Wonderland and Izumi. Book sea-day tables early — Quantum crowds notice the same evening slots. Café and casual corners fill between meals.

2. 02

   Two70 and the theatre

   Two70 is the transforming evening space many guests remember first — screens, live performance and a lounge that changes shape through the night. The main theatre runs production shows and guest acts. Programme titles change by season, so check your sailing. Arrive early for a good seat on headline nights.

3. 03

   After dark

   Bars, music lounges and the casino cover the later hours. Drink packages sit outside the cruise — decide what you will actually drink before you buy a package. Quieter corners exist if you want conversation after Two70 without the full volume.

4. 04

   Thrill deck

   North Star capsule rides, SeaPlex sport and the pool decks own daytime. Some experiences may carry a fee or timed ticket depending on sailing — check what is included. Queues build on sea days for North Star; book or arrive early if the view matters.

5. 05

   Kids

   Adventure Ocean and youth spaces run age-banded programmes that shift by sea day and port day. School-holiday weeks feel busy. Families who will use the clubs, SeaPlex and Two70 nights get the most from Anthem.

Fit

Who Anthem is for

• UK and international bookers who want Quantum thrills — Two70, North Star and SeaPlex — especially when Anthem sits on Southampton-relevant seasons.
• Families and couples happy to budget drinks and specialty dinners rather than expect every restaurant to be included.
• Not the ship if you want Oasis neighbourhoods, quiet adults-only British tradition, or a small mid-size map. Choose Oasis, a classic UK line, or Voyager instead.

Where

Where Anthem tends to go

Quantum ships rotate through Caribbean, Europe, short breaks and repositioning. Anthem has often featured in UK-relevant seasons. Bases and routes shift year to year.

Treat this as the ship’s range, not a fixed timetable. When this guide is public, sailings with two or more UK agent prices will sit at the bottom.

Before you book

Quantum fees Anthem may still charge

• Specialty dining, drink packages, some thrill tickets and spa access sit outside the cruise. Price the holiday as the cruise plus what you will actually buy.
• Compare UK agents on the same sailing — same ship, same date, cruise-only, two guests. The hero price should be the lowest bookable one, not the first logo you recognise.
