framboesa Posted December 6, 2016 #26 Share Posted December 6, 2016 We only booked Anthem because it's the only one besides NCL ships (with no indoor pool) that sail out of NY/NJ area in March and we wanted to visit NYC before our cruise (will stay there 5 nights). We have been in all ports, but a cruise is what you make of it, so... we will have a perfect cruise for sure...We will cruise just after you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&JfromSDL Posted December 17, 2016 #27 Share Posted December 17, 2016 My wife is trying to convince me to do the 7-day Bahamas itinerary in March. I'm skeptical of the weather and the ports. I look at a 3 hour Amtrak ride from DC to NJ as the same as a 3 hour flight to Florida. Glad to see I'm not the only skeptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William W Posted December 20, 2016 #28 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I have just returned from the Dec 9 sailing. If everything is equal, I would definitely prefer to sail out of Florida on one of the Oasis class ship. However, because we are traveling as a family, the cost of the flight itself for 4 from Ontario, will almost be enough to pay for another cruise with the kids sail free promo. Thus, I am willing to put up with the boring itinerary in exchange for being able to do 2 cruises a year. Besides, unlike the Breakaway or the Gem, the Anthem is a great ship to be sailing out of NJ in winter time as it has plennty of indoor facilities and activities. But during months of warmer weather, I prefer the Breakaway or even the Gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
