anthem of seas cabin help

[kitkat343]

I am considering booking a cruise on the Anthem of the Seas. Our family has two children, age 5 and 1. RC's website shows that there are some balcony rooms available for 4 people. When I called RC to see if there are any larger rooms available for our family, I was told that all the suites are sold out, and also that the balcony room for 4 can't actually fit our family since 2 people are supposed to sleep together on the pullout couch. If the couch is out, you can't actually fit a crib in the room so they recommend families of 4 with infants not sail in anything smaller than a junior suite, which is sold out.

 

Can the couch be turned around so my 5 year old can sleep in it and we can also fit a crib for the 1 year old in our room? I just wanted to check with the forum since phone reps haven't always given me correct information in the past and I wanted to know your opinions (that isn't a slam at RC - I've had trouble with phone reps with a lot of lines, and find verifying what they tell me to be a good decision). There are connecting insides available, so we do have an option if we go forward with the cruise, but I just wanted to check to see what all of our options might be. Also, we are within a very easy drive of the port of Bayonne, so I guess we could also bring a travel cot with us if RC can remove the couch from the room. The 2 connecting inside rooms aren't much more than the balcony. We've only sailed as a family of 3, so I'm not sure what would be best.

 

Thanks so much.

I'd go with the two insides- simply because you will have more privacy, can stay up late watching tV without disturbing the little ones. You'll double the square ft. Have two televisions, two bathrooms, twice as much closet space. Sounds like the best plan
