Anthem of the Seas Entertainment Schedule & Shows Guide
Entertainment is a major part of a cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas, and the ship offers much more than a single production each evening. Between the Royal Theater, the high-tech Two70 venue and Music Hall, passengers can choose from Broadway-style entertainment, original Royal Caribbean productions, comedians, game shows, parties, karaoke and other nighttime activities.
This Anthem of the Seas entertainment schedule comes from a March 2026 sailing from Sydney, Australia. It provides a useful example of how Royal Caribbean schedules its major shows across a cruise, including We Will Rock You, Spectra’s Cabaret and The Gift. Exact performers, showtimes and activities can change by sailing, so passengers should always check the Royal Caribbean app and current daily program once onboard.

Anthem of the Seas Shows and Entertainment
Anthem of the Seas has several major entertainment venues, allowing Royal Caribbean to schedule different types of shows at the same time.
The entertainment schedule shown here covers March 8 through March 12, 2026, on a five-day itinerary departing Sydney and visiting Hobart, Tasmania. Days 2, 3 and 5 are listed as sea days.
The three venues highlighted on the schedule are:
- Royal Theater – Decks 4 and 5
- Two70 – Deck 5
- Music Hall – Decks 3 and 4
Royal Caribbean’s current information for Anthem of the Seas confirms that We Will Rock You, Spectra’s Cabaret and The Gift are among the ship’s featured productions. The ship also hosts guest entertainers and a much broader selection of activities and nightlife.
For passengers planning their evenings, the important takeaway is that there can be several entertainment options happening simultaneously. Looking over the schedule ahead of time can make it easier to decide which shows are priorities.
We Will Rock You on Anthem of the Seas
One of the biggest productions aboard Anthem of the Seas is We Will Rock You.
The Olivier Award-winning musical was written by Ben Elton and is built around the music of Queen. The show includes well-known songs such as “Radio Ga Ga,” “I Want to Break Free,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “We Will Rock You.”
On this sailing, We Will Rock You was scheduled in the Royal Theater on Monday, March 9, with two performances:
- 2:30 p.m.
- 7:30 p.m.
The entertainment guide lists a running time of approximately 120 minutes, making this by far the longest of the major productions shown on this particular schedule.
Passengers interested in seeing the musical should account for that length when planning dinner and other evening activities.
Spectra’s Cabaret at Two70
Spectra’s Cabaret is one of Anthem of the Seas’ signature entertainment experiences and is performed inside Two70.
Two70 is a particularly unusual cruise ship entertainment venue. During the day, its expansive windows provide panoramic ocean views. For entertainment, the space can transform using large-scale video projection and robotic screens.
Spectra’s Cabaret combines live performance with music, technology and cinematic elements.
On this March sailing, Spectra’s Cabaret appeared repeatedly throughout the cruise:
- Sunday – 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
- Tuesday – 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.
- Thursday – 8:30 p.m.
The schedule lists an approximate running time of 55 minutes.
Having performances on several different days gives passengers more opportunities to work the show around dining, port time and other onboard activities.
The Gift Production Show
The Gift is another of Anthem of the Seas’ major theatrical productions.
Royal Caribbean describes The Gift as a musical journey involving fantasy and illusion. The story centers on a man whose adventures lead him toward rediscovering his passion for life and his will to love again.
On the schedule shown here, The Gift was performed in the Royal Theater on Wednesday, March 11, while Anthem of the Seas was visiting Hobart.
Two performances were offered:
- 7:30 p.m.
- 9:30 p.m.
The entertainment guide lists The Gift with an approximate running time of 45 minutes.
The two evening performances make it possible for passengers to select a showtime that works with their preferred dinner schedule.
Guest Comedians and Headliner Entertainment
Not every night in the Royal Theater is dedicated to one of Anthem of the Seas’ permanent productions. Guest entertainers are also incorporated into the schedule.
This particular sailing featured Australian comedian Steve Allison during the Welcome Aboard Show at 9:15 p.m. on the first evening.
On Tuesday, the Royal Theater hosted a headliner show starring comedy juggler James Bustar. Two performances were scheduled, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The entertainment guide describes the act as a family-friendly combination of juggling, variety and audience participation.
The final night featured Royal comedian Dave Callan during the Farewell Show at 9:45 p.m. This performance was marked 18+ on the schedule.
Because guest entertainers can change, passengers should not assume these particular performers will appear on another Anthem of the Seas cruise.
Entertainment at Two70
Spectra’s Cabaret may be the headline production at Two70, but the venue is used for considerably more throughout the cruise.
On this particular sailing, the Two70 schedule also included:
- Make-A-Wish Auction
- Two70 Experience
- The Greatest 80’s Party Ever
- 70’s Disco Inferno
- Crazy Quest
- ReZolution Dance Party
- Farewell Virtual Fireworks Party
This variety illustrates why it is worth checking the entire daily planner rather than looking only at the production shows.
For example, Monday’s Two70 schedule moved from a Make-A-Wish Auction at 12:15 p.m. to the Two70 Experience at 12:45 p.m. and then The Greatest 80’s Party Ever at 10:30 p.m.
On Wednesday, Crazy Quest was scheduled at 10:30 p.m., followed by the ReZolution Dance Party at 11:15 p.m.
The venue can therefore function very differently depending on the time of day.
Music Hall Entertainment
Music Hall adds another layer to Anthem of the Seas’ nightlife.
Royal Caribbean describes Music Hall as a multi-level venue centered around music and nightlife. On the schedule provided, however, the venue was also used for game shows, karaoke and dance parties.
Activities included:
- Majority Rules Game Show
- SHUSH! Silent Party
- Left or Right Game Show
- Karaoke Superstar
- Perfect Couple Game Show
- Tropical Dance Party
- 50-50 Game Show
- Rock-A-Rokie
Several of these events take place later in the evening, making Music Hall an option after dinner or after attending one of the main production shows.
The schedule also identifies the Perfect Couple Game Show as an 18+ event.
Parties and Late-Night Activities
Passengers who prefer interactive entertainment rather than theater productions still have plenty represented on this schedule.
The first night includes a SHUSH! Silent Party at 10:00 p.m. in Music Hall. Another silent party appears Tuesday at 8:30 p.m.
Monday offers The Greatest 80’s Party Ever in Two70, while Tuesday includes 70’s Disco Inferno. Wednesday features a Tropical Dance Party in Music Hall followed later by Crazy Quest and the ReZolution Dance Party in Two70.
This mix of theater, parties, game shows and interactive entertainment makes it possible to build an evening around more than one event.
Karaoke and Game Shows
Game shows appear frequently on this Anthem of the Seas entertainment schedule.
The cruise begins with Majority Rules Game Show at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. Other options throughout the sailing include Left or Right Game Show, Perfect Couple Game Show and the 50-50 Game Show.
Karaoke Superstar is split into multiple rounds, with Round 1 scheduled Monday at 9:00 p.m. and Round 2 on Wednesday at 10:00 p.m.
The final evening also includes Rock-A-Rokie at 9:00 p.m. in Music Hall.
These activities are worth remembering when checking the Royal Caribbean daily program because they provide alternatives for passengers who may not want to attend every theater production.
How Long Are the Shows on Anthem of the Seas?
The printed entertainment guide provides running times for three of Anthem’s major productions:
- We Will Rock You – approximately 120 minutes
- Spectra’s Cabaret – approximately 55 minutes
- The Gift – approximately 45 minutes
- Headliner Showtime – approximately 45 minutes
The difference can matter when planning dinner reservations.
We Will Rock You requires roughly two hours, while The Gift or a headliner performance takes considerably less time. Passengers trying to attend multiple activities in one evening should leave enough time to move between venues.
How to Plan Your Anthem of the Seas Entertainment Schedule
The schedule provides a useful example of why it is worth looking at the entire cruise before deciding which night to see each show.
Some major productions are offered multiple times. If a particular performance conflicts with dinner or another activity, there may be another opportunity later in the cruise.
A few practical tips:
- Check the Royal Caribbean app for the current schedule on your sailing.
- Identify your must-see productions early in the cruise.
- Pay attention to repeat performances before choosing a showtime.
- Consider the show’s running time when making dinner plans.
- Check age restrictions for individual activities.
- Don’t overlook Two70 and Music Hall when reviewing the entertainment schedule.
- Recheck showtimes onboard because schedules and performers can change.
Passengers should also remember that the entertainment schedule is separate from everything else happening aboard the ship. The complete Royal Caribbean daily planner will contain additional onboard activities, dining information and other events that are not included on this show-at-a-glance sheet.

Final Thoughts on Anthem of the Seas Entertainment
Anthem of the Seas has a particularly varied entertainment lineup because its three principal venues offer very different experiences. The Royal Theater handles major productions such as We Will Rock You and The Gift, Two70 combines entertainment with the ship’s distinctive multimedia technology, and Music Hall provides another home for parties, karaoke and game shows.
The March 2026 entertainment schedule also shows how Royal Caribbean spreads its major productions across different days and often provides more than one opportunity to see them. That flexibility can make planning dinners, shore excursions and other onboard activities much easier.
