Anthem of the Seas Alaska Review: 7 Nights w/ Steven, Carly & Theo

Episode 173

This week on Cruise Conversations, Steven, Carly, and Theo return to share their recent 7-night Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas!

Sailing round-trip from Seattle, the family experienced Alaska for the first time, visiting Ketchikan, Sitka, and Juneau, cruising through Endicott Arm to Dawes Glacier, and stopping in Victoria, British Columbia. From incredible scenery and wildlife encounters to memorable excursions, this was a family vacation unlike their previous Caribbean cruises.

In this episode, we cover:

• A full Anthem of the Seas Alaska review, including dining, entertainment, and family activities

• Exploring Ketchikan, from a scenic hike to Creek Street, salmon sightings, and the Lumberjack Show

• Ocean kayaking in Sitka and exploring the totem pole park

• Cruising Endicott Arm to Dawes Glacier and visiting Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls in Juneau

• Tips for planning an Alaska cruise, including excursions, balcony cabins, and packing

One of the biggest highlights was an early morning sailing through Endicott Arm, surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and icebergs. Despite fog nearly preventing the ship from entering, the family was fortunate enough to experience Dawes Glacier.

Back onboard, Steven, Carly, and Theo review Anthem of the Seas and Royal Caribbean's Quantum Class, including how it compares to Oasis Class ships. We discuss the SeaPlex, bumper cars, laser tag, entertainment, dining, and why Alaska cruising offers a different atmosphere from the Caribbean.

Whether you're planning your first Alaska cruise, considering Anthem of the Seas, or looking for family-friendly excursions, this episode is packed with firsthand experiences and helpful tips!
