Anthem of the Seas deck plans

Anthem of the Seas (2015-built, last refurbished in 2020) is the second of the Quantum-class Royal Caribbean cruise ships (the project’s former name was “Project Sunshine”) - together with Quantum of the Seas (2014) and Ovation of the Seas (2016).

Note: CruiseMapper's Anthem OTS deck plans are valid for 2023-2024 (through October 2nd).

Anthem of the Seas cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 2091 staterooms for 4168 passengers (max capacity is 4825) served by 1300 crew-staff. The boat has 16 decks (15 passenger-accessible, 9 with cabins), 18 dining options (restaurants and food bars), 4 swimming pools (1 covered with retractable roof), 10 outdoor Jacuzzis (whirlpool hot tubs), 16 elevators, Rock Climbing Wall, FlowRider.

In comparison to the fleetmates, Quantum ships don't have the following signature RCI facilities: Ice Rink, Bowling, Zip-Line, Water Slides, Rope Course, Golf Simulator, Boxing Ring, Smoking Lounge, Royal Viking Crown (Observation Lounge). The traditional Royal Promenade is replaced by a 2-decks high walkway (location decks 4-5, connected with staircases). The new walkway passes through the center (roughly half of the vessel’s length). New dining venues replace RCI’s traditional Main Dining Room concept and serve the new “Dynamic Dining” concept.

Several dining venues replace the traditional Main Dining Rooms with the Royal Caribbean’s new “Rotational Dining” system. This was implemented to replace the previous “Dynamic Dining” concept. The new Rotational Dining system allows guests to dine at different restaurants (complimentary venues only) each night on the ship (based on a rotational dining schedule). Just like on Disney ships, Anthem cruise ship passengers are served by the same wait staff and enjoy the same table companions each evening.

In March 2018, due to contract conclusion (between RCI and celebrity chef Michael Schwartz), the Anthem ship's "Michael’s Genuine Pub" (midship on Lobby Deck 4) was renamed to "Brass and Bock Pub".

All Quantum-class "WOW ships" feature numerous unique facilities and onboard activities (never available at sea before), including:

• the “RipCord” (located on deck 16) – the sky-diving simulator
• the “North Star” (located on deck 15) – the above ship observation capsule for 360° ocean views
• the “SeaPlex” (located on decks 15 and 16) – the bumper cars in the largest sports complex at sea
• “Two70°” (located on decks 5 through 7) – big-size LED screens and glass walls allowing live panoramic views
• the new Interior cabin type called “Virtual Balcony” (decks 7 through 11)
• new Studio cabins with balconies (with single occupancy rates for solo travellers)
• multi-million dollar onboard art collection
• RFID cabin door locks and RFID wristbands (an optional choice to replace the traditional SeaPass cards) allowing passengers to purchase items on the ship and access into their cabins. The new wristbands are placed in envelopes in the passenger rooms.

Newest entertainment option on Anthem OTS is the “Escape the Rubicon” - an interactive gaming room (aka Escape Room) part of the Fuel Teen lounge on deck 15. The participants are locked in the room and must work together to solve puzzles, find hidden clues and eventually find the key and escape the room. The game’s capacity is 6-12 players. The team-building experience lasts between 60-90 min.
