we didn't explore bayonne before we left port, both embarkation and debarkation were average for all the cruises we have been on, they all take to long. Ship was a wonderful ship very steady during rough seas, cabin was spacious and comfortable, dining was average at best, along with the entertainment. Dining service in windjammer was marginable at best, did not use shore excursions. We would go again but not sure about Royal Caribbean. We did nt travel with children however the ones we saw on ship were having a good time. Drinks we thought were very expensive. The crew appeared to be very trained we saw a elderly lady fall down steps and was attended to very quickly be the staff who were very compassionate. Would of loved to take tour of the ship but didn't do it, it was very expensive as well but I bet it was great.
great location, open site to incoming ports. great view
