Royal Caribbean recently invited us to the pre-inaugural cruise of their latest ship Anthem of the Seas to look at some of the technology on-board. Here we experience drinks being made by robots at the Bionic Bar.
Royal Caribbean International’s newest ship, Anthem of the Seas, has a line-up of unexpected experiences at sea bringing thrilling adventures to guests of all ages. From the RipCord by iFLY sky diving experience and the North Star, a glass observation capsule that takes guests more than 300 feet above the ocean, to futuristic entertainment, a robust culinary experience and game-changing technology that encompasses everything from robotic bartenders to superfast wireless connectivity, Anthem of the Seas will allow guests to vacation like never before.
Bionic Bar, powered by Makr Shakr, is set to make waves with robots at center stage. Guests place orders via tablets and then have fun watching robotic bartenders hard at work mixing cocktails.
Here we select a drink and watch one of the robots make it for us (the whole process is quicker than the video shows, we just wanted to show you the robots in action):
Anthem of the Seas will sail her inaugural spring and summer season from her homeport of Southampton, U.K., offering Europe and Mediterranean itineraries. In fall 2015 she will cross the Atlantic to make Cape Liberty Cruise Port in New York Harbor her permanent home, sailing to the Caribbean.
