Another week has come to an end and we've gone through and hand-picked some fun articles for you to take a look at in case you missed any of it.
The big Royal Caribbean news this week was Anthem of the Seas had her conveyance up the River Ems and is poised now to begin her sea trials.
Anthem of the Seas' conveyance was an impressive operation, requiring her to go backwards up a narrow river with the aid of tug boats at about 2-3 knotts. It also produced some great photos and videos that we shared on the blog this week.
Anthem of the Seas is scheduled to be handed over to Royal Caribbean in mid-April.
