What I'm Packing: Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas

What I'm Packing: Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas

Thursday, October 22, 2015

I can't believe November is basically here and I can't believe I'm going on a cruise in two weeks! I'm going to be one of the very first people to check out the new Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas and I'm pretty excited. Shop these items here:

If you remember from earlier this year, I went on a cruise with Royal Caribbean to The Bahamas with some of my best girlfriends and had a blast. While I had overpacked (a lot) I seemed to be missing a few essential items to make my cruise even more enjoyable.But this time? Not going to make the same mistake! So I'm sharing my packing list today to make sure I am fully prepared for all the fun activities on the ship.   

Pajamas [also comes in blue] / Nike Sneakers / Nike Yoga Pants / Madewell Poncho

PJs: So I totally forgot pajamas last time! What the heck, right? It's kind of a big deal. But now I have a really cute set so I'll never forget them. :)

Workout clothes: I actually won't be working out during my time there but I will be doing a ton of really fun activities that need the proper attire. Last time I missed out on the rock wall (one of my favorite things to do in general) because I didn't pack sneakers.

I'll also need them for any activities I may want to hit up in the SeaPlex (the activity zone). I mean who doesn't want to ride around in bumper cars, roller skate or try their hand at a flying trapeze? Sign me up for it all!

AND I'm going to need these clothes for the most exciting part (!!!) the RipCord by iFly! I am SO unbelievably excited for this I can't contain it. The number one thing on my #LifeGoal list is to sky dive and I'm totally going to treat this as my trial run. How fun is indoor skydiving?? Did I mention I'm excited??

Cozy Cape: What's awesome about the new ship is that almost all of the rooms have balconies and there is nothing more I love to do than cozy up and just sit out there. The sound of the ocean is so so relaxing. What I found out (which is also so cool) is that even for interior state rooms, they have virtual balconies! So it looks and sounds just like a real balcony. How innovative is that?? 

Mara Hoffman Print Dress / Lilly Pulitzer Dress [also comes in Navy] / Schutz Blake Heels / Bow One Piece 

Dresses for the night: I always love an excuse to get dressed up for a night out, and if Two70, the ship's high tech entertainment venue, doesn't give me the best reason, I don't know what will! The space looks amazing and I'm for sure going to find time for a show. I've been on a lot of cruises before but never found a want to see a show but now I will for sure! That is right after I get a drink from the robot bartenders ;)

Comfortable Heels: Comfortable heels are key for walking all around the ship and standing during North Star rides. Ever wanted a magnificent view from the middle of sea? Or how about a view above of NYC? This is the ride for you! The ship docks out of New Jersey (right across the river from downtown) and I feel like there will be no better time to take a 300-foot ride straight up to get the best view of the city. 

One-piece swim suit: So this is a big one and one I've been remembering since the last cruise. I had SO much fun on the FlowRider (simulated surfing) but I could only go one time because I wasn't wearing the proper attire. My suit was allllll over the place and I just needed a cute one-piece to solve all my problems. And now I finally found one! Eeek yay!

The cruise is just for the weekend so that's about all I'm going to pack. What are some other fun items you think I'll need for my trip??
