We've done 4 cruises on DCL with a 5th booked, but I was looking at some lesser expensive options out of NYC to Bermuda for next summer and found that Anthem does a 5-night to Bermuda, while Adventure has an 8 night to Bermuda and the Bahamas. Both are nearly the same price for our party of two. DS7 loves the Aqua Duck, MDA, the pools (not my favorite), the shows and the overall vibe of DCL. He's less and less into the characters, though he'll stand in line for Mickey every time. I've looked at YouTube videos of both Anthem and Adventure and, while Adventure seems a bit more dated in its decor, Anthem doesn't scream "bring your family and have fun on this ship." I've read a couple Anthem reviews and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of kid-friendly entertainment. I'd rather a shorter cruise to test the waters with a different line, but I'm wondering if the older Adventure of the Seas, even though it has a longer itinerary, might be a better choice for us given the pool set up, the slides, etc. For those who have done either or both ships, what do you recommend? Thanks!
