FirstAnthem Posted January 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I am looking at two different options for cruising next February--one on Adventure of the Seas and one on Harmony of the Seas. Both itineraries are the same (Labadee, St Maarten, San Juan) except Adventure stops in St Kitts as well. We have two kids, ages then will be 14 and 12. Which is the better choice? We have never cruised before...our first cruise is next month on Anthem. Just looking for pros/cons and a comparison from those who have sailed on these ships before. Thank you!

Clarea Posted January 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2018 More bells and whistles and better shows on Harmony. Two flowriders on Harmony vs one on Adventure. Many more places to eat on Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted January 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Easy choice due to the fact that you're cruising with kids (certainly with the ages they are) it's Harmony. We've sailed on Anthem, Harmony and Adventure. Anthem was my least favorite of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted January 22, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Unless the Adventure is drastically cheaper than the Harmony for you, it's gotta be Harmony all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstAnthem Posted January 22, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The price difference is $845. Seems like a big price difference to me, but I guess the viewpoint on cost is all relative! $845 would pay for some good shore excursions, I'm sure. But activities on board, and the quality of dining (main dining room, not specialty) make a big difference too. Thanks for the input so far! 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted January 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2018 $845 and St Kitts makes it a lot tougher decision..... Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaRob Posted January 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If its a 2nd cruise and its $845 less, would do the Adventure and use the money for a big Labadee day. Anthem to Adventure is drop off in my mind, while Anthem to Harmony would be a step up(for most people) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecat3902 Posted January 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I haven’t sailed adventure but we have sailed with our kids and Harmony has been their favorite ship out of several cruises we have taken them on.

SpaceCowboy9 Posted January 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 23, 2018 for me, I like checking out different ports, so the one with more stops would be the one for me. You'll have a great time either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare flannbarr Posted January 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The kids would enjoy Harmony 100 times better. There’s no comparison for activities and entertainment. Harmony is a destination ship. Adventure is not. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
