Anthem of the Seas Australia Drink Menu & Prices
If you’re sailing on Anthem of the Seas from Australia, this drink menu gives a detailed look at what you can expect to pay for cocktails, beer, wine, spirits, sodas, juices and other beverages onboard.
This is an Australian-market Royal Caribbean drink menu used aboard Anthem of the Seas. Royal Caribbean currently operates Anthem of the Seas cruises from Sydney, including Australian, New Zealand and South Pacific itineraries. One particularly important detail for passengers sailing from Australia is that the prices on this menu are shown in U.S. dollars, not Australian dollars. Royal Caribbean’s Australian cruise materials also reference onboard beverage pricing and package limits in U.S. dollars.
The menu itself is clearly designed for the Australian market, with Australian beers and spirits such as Victoria Bitter, XXXX Gold, Great Northern, Furphy, Bundaberg and Four Pillars appearing alongside Royal Caribbean’s international beverage selection. The menu also states that gratuity is included, with VAT potentially applicable for certain ports or itineraries.

Are Anthem of the Seas Australia Drink Prices in U.S. Dollars?
Yes. Although Anthem of the Seas sails from Sydney and the local currency ashore is the Australian dollar, the onboard drink prices shown on this Royal Caribbean Australia menu are in U.S. dollars.
Royal Caribbean’s own Australian materials also specify beverage-package thresholds and certain onboard beverage charges in U.S. dollars. This is important when budgeting because a cocktail displaying a price of “15” represents $15 USD rather than $15 AUD.
Passengers should therefore keep the exchange rate in mind when estimating how much drinks purchased individually may ultimately cost in Australian dollars.
Is Gratuity Included on Anthem of the Seas Australia Drink Prices?
The photographed menu specifically states:
“Gratuity inclusive. VAT may apply for certain ports or itineraries.”
That differs from Royal Caribbean sailings in some other markets where an additional service charge may be added to beverage purchases.
Royal Caribbean also confirms that beverage packages purchased for cruises departing Australia have service charges included in the listed package price.
The possibility of VAT still depends on the itinerary and where the ship is operating.
Why Does the Australia Drink Menu Have Different Brands?
Royal Caribbean adapts parts of its beverage selection for the region in which a ship is sailing.
That is particularly obvious on this Anthem of the Seas Australia menu. Alongside international brands such as Budweiser, Stella Artois, Bacardi and Jack Daniel’s are products strongly associated with the Australian market, including:
• Victoria Bitter
• XXXX Gold
• Great Northern Super Crisp Lager
• Furphy Refreshing Ale
• Hahn Premium Light
• Bundaberg
• Four Pillars
Australian and New Zealand wines also appear throughout the wine list.
For passengers who have previously sailed with Royal Caribbean in North America or Europe, the exact beer, wine and spirit selection may therefore look somewhat different on an Australian itinerary.
Anthem of the Seas From Sydney
Anthem of the Seas operates cruises from Sydney, Australia, with itineraries that can include destinations around Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
The Quantum-class ship offers Royal Caribbean attractions such as North Star, RipCord by iFLY, SeaPlex and Two70, alongside numerous restaurants, bars and lounges.
For passengers researching an upcoming sailing, drink menus are worth reviewing alongside the ship’s dining options, daily activities, entertainment schedules, shore excursions and other onboard costs.
Royal Caribbean Drink Packages in Australia
Royal Caribbean offers beverage packages on many sailings, although availability and package rules can depend on the length and departure point of the cruise.
The Deluxe Beverage Package generally covers eligible cocktails, spirits, liqueurs, beer and wines by the glass, along with a range of non-alcoholic drinks.
Royal Caribbean’s Australian terms currently specify a maximum individual beverage value in U.S. dollars for included drinks. Package conditions can change, so passengers should check the Cruise Planner for their specific Anthem of the Seas sailing rather than relying on a historical package price or limit.
This menu can still be particularly useful when deciding whether buying drinks individually or purchasing a package makes more sense for your own drinking habits.
