A SMASHING time on Anthem of the Seas and a prison visit 😬

Join us in episode 5 of our Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas series, where visit an old Prison and spend some time on the bumper cars in the Seaplex.
In this episode we are at the port of La Coruna, Spain. We have been here before, so this time we head to Saint Anton Castle (Castelo de Santo Antón) which had an entry fee of 2euro. Saint Anton Castle is a 16th-century fortress, which was also a prison for some time before being handed over to the city council in the 60s and now has exhibits featuring antique weaponry & other archaeological artefacts.
Back onboard Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas we head to the Seaplex to have a few goes on the bumper cars! These are free of charge and are on a first come, first served basis - after our time was up, we went straight around and queued up again and only had to wait 5 minutes or so.
The evening meal was at the speciality steak house, Chop's Grille - where we had some delicious food!
We hope you found this vlog fun and useful! If you have any Anthem of the Seas questions, pop them in the comments below!

💸 We paid full price (around £1015.00pp) for this cruise, on top of this we paid an additional £100pp for a 3 restaurant dining package and £40pppd for the deluxe drinks package.

🚢 About Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas
"Every day onboard Anthem of the Seas is like embarking on a whole new adventure. Yesterday's roller skating at SeaPlex is today's bumper cars, and tonight's mesmerizing roboshow at Two70 is completely different from tomorrow's Vistarama experience. You'll quickly find the fun doesn't fade with the daylight onboard Anthem of the Seas - in fact, that's when the real party begins. Think neon-lit skydiving sessions on Ripcord by iFly, immersive virtual vistas and imaginative cocktails at Two70 Bar, and savoring sips after soaking up 300-foot-high views at North Star Bar".
Anthem of the Seas stats:
Guests: 4,180
Launched: 2015
Class: Quantum-class cruise ship
Tonnage: 168,666 GT
Length: 347.06 m (1,139 ft)
Drone footage supplied by Royal Caribbean UK.
🐒🍌🚢 About Us - Who are the Cruise Monkeys?
We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby - the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us!
We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails).
We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal.
