Today was another sea day though this one we were expecting. We started the day by claiming our table again which was perfect as it meant we had a good spot not only to play the game but also a good spot for the first activity of the day which was The Captains corner.
Captains corner is an informal Q&A session where passengers can meet the master of the vessel and senior officers. We had our Captain- Captain Johan and our Hotel Manager Keith who spent an hour answering questions about the running of the ship. They were very funny and had so many stories about working on the ship. My favourite story was Keith was telling about when they were in Italy one time and had to tender into the port. He had just gotten off the tender when a storm kicked up and they had to cancel all tender boats for the rest of the day. Keith was stuck with 3000 people and to make it worse the ship couldnt pick them up with the seas being so dangerous. Keith had to work out how to get 3000 passengers to Geneva which was the closed port that didnt need tender boats.
We recieved a crab towel animal today and had lunch with my favourite view.
This afternoon I had booked somethings pretty special for Anthony and I to do. Anthem of the seas was one of the first ships to have an escape room at sea. Royal has this on a few ships and we thought we should give it a go. You are in a group with strangers and you have 1 hour to find all the clues and escape the room. We didn’t have high hopes for this, however it was really challenging and fun. We had a great bunch of people to work with and we all hyped each other up and worked together. We did it in 40 minutes. It was so much fun.
After all the excitment of the escape room we decided balcony time was very much in order.
Tonight was a solo Amy outing that I had been really looking foward too. Anthem of the Seas in one of the very few ships that runs a full Broadway Musical. They run We Will Rock You. We Will Rock You! is written by British-comedian Ben Elton, this hilarious award-winning and record-breaking phenomenon is built around 24 of the greatest hits of British rock legend, Queen. This musical was so good! I loved every minute of it. The following is the rough story line
The musical tells the story of a renegade group known as the Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought and culture in a vaguely Orwellian society where Musical instruments are forbidden, and rock music is unknown.
Such a great production better then any other musical I have seen on a Cruise ship.
