SKYDIVING and SHARKS on a cruise! 🤯 Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas

Join us as Anthem of the Seas arrives in our first port, La Rochelle. Gav goes skydiving and we even see sharks - all on a cruise!
We take the complimentary shuttle in to La Rochelle where we go and visit the La Rochelle Aquarium. Full details can be found at www.aquarium-larochelle.com/e...
We then make our way over to the Farris wheel known as La Grande Roue.
Once we get back onboard Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas, it's time for Gav to have a go on the skydiving simulator, Ripcord by iFly!
We finish the day off with a delicious meal at Jamie's Italian!
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.

That lemon meringue cheesecake looks like a bit of us 😍😋 we could probably just have 3 courses of that to be honest 😅 Also - yes to free sea sickness tablets! Other lines take note!
