Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas, touted as one of the industry’s most innovative ships, had an Inaugural sailing out of Cape Liberty, NJ for travel agents and media only to show off her greatness, and Pineapple Dream Vacations was onboard this feature-filled megaship.
 
The Anthem of the Seas boasts the same features as her sister ship, The Quantum of the Seas, including, RipCord by iFly, the first skydiving simulator at sea and North Star, a jewel-shaped capsule that raises guests up 300 feet above sea level for 360° views of world.  For all of you social media and internet junkies, this ship has ultra-fast internet, ladies and gentlemen, this is NOT your ordinary ship internet. We performed a test of streaming of video, uploaded and downloaded, the connection proved to be very steady and capable of handling the demand.

Before going on the RipCord by iFly ride, you will need to make reservations in advance and your first ride is free. Once you sign up, you will be taken to a changing area where you'll put on a "jump suit" and watch an instructional video.  Don't worry, there will be an instructor with you the entire time. The ride seemed to last about 60-90 seconds long.  We were told by a staff member that you can sign up for additional jump session for a fee. 
 
The Bionic Bar, featuring "Shaken" and "Stirred", the 2 robotic bartenders, that make the perfect drink based on classic cocktails, specialty drinks or custom drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.  Simply go to one of the several kiosks, scan your SeaPass card or your WOWband bracelet, choose or create the drink you'd like. Once you've completed your order you'll see your drink and you name (first name, last initial) on the display boards on either side of "Shaken" and "Stirred". Then you can watch the magic happen as your cocktail is perfectly made by the robotic bartenders.  Like luggage, many drinks look alike, so on the display boards it shows which robot is preparing your drink.  Once your drink is complete, simply go to the slot in which the robot placed it and scan your SeaPass card or you WOWband and the drink slides down to you.  Something to note, not just anyone can pick up a drink, it has to be the same person who scanned to order the drink that scans to pick up the drink.
