Royal Caribbean International’s New Anthem and Ovation of the Seas Update

Royal Caribbean International‘s latest cruise ships – the Anthem of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas – are closer to their April 2015 and Fall 2016 launch respectively after Anthem floated out (pictured above) from and Ovation‘s keel was laid at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.
