Anthem of the Seas Overview

The Anthem of the Seas can only be describe with one word – a thrillathon!

This ship is the nonstop adventure ride that thrill seekers have been looking for. Allowing even the most hyperactive of guests to enjoy their time at sea without feeling even the slightest bit of cabin fever.

Anthem of the Seas Amenities

The ship features a stunning array of exciting activities. Making it like no other cruise ship out there. Ripcord by iFly is the only skydiving simulator house aboard a cruise ship in the world. If that is not enough one of a kind adventure for you, the Anthem of the Seas also has bumper cars, featuring an onboard soundtrack spun by world-class DJs. Not to be outdone, the ship North Star set a world record as the highest viewing deck aboard a cruise ship. This was verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.

But that is not all…

The Anthem houses more activities than you can handle in any given day. This include a trapeze school, an outdoor rock climbing wall, scuba certification courses, a fully interactive escape room, and the FlowRider surf simulator. For those wanting to experience a live stage production, the ship offers Broadway at Sea. A medley of Broadway tunes, and We Will Rock You, a rundown of Queen’s greatest hits, as well as several original productions. Several bars and nightclubs, including the impressive late night pool party, give adults plenty of entertainment late into the night. While the Dreamworks experience, arcade, outdoor movie nights, and Adventure Ocean activities keep the family cruise feel alive and kicking.

Dining on Anthem of the Seas

For the foodies, there are dining choices abound on the Anthem, as well. Quick meals such as Johnny Rockets and Sorrento’s Pizza are available for those on the go, while sit-down venues like Jamie’s Italian, Coastal Kitchen, and La Patisserie offer everything from fine French cuisine to Mediterranean flavors.

The Anthem at Sea is not just another luxury cruise – it is an all-inclusive, family-friendly, adventureaholic paradise at sea.

Star Princess Overview

When you board the Star Princess, you are setting foot on a ship that set a new bar for the cruise experience. Featuring the first swim against the tide lap pool available on a cruise ship. The largest onboard casino at sea, and the first cruise ship wedding chapel. The Star Princess nails what it means to be a luxury cruise ship.

Star Princess

Perhaps the most intriguing feature of the Star Princess is the famed shopping cart handle protruding above the stern of the ship. This interesting focal piece of the ship design actually contains the Disco in the Sky. The design of this structure quickly became the ship calling card. Making it recognizable far from port.

Amenities

Two swimming pools aboard the decks of the Star Princess give guests options on their experience. One features a retracting glass canopy roof which allows swimming even during inclement weather. The other is a tier design that sits at the stern of the ship and overlooks the ocean below.

The mantra of the Star Princess is “Big Ship Choice, Small Ship Feel” and this is displayed in the nooks and crannies built into the ship to give voyagers quiet spaces and lots of privacy. The ship features a small library, a writing room, and a card room.

The younger voyagers are not left out, either. Kids have their own sacred spaces, including Discovery Camp, which features several age-appropriate areas. The Treehouse gives 3-7 year olds a whimsical, forest themed playroom complete with Discovery Channel themed activities. The Lodge is for children 8-12 and has an outdoor adventure theme and features skeeball, air hockey, California Science Center programs, talent shows, dancing, and more. Teens have the Beach House, a contemporary “hang out” lounge with hip-hop dancing classes, video game tournaments, and the Rock the Boat teens-only party.

When you book a cruise with the Star Princess, you are guaranteed to have the best of both worlds. Both a luxury and family cruise all aboard one ship.

Sea Princess Overview

“Big ship choice, small ship feel.” The 77,000-ton Sea Princess lives by the motto. In doing so, it has become the most adventurous and entertaining luxury cruise on the market.

Since most ships are unable to cruise along the equator due to their cumbersome designs, this cruise ship can sail anywhere. Alaska is a frequent destination for this all-weather ship.

Dining on Sea Princess

Guest with broad appetites will get spoil for the choices aboard the Sea Princess. The two main restaurants have split menus and styles. One is more traditional and formal while the other is more casual, “anytime” dining. In addition, the Horizon Court Buffet is a stellar alternative for those looking to hand-craft their meals, and the sit-down pizzeria is perfect for snacking and casual dining.

Sea Princess Amenities

Despite its cozy and intimate vibe, this ship is outfitted with “big ship” amenities. Sporting three full-sized pools, two showrooms, and a spa and fitness center. This cruise will not leave any residents dissatisfied by its entertainment options.

The Sea Princess balances the line between “Bachelor cruise” and “family cruise” quite expertly. The spacious casino, disco bar, and cabaret-style lounge are tailor-made for fun-seeking adults. While the private kid’s playrooms and computerized golf simulator are great for children.

The cabins are relatively small compared to other Princess cruises. The Sea Princess makes up for lack of size with one unique feature: its private verandahs. The design of the balconies has them positioned inside the ship. This helps to shield balconies from the weather while giving guests a panoramic view of the outside. For travelers yearning to see the beauty of Glacier Bay up close, these verandahs are meant for you.

At standard cruise prices, the Sea Princess may be smaller than its siblings but its adventurous spirit and “big ship” feel are more than worth the price of admission.
