Day 2 - At Sea - Storm - Anthem of the Seas, Friday, Jul 13, 2018

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!

The storm isn't scary, the amount of people stuck in one place is.

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

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...

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

@mullah amin That's great Mullah Amin! I have been on 15 with one coming up this August. I love them all! Each one was unique in its own way. 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...

@@JoseHernandezOlivares That sounds pretty good Jose. Private areas on the ship where you can go to reclaim your peace is a good idea. Some people thrive on being in crowds and wouldn't go to a retreat even if it was free. But if you can afford it, it's important to calm your mind and heart when you need to.

While many have focused on the crowed lido deck and comment derogatively, they fail to see the fun and excitement one could have on cruises such as this. 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 KZbin. 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've never cruised the Pacific Northwest, but I have it in my bucket list. Who knows, we may find ourselves cruising on the Ovation one of these days.

I've never been on a cruise. It looks like being locked in a shopping mall for christmas week. Don't think I'll ever go on one.

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

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

[@MultiMattman68]

The biggest ship I sailed was the Queen Mary 2,we had about 2900 people on board, I never felt crowded in. This ship,Anthem of the Seas,I wouldn't waste my money. Too big,too many people A cruise BTW is a great vacation,I love them. The best cruise is a 7 day's to Bermud

[@brentbennett2796]

It's not that bad. I stayed away from the pools (not a chlorine fan) but the rest of the ship (depending on which you go on) is huge and plenty of separation. I loved it so much.

[@Lealelan]

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!

In my opinion, it is the best way to vacation. Never mind the negative comments you may read on KZbin about cruising. While I agree that at the beginning of this video it does look crowded, it actually wasn't. This particular ship is one of the largest at sea and since this was one of the first days at sea, most everyone was on the top decks enjoying the sun, the music, and all the entertainment, which was primarily geared towards kids and families. The remaining of the cruise was more balanced, with people spread out throughout the ship. If you look at the other videos from this cruise, you'll see that it was not as crowded as it appeared in this video. I'm sure you'll love cruising! You won't have to worry about cleaning, booking hotels, renting cars, and buying food as you must on regular travel vacations. The entertainment is free, with live music, discotheques, piano bars, etc., while sightseeing awesome places. When you go cruising, take lots of pictures and videos! You'll love watching them over and over again and smiling about the great time you had at sea. Thanks again for your comment and Happy Cruising!!!!

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

Hi Diane! Thanks for the compliment! The sea outside looked much rougher and stirred-up than what it felt on board. It got a little rougher later that evening. We were on the 11th deck. I was on our balcony enjoying the excitement when the splash of one of the waves got me wet. That's when my wife pulled me in and didn't let me go back out again. It was fun! One of the advantages of large ships is that they are designed with great stabilizing systems. It feels very calm and stable inside even though is rough outside.

Thank you for posting this lovely video. I started off looking for videos of Giant Waves, ended up here, now you have inspired my partner and I to go on a cruise next year :)

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

That's awesome Candee! Congratulations! I'm sure you'll love cruising. They are so much fun! There is so much to do onboard and of course, at each port of call. It is indeed one of the least expensive ways to vacation. You don't have to worry about transportation, parking, food, hotel, or entertainment as all is provided (except for alcoholic beverages), all for an average of $75 per night. We've cruised for as low as $45/night. Don't worry about some of the negative comments about how crowded it is. There are lots of places onboard that are not so crowded and much quieter, such as for adults only, no children, etc. if it's what you prefer. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a fantastic time on your first cruise.

@@JoseHernandezOlivares we've been watching all of the videos you posted about this vacation. We don't mind it being crowded, it's actually that very atmosphere that has inspired us to look into this further. The two of you seem so lovely. Once again thank you for sharing your videos and for replying.

Friday the 13th! How fitting!

[@meemee48larue22]

OMG...Too many people....🤯

[@Wendy-cx7ew]

What i dont like is you dont get long enough at the ports of call.

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

Hi Wendy! I totally agree with you. It seems like most cruises spend the least amount of time on the best ports and vise-Versa. We love going to the water park in Atlantis, but it seems like once you are starting to get comfortable, it is time to head back to the ship. Thanks for watching the video and posting your comment. I hope you get to spend extra time at your favorite ports of call on your next cruise. Happy Cruising!!!

BOY ! I COUD,T STAND THAT ONE DAY .

[@sheilajohnson6478]

If you don’t like crowds, NCL Cruises has several smaller ships that are way less crowded. I’m a little older and those are the ships I vacation on and love it!😍. By the way, you two are a nice looking couple.🙂

[@MsCathy42]

Yep, been in a storm coming out of Honduras. We all had to go inside.

Wow... amazing

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

Thanks for watching. Cruising is indeed amazing!

[@carolhogg6516]

Well said! Totally agree. 👍🇳🇿

[@AUSTOGO]

Love these big ships 😍🤩🙏

[@kanyaugatiejagwo]

What would you do if a lost walrus jumped out the water and grabbed you off the ship through that window at 13:41?

[@samwilkinson689]

It looks like there’s too many people on that boat,!!!!👁

[@spaghetti9067]

Sam Wilkinson there is normally like 3000 people onboard of the ships like that size sometimes 4000+ on busy cruises

[@simonhawker282]

Hi sam

[@sct4040]

Sam Wilkinson I hated my cruise on Royal Carribean, it was this crowded too. Never a quiet moment, announcements almost nonstop with nonsense all the time. Never again.

[@sbfhawk4343]

Same here I never been on a cruise and I do not think I will ever get on one. If i do its going to be in my own YATCH not a highly trampled ship. Plus I will make sure I ride out in good weather not Hurricane weather man.

[@johnnyhollis9977]

@@sbfhawk4343 Yes I concur, you would probably hate it which is a shame because they have really spoilt the cruising industry for many. The days of a peaceful exploration cruse for say 1200 passengers on a 46,000 ton ship are long gone. Now it's get them on the ship, cruise slowly and extract their $ as much as possible. It's very sad..... (Cruise ambassador for 50 years). All those people and constant noise would freak me out now!

[@chocolatecookie8719]

Got off Ovation yesterday. It costs $49 each to go up in the North Star. We didn’t go up. I would not sail on one of these big ships again. Too many people!

[@MsHantubelau]

Sounds and look like a nightmare with so many people cramped into one sapce like the one in the pool (even before the storm)

[@richardsodusta9926]

Nice cruise ship

[@needmetal3221]

Looks like a floating amusement park outside, probably floating casino inside. Both things available on land

[@jefffrei4671]

Not the beaches

[@peterlemonjello1626]

I can’t think of anything less I’d rather do than go on a cruise.

[@hsta9624]

I honestly don’t see the appeal

[@jefffrei4671]

The old addage "don't knock it till you try it".

[@STERLING430]

Why do those people look like people that got the upgraded Walmart pass

[@giuseppepetronio8736]

Tres belle vidéo.

[@MeadowDay]

Excellent!

[@stuartlee6622]

I wouldn't be caught dead on something like this! It's like New Jersey on the seas.

[@c5back9]

LOL at 1:15 you turned the camera toward yourselves and I instantly thought to myself... Hmm... I’ve seen these two on a ship before, so I started to think about the recent cruises I’ve been on. A couple of seconds later I realized I’d seen another of your videos. Senior citizenship is fun. You meet people you don’t know all the time. Some more than once.

[@JoseHernandezOlivares]

Greetings c5back9! You know, I always look for other KZbin videos posted about the same cruise just to see if I recognize any of the folks I see on my videos. I think it's great when I do recognize someone. I am still trying to find myself on one of their videos but I haven't yet. You are right! citizenship is fun! Happy cruising!

[@anotherbear45]

Looks so noisy and crowded. Hell on Earth.
