New Cruiser - Anthem of the Seas

[TrojanTeam]

Good Afternoon,

 

We are cruising on the RCCL Anthem of the Seas (leaving from NJ) in a few months. We have reserved a Sky Loft suite (Star Class). The more I read Anthem of the Seas reviews I am thinking we may have made a mistake. This could be a bit of buyer's remorse mixed with what seems to be a wide range of positive and negative reviews. I have also tried to use the RCCL website and it is a bit clunky which doesn't add to my confidence level.

 

As first time cruisers (as a family) I would like to hear from the collective on whether starting off on a mega-ship is a good idea? Is the Royal Genie all that RCCL claims it to be? What are the top three things a first time cruiser should know?

 

Thank you.

I would suggest posting this on the RCI board where you will get more and better answers from seasoned RCI cruisers. Here's the link:

And just to add, I take reviews with a huge grain of salt....
