While We love traveling, We have to admit that We've never considered myself a "cruise" person. We realize there's a whole cruise culture out there, and We am about to get a taste of it!

Three more sleeps before the flight to NJ. Four more sleeps before We board the Royal Caribbean's newest and most technologically advanced cruise ship, Anthem of the Seas for the pre-inaugural media sail.

We AM SO EXCITED!

Here's a sneak peek: Anthem of the Seas began her inaugural sail from Southampton, U.K., earlier this spring. She makes her way into her permanent home of Cape Liberty Cruise Port in New York Harbor this week, and will be starting regular trips to the Caribbean starting next week.

During our pre-inaugural media sail, there are so many exciting features We can't wait to check out. We most look forward to:

The RipCord by iFLY sky diving experience

Dining at American Icon, one of a bajillion dining experience on board. We exaggerate the numbers, but only slightly.American Icon restaurant onboard Anthem of the Seas / UrbanBlissLife.com

An awesome cocktail making session and checking out The Bionic Bar, with robotic bartenders, throughout which We will be singing silently in the head "Hand me the bourbon-o, Mr. Roboto…"

And, with a million work deadlines still to meet, you bet We will be testing out the ship's reported superfast wireless connectivity. Anthem of the Seas is supposed to be the most technologically advanced cruise ship in the entire line of Royal Caribbean ships.

We'll be producing a few videos with the crew and interviewing some of the key players on board, so please feel free to leave me any questions you might have for them in the comments below. Be sure to also follow Felnu across all social media platforms so you don't miss a thing!
