Day 5 aboard Anthem of the Seas brings us back to Airlie Beach for our second day in the Whitsundays! Today we head off on foot along the Airlie Beach boardwalk toward Coral Sea Marina for a turtle spotting tour with Whisper Tours. It was hot, humid and very sweaty, but the walk gave us some beautiful views around Airlie Beach before we arrived at the marina Our turtle spotting tour was aboard a small electric boat, limited to only a small group, and we set off to see if we could spot turtles in the Whitsundays. So… did we actually see any? After the tour, we tender back to Anthem of the Seas, cool down onboard, enjoy lunch, and then take in a stunning sunset as we sail away from the Whitsundays The evening includes rum punch cocktails, Taste of the UK in the Main Dining Room, some wonderful viewer meet-ups, Crazy Quest, and a very fun — although slightly confusing — Royal Caribbean Resolution Dance Party 🛳️ Ship: Anthem of the Seas 🚢 Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean 📍 Port: Airlie Beach / Whitsundays 🌏 Cruise: Sydney to Airlie Beach Useful Links: Airlie Beach Tourism https://airliebeachtourism.com.au/ Whisper Cruises https://whispercruises.com.au/ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:20 Coming Up Today 00:51 Airlie Beach, Queensland 01:41 Walking The Airlie Beach Boardwalk 02:29 Stay Hydrated In The Whitsundays 03:01 Crocs, Stingers & Airlie Beach Warnings 04:37 Coral Sea Marina Airlie Beach 06:12 Whisper Tours Whitsundays 07:12 The Electric Boat 09:58 Whisper Tours Airlie Beach 10:32 Turtle Spotting Tour – Did We See Any? 12:48 Tendering Back To Anthem Of The Seas 14:09 Rum Punch Cocktails 14:26 Main Dining Room White Night 14:37 Subscribe 15:33 Taste Of The UK Dinner 17:33 A Request For Royal Caribbean 17:54 Yummy Food & Viewer Shout Outs 19:06 Crazy Quest 18+ 19:20 Royal Caribbean Resolution Dance Party 19:34 Daily Wrap Up If you enjoy cruise vlogs, Royal Caribbean tips, port days, cruise food, ship life and real travel adventures, make sure you subscribe and come along for the rest of our Anthem of the Seas series #AirlieBeach #AnthemoftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #Whitsundays #CruiseVlog #CruiseAustralia Experience the intense humid weather of Airlie Beach firsthand.
