Hi all

I was hoping someone could give me some feedback on RC Anthem of the Seas. My family just booked a cruise on this ship from Nov 23rd - Dec 1st (Thanksgiving Week) leaving Bayonne NJ to Orlando and the Bahamas. It is my and my siblings' first time cruising; my parents' second. Last cruise they went on was in the Mediterranean on Celebrity. 

Since then my dad unfortunately suffered a stroke and now has mobility issues on his left side. He can walk a little bit with a cane but heavily relies on a wheelchair. 

I was wondering if anyone that has been on this ship, or any RC cruise can advise on activities, either onboard or shore excursions, that might be suitable for him, especially if anyone has experience cruising with or with someone that has a disabilty. We have 3 staterooms booked on Deck 3 (one is accessible) and I saw that this deck has the main dining room, another restaurant (Chic), casino, and music hall, so he should have no problem accessing those. 

I know they also do some kind of Thanksgiving spread for the holiday.. I'm guessing this would be in the main dining room? I would love a sample menu if anyone could share.

I did a little research and found some info on this board specifically for Anthem, but I would greatly appreciate any other input/advice anyone could provide. We were thinking of checking out the Kennedy Space Center at Port Canaveral if that might not be too strenuous.. not sure about excursions in Nassau/CocoCay.

Side note: We will also be traveling with a 21 month old. I know they have a play area for babies/toddlers and my sister might take him to Disney if there is time. Do they have a kiddie pool onboard?

Sorry for the long post! I just want to make sure everyone enjoys this trip since it's the first family vacation we are taking in years. 

Thanks everyone
