You're getting ahead of the blog, but a couple days later they revealed where the name came from. ?
Day #14

All those are good choices.  Really can't go wrong.  I really enjoyed the Anthem.  I know the Quantum class got a bad rap at the beginning because of Dynamic dining, but we really enjoy the quantum class ships.  They are awesome for inclement weather.

It's definitely Oasis.  We were debating a B2B on the Oasis to justify the drive.  We are going with friends, and that's the only cruise dates that would work and the anthem dates in Feb. wouldn't work which killed me as we had a killer deal on the Feb. 3rd 12 night Anthem sailing.  We hate driving to FL to catch a boat.  In the end we are doing the Enchantment 4 night on Feb. 4, going to Disney for two days, and then hopping on the Oasis on Feb. 10.
I was looking at Spring Break Airfare from you area,  as we have some friends that tried to recruit us onto the Celebrity Silhouette Mar. 24 sailing out of FLL.  It wouldn't work as we had a wedding on Apr 6th, and the rehearsal Apr. 5 when we disembark. The wedding was in DC, so I was looking at BWI, IAD, and DCA for possible flights.  The flights weren't awful.  For four of us, I got it down to 900 dollars on SWA.  Not great, but not $2000 dollars expensive.  Ultimately they decided to have the rehearsal dinner midday so logistically it won't work for us as we had to make 1015 direct flight that would land at 1230, but that left no margin for error. It was nice itinerary going to the really south caribbean and 4 ports we had never been to before and we've been pretty much every where in the Caribbean that isn't Cuba.
We are instead doing the Mar. 22nd Grandeur, and possibly one of the Bermudas on the Anthem or Grandeur in April.  It'd be nice to hit up Boston, as we have only been there once and only briefly.
If you are tiring of the Caribbean I've been stalking some Prestige cruises deals.  They quoted me $5600 for a 13 night Princess cruise starting in Singapore ending in Tokyo, with 3 nights hotel in Singapore WITH AIRFARE out of ORD.  That is insane.  We couldn't make the dates work, but it was sooo tempting.  
The 3400 is a great camera.  All DSLR's take awesome pics these days.  The higher end cameras just take marginally better pics, and only if you truly know how to use it to it's full extent and then process the pics correctly afterwards, otherwise, it's just as good as a 3400 or Rebel imo.  Just keep practicing and I'm sure you'll move up the camera world over time.

Yes, took our son with us was harder to manage but that what we want and will not change anything. He will always go with us anywhere. He is now 6 years old. November 17, we will be on Anthem OTC and will be his 4th cruises. 
So far we have been cruising with RCI and not try other lines yet. We did book MSC Seaside for August 2019 and thinking to try Norwegian cruise sometimes in the future.

Thanks!   We have travelled a lot and have so many things happen over the years it’s hard to shock us at this point.  On an even worse note I had my camera stolen from me in Indianapolis in April from my hotel room... along with our snacks and hair gel.   That was truly crushing as my camera is practically a third child to me.

We don’t have insurance on it as we come out ahead not buying insurance.  Just annoys me someone would turn it off so fast and not make any attempt to return it.
Either way,  here is Day #2
https://thesmallworldfamily.com/2018/10/01/northern-transatlantic-cruise-live-blog-day-2/

So for those interested, we are starting a live blog on the Norwegian Breakaway TA. This may be somewhat relevant to RCI cruisers, as we primarily cruise RCI, as we are almost Diamond Plus and this is our first Norwegian Cruise since 1991, so it will basically be new to us. Much of our commentary will be somewhat of a comparison between the two lines. We are very anxious stepping outside our comfort zone of Disney and RCI, but the price was right and itinerary a little different.

It’s only because I have small/young kids. Everything takes doubly long with them as you well know.  They take forever to feed.  They need to potty at the worst times, etc.  We were there SUPER early so we ended up walking around and taking pics.  We are always cautious with young kids on timing and it is always better to be early than late.  
I also love to do photography and the early morning hours are the best light so,  even if we are early I can take pics and the kids can play.  Or I can take pics of the kiddos playing which is even better.  Lol.  There were many people who took a later tender,  we just didn’t want to risk it,  but in reality my wife and I both agreed we coulda gotten up at 7:00 and still been fine.  There was no line for the tender that early.  They didn’t start handing out tender tickets till 8am so we were the first tender.
 
If you have teens you will be much faster and efficient.
