As part of Royal Caribbean Blog's Group Cruise on Anthem of the Seas, we're holding a number of events exclusively for our blog readers because enjoying this cruise is not just about being onboard but sharing in the event together!
Unless otherwise noted, everyone is invited to join us for these events, even if you did not book into our group. We want these group cruises to be as inclusive as possible, so we welcome all Royal Caribbean fans to join us for the fun!
This schedule is tentative and we are working on a few other meets.

The most civilized bar crawl ever
