Anthem of the Seas Cruise Compass Daily Planner
The Royal Caribbean Cruise Compass is one of the most useful resources for seeing what actually happens onboard during a cruise. Each day’s planner provides schedules for activities, entertainment, live music, fitness programs, shopping events and other things happening around the ship.
The Anthem of the Seas daily planners below are from Days 6 and 7 of a seven-night Bahamas and Perfect Day cruise that departed Cape Liberty, New Jersey, on March 17, 2024. The itinerary included Port Canaveral, Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay before two consecutive sea days on the return to Cape Liberty.
Both planners are from those final sea days, providing a particularly good look at how much Royal Caribbean schedules when passengers have an entire day onboard Anthem of the Seas.
Anthem of the Seas Day 6 Daily Planner
Day 6 was Friday, March 22, 2024, and the ship was at sea.
The schedule started early, with fitness activities beginning at 7:00 a.m. and entertainment options appearing throughout the morning. By late morning and afternoon, activities were taking place across many areas of the ship, including SeaPlex, Music Hall, Two70, Schooner Bar, Boleros and the pool deck.
Day 6 Activities and Entertainment
The Day 6 Cruise Compass shows how Royal Caribbean fills a sea day with different types of onboard activities rather than relying on one or two major events.
Among the activities listed were:
- Morning 5K
- Aqua Aerobics
- Stretch and fitness classes
- Rock climbing
- Adult pickleball
- Trivia
- Progressive trivia
- Name That Tune
- A scavenger hunt
- Poolside activities
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Bumper cars
- Superhero trivia
- Adult dodgeball
- Family Gaga Ball
- Karaoke
- Silent Party
- Movies on Deck
SeaPlex was especially active throughout the day, hosting sports and games including basketball, soccer, dodgeball and bumper cars.
Anthem of the Seas is a Quantum Class ship, and SeaPlex is one of its signature attractions. Royal Caribbean describes it as its large indoor activity space, with bumper cars among the experiences offered onboard.
Shows and Evening Entertainment on Day 6
The evening schedule became particularly busy.
The Royal Theatre featured We Will Rock You, while other venues offered karaoke, game shows, trivia and late-night entertainment.
Music Hall hosted an 80’s Party and later a tribute to Michael Jackson, while Two70 hosted events including Virtual Symphony and a Silent Party.
Royal Caribbean continues to identify We Will Rock You as one of Anthem of the Seas’ featured entertainment productions, alongside the technologically focused entertainment found at Two70.
The planner also shows how entertainment overlapped during the evening, giving passengers several choices rather than requiring everyone to attend the same show.
Live Music Around Anthem of the Seas
Live music was spread across several venues on Day 6.
The planner lists Caribbean music by Island Sounds on the pool deck, jazz piano standards with José Pérez in Schooner Bar, Latin dance music with Acapulco Gold in Boleros and performances by the Music Hall house band Iconic.
Additional performances were scheduled in Schooner Bar and Brass & Bock Pub later in the evening.
This is one reason the Cruise Compass can be useful even for passengers who do not plan their day around major shows. Smaller performances and lounge entertainment can run simultaneously throughout the ship.
Shopping, Spa and Fitness on Day 6
The planner separates spa, fitness and retail events from the main entertainment schedule.
Day 6 included activities such as:
- Early Morning Stretch
- Abs Class
- Pure Form Yoga
- Complimentary consultations
- Spa seminars
- Pure Form Pilates
- TRX Suspension Training
- Footprint and Posture Analysis
- Shopping events and raffles
- Art and jewelry events
Some activities were complimentary while others carried an additional charge, indicated by a dollar sign on the planner.
The daily program is therefore useful for more than finding entertainment. It also provides a centralized schedule for fitness, spa presentations and onboard retail events.
Anthem of the Seas Day 7 Daily Planner
Day 7 was Saturday, March 23, 2024, and Anthem of the Seas remained at sea while returning toward Cape Liberty.
Despite being the final full day of the cruise, the schedule remained packed from morning until after midnight.
Day 7 Activities
Day 7 again offered a mixture of sports, trivia, games and organized activities.
The planner included:
- Morning 5K
- Stretch Class
- FlowRider
- Open Play Pickleball
- Rock Climbing Wall
- Progressive Trivia
- Adult Volleyball
- A Royal Mystery
- Arts and crafts
- Family Karaoke
- Family Festival
- Country Line Dance Class
- Open Play Pool Volleyball
- Rock Climbing Wall
- Adult Human Foosball
- Open Play Basketball
- Teen Only Speed Climb
- Bumper Cars
- Family Movie on Deck
- Hyperlink activities for ages 12–17 and 18–25
Several activities took place at SeaPlex, while FlowRider and the rock climbing wall provided additional options for passengers looking for more active things to do.
Final-Day Shows and Entertainment
One of the major afternoon events on Day 7 was We Will Rock You in the Royal Theatre.
The planner also included The Crazy Quest at Two70 later that night, along with karaoke, trivia, Name That Tune and other organized entertainment.
The schedule extended well beyond dinner. The Crazy Quest was listed at 10:30 p.m., followed by Farewell Karaoke Power Hour and a Nightclub Experience with DJ D’TELLO after midnight.
For passengers wondering whether the final sea day becomes quiet as the cruise winds down, this particular Anthem of the Seas planner shows the opposite: organized activities and entertainment continued late into the night.
Live Music on the Final Sea Day
Day 7 also had a substantial live-music schedule.
Performances included Dixieland music with the Anthem of the Seas Orchestra, Caribbean music with Island Sounds, party music from the Music Hall house band Iconic, Latin dance music with Acapulco Gold and piano and vocal entertainment with Todd Edwards.
Ana Alvaredo was also scheduled for guitar and vocal entertainment in Brass & Bock Pub.
The range of venues meant live music could be found around the ship from the afternoon through approximately 1:00 a.m.
Food, Drinks and Other Events
The daily planner also included several food- and drink-related activities.
Examples included Sip Tour Brunch in the Main Dining Room, sushi and sake pairing at Izumi, Taste of Royal at Wonderland and a Macallan whiskey tasting at Vintages.
These were marked with a dollar sign where an additional charge applied.
Passengers using a Cruise Compass or daily planner should pay attention to those symbols because not every listed event or activity is necessarily included in the cruise fare.
What These Cruise Compasses Show About Sea Days
These two planners provide a useful example of what consecutive sea days aboard Anthem of the Seas could look like during this March 2024 sailing.
Rather than repeating an identical schedule, the ship offered a changing combination of:
- Trivia and game shows
- Sports and active recreation
- Live music
- Production entertainment
- Poolside activities
- Family activities
- Teen and young-adult events
- Fitness classes
- Spa presentations
- Shopping events
- Food and beverage experiences
- Late-night entertainment
The planners also demonstrate why checking the Cruise Compass early can be worthwhile. Multiple activities frequently happen at the same time, and some events are offered only during relatively short windows.
Passengers should not expect a future Anthem of the Seas sailing to follow these exact schedules. Shows, activities, venues and times can change between cruises.
