You’d had to be living under a massive rock not to know where Mummy and Boo plus Grandma are this weekend. We’re onboard Royal Caribbean’s brand new Anthem of the Seas for it’s pre-inaugural shakedown cruise and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve been spamming Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, you name it with envy inducing snaps of our amazing time.
We boarded just before noon yesterday and it’s been non stop adventure, discovery, fun and laughter. From skydiving on the iFly the only skydiving simulator at sea to sitting on our balcony enjoying the view with Boo while we chat about all the little things that matter in the big world of a three year old.
It didn’t take Boo long to discover the Adventure Ocean Club and she loved it, so much so that she clung on until the end, even when she fell asleep! Kids club in the evening gave us the perfect opportunity to explore the ship including the Casino, Spectra the cabaret show at the one and only Two70, and not forgetting dancing the night away at SeaPlex as it transformed into a night club complete with Lauren Pope as guest DJ for the night.
And can I just say I will never tire of seeing the sea, it’s the most relaxed I have been for a long time.
Alas our time onboard is nearly at an end and come tomorrow we will be sad to be back on dry land. I’ve never been on a cruise but already I love it so much – the staff, the ship, everything all help families create memories which after all is what they’re for – small finite windows of time to have as much fun with those you love the most and even though it’s only the smallest of cruises I’ve stocked my Mummy memory bank up.
There simply isn’t a word better than wow for our time onboard the Anthem of the Seas, thank you so much Royal Caribbean for giving us a tantalizing taste of what you cruising can offer. One things for sure, you’ve left us hungry for more…

What an incredible experience for you all. It looks amazing, I felt relaxed just looking at the photographs!
I went on a mini cruise to Norway & Sweden in 1999 when I was 18 and it was great, a tad stormy being winter, nbut it was a good experience too. I would love to go on a cruise like this one though! Fantastic x
Oh my, I’ve seen the pictures from a few bloggers all over my social media – I’m so jealous! Looks like an amazing adventure for you, great you’re enjoying yourselves x
I was due to go on this ship but has to cancel due to a bereavement. It does look amazing, I can’t believe they have a robotic cocktail maker and indoor skydiving!
Amazing! There is so much to do!

It was so lovely to share this experience with you and Boo is pretty damn awesome! LP loves her new friend. See you soon! x
What a fab opportunity! I’m not sure if a cruise is for us, I’d worry about feeling cooped in!!
It looks absolutely amazing! I used to live in Southampton and loved seeing the big cruise ships come into harbour.
This looks amazing! Mummy went on The Independence of the Seas for her 40th before I was born – and LOVED it! I would love to go on a ship one day x
oh wow that looks amazing. I wasn’t sure if cruising was good for children but this has opened my eyes to the possibility.
