  • CORRECTION: In the video I stated that it costs $20 to ride the North Star. I was mistaken, the charges were for the North Star Bar and not the ride. All three rides are now free, the North Star, the iFly and the Flowrider.
    This was Day 2 of the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas 10-day cruise to Bermuda, Saint Maarten, Puerto Rico, and Labadee, Haiti. The video shows primarily around decks 15 and 16, from early in the day with calm seas to late in the evening with rough seas riding the wake of Hurricane Chris. It was a fantastic day!

      You are not alone on this, I think this is why some cruise lines have two separate areas for passengers who are willing to pay to be away from most of the crowd. On the Norwegian Cruise Line they call it "The Heaven." One must have an access card to enter these areas, which include cabins, pools, eating establishments, etc... Carnival Cruise Line has an area called, "Serenity." This area is accessible only to adults, no children...

While I was a bit disappointed with the ship layout on my last cruise, I still loved the itinerary and had a great time. I love travelling and this is the cheapest and most convenient way to visit multiple places and meet great people. A day at sea on any cruise is better than a day at work... any day... any time...

      Hey Arthur, Greetings! I felt the same way for many many years until a coworker talked me into going on one. That was 15 cruises ago! It's not as bad as it looks. Many cruise lines have adult only areas; for instance, on the Carnival Cruise Line, the area is called, "Serenity." On the Norweigan, the area is called, "The Haven." On the Haven, they do admit children but it is a restricted area so it is not as crowded as what you saw on the video. To me, the fun part is going to the comedy shows and getting off the ship at the various ports of call. I find cruising to be the cheapest way to vacation. Nowadays, there are very few places where you can spend a vacation with most everything included such as transportation, food, entertainment, and a nice room with a dedicated steward to clean up the room and make your bed a couple of times a day, all for an average of only $70-$100 per day. You should try it at least once! Like me, you may end up liking it. Take care, Arthur! Thanks for your comment

    • @Lealelan
      @Lealelan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      As others have said, you should try at least one. If you're here looking seems like maybe a little interest? I've only been on 4 cruises (3 to Alaska and 1 Caribbean) and cant speak highly enough about them. While the larger ships hold more people they also are "larger" so things dont feel crowded if you do them right. If you want to lay around a big public pool then yes they can be crowded. Last cruise we went on was on RC Liberty of the Seas and I splurged and got us an owners suite. The kids had a blast in the kids rooms and I mostly read on my beautiful balcony with large loungers like at the pool! With Alaska I cant recommend enuf and why we've done so many. It's an amazing way to see the breathtaking beauty of the state!

After all, you would want to go on a cruise to have fun and enjoy the company of like-minded people. I've never been on the Ovation of the Seas but I've watched many of its review videos on TH-cam. I'm sure you'll find an amazing and exciting crowd that will make your cruise memorable. I hope you post your cruise experience on the Ovation.

I hear they are beautiful! Your experience on the Holland America sounds exciting!

I do hope you get to experience cruising sooner than later. I thought about it for many many years, but once I tried it for the first time, I loved it and haven't stopped since.

But I'm still extremely impressed the way the anthem of the Seas handle a Hurricane most ships could not do that so although I feel the captain used bad judgment to put the people at risk like that you must still have a lot of Captain skills to be able to keep such a large vessel from losing control but I bet that Royal Caribbean never does that again

I was just not pleased with the layout at all, it was very disappointing. You are right, the walkways were toooooo narrow. There was no way one could freely use the jogging path unless you did it in the middle of the night. Even so, there were plenty of venues where, due to age restrictions, it wasn't as crowded as the open areas. Cruising is fun! It's all what you make of it, regardless of how crowded it might be.
