My wife and I chose this cruise because we love Bermuda and figured this would be a good first family vacation with our 7 month old baby. We have been on Anthem once before and enjoyed it so we wanted to try it again. We booked the family Jr. suite since it was a decent price and we wanted extra space. The room worked perfectly for our needs. Our cabin steward Tuti was great. Kept the room clean, always knew the right time to make the room up, towel animals, etc.
We arrived to the pier in Bayonne around 1PM. Embarkation was very smooth. We were probably on board in about 45 minutes. We filled out all of information online which helps a lot. I saw bigger lines if you didnt complete the online check in. (by now all cruisers should know this)
This cruise was different for us as we had our 7 month old with us. We were not able to try some of the things we normally would on a cruise. (such as the shows, north star, etc) These were all good though the first time we went on Anthem. Service on Anthem was mostly very good. So many friendly and helpful staff. Can't say enough about these nice folks.
The family junior suite was very spacious and worked out well for us. We had a 7 month old baby with us, so we needed the extra space for all of the extra items we brought onboard. The bathroom was much bigger with a good size tub. Loccitaine bath products provided. Balcony was bigger than the usual. Half bath separate. Tuti our room steward was professional and great.
