Firsts At Sea
RipCord by iFly: This is where you can experience the exhiration of actually flying!
The air machine gives you a controlled and comfortable environment to do it in while you feel an adrenaline-rush you never thought you’d experience at sea.

Enter the jewel-shaped capsule to gently and slowly ascend 300 feet above sea level! The views are so much more breathtaking than you’d ever imagined.
Bionic Bar: Have you ever had a robot make you a cocktail? Anthem of the Seas makes this happen on a daily basis!
Take your pick from over 30 concoctions (or create your own) and watch the robotic arms shake up your drink right in front of your eyes. It’s something else.

Complimentary
Anthem treats you to an authentic New York pizzeria experience in the form of Sorrento’s, along with the Windjammer Marketplace that invites you to explore every corner of the world through food.
The SeaPlex Dog House is a definite go-to to grab gourmet hot dogs in between rollerblading in the playful space whereas Coastal Kitchen is exclusively for suite guests and pinnacle members, offering a mix of Californian and Mediterranean influences.
Cafe Promenade is the perfect stop for a hot drink, pastries, snacks and sandwiches whilst the Cafe at Two70 is where you’ll go for a gourmet marketplace with a brilliant view.
For a fee
