Second cruise on Royal Caribbean. This is the first time that we traveled with my daughters that are both over 18 now. The Anthem of the Seas was a great ship. They enjoyed the cruise because it seemed to be geared to adults. There are pools for the kids but no water slides. The outdoor movies were mostly for adults. My daughters, still kids at heart, enjoyed taking photos with the Dreamworks characters. This cruise, we choose to enjoy the ship more instead of the ports of call since we've been to Nassau and Orlando multiple times. CocoCay was a great place to enjoy the beach. The entertainment (Spectra's Cabaret, We Will Rock You, The Gift, the comedians and other planned activities) was phenomenal and you can't miss them. Such great talent! Seriously recommend this ship if you plan on leaving from NY/NJ because you don't want to fly out to Miami.
Traveling with my husband and two daughters, we always get a balcony room. One of my daughters sleeps on the couch and the other on the pullman. I realized that this ship does not have pullman bed but the couch coverts to two twin beds. This takes away so much space, especially since the couch is next to the balcony.
