NovCruisin Posted November 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2014 We have not been on any of the newer RCCL ships, we are looking to do a Thanksgiving cruise in 2015 and cannot decide between: (1) Anthem - 8 days Pro: Brand New Ship! One Extra Day Con: Flying to New Jersey (it is further than FLL from DFW) One Extra Day (means taking another day off work) (2) Allure - 7 days Pro: Better Ports Flying to FLL (we have done this before and are comfortable finding our way around there) Con: One Less Day Slightly Older Ship (compared to Anthem) They are about the same price, so that's not really a factor Please help us decide!!

Clarea Posted November 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I would not fly to New Jersey in late November to take a Bahamas cruise, when I could fly to Florida instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that should definitely be added as a con to the Anthem sailing...possible bad weather!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted November 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It could take a couple of days to get to warm weather, but if you had your heart set on trying the skydiving simulator....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readytolose Posted November 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 19, 2014 If you haven't sailed on either ship (obviously I know you haven't sailed on Anthem) then I would pick the Allure. Yes, you are losing a day but it should be better weather the whole trip. With the Anthem you would "lose" a couple days waiting to get to the warmer weather! Save the Anthem cruise for a time when the weather won't be as cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketlady Posted November 19, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 19, 2014 My four cruises were out of Fla. Which included Allure and Oasis. This time we are going out of NJ in Jan. I am not crazy about it. Not after the crappy weather we are having now. I sure hope the new ship is worth it. I doubt we will ever go to NJ again. WEll, LET you know after Feb. what happens.

NovCruisin Posted November 19, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks for everyone's opinions! After your comments, it does seem to make much more sense to do the Allure! :) Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
