Royal Caribbean Bayonne (Cape Liberty) Cruise Reviews

This was an exciting cruise for us. First time leaving from a northern port, Cape Liberty, NJ. First time on Anthem of the Seas. First time going to Bermuda. We cruised November 10th thru November 17th. I picked this week due to wanting 2.5 days in Bermuda. I knew going in the weather might be a little questionable. We drove into port. Pretty nice easy drive other that 8 hours of rain. ...

Wanted to try a new cruise line. We were attracted by the departure port and the variety of activities. We were not disappointed! Embarkation was a breeze. We had a Grand Suite (lowest end of Sky Class). Lovely room, although the brown color scheme was dull. Great to have a separate space from our daughters, wonderful bathroom—full size with two sinks and full size tub/shower. Nice big balcony. ...

We choose this cruise for the ship, as we had not been on the Anthem of the Seas. The ship was impressive, but it lacked good food, unless you paid extra, and a lot of the crew seemed to be lazy. Not at all what we are used to on other ships. Lots to do. The entertainment on this ship was certainly different. Enjoyed The Gift, Spectra, and We will Rock You, but once was enough for all of ...

was a great cruise on board was great Dru Pavlo is a great cruise Dir. one of best in fleet food in MDR was good only down part was they stoped serving Osso Busco Great pool area and it looks like they are cracking down on people placeing towels on chairs and leaving which is great. Windjammer food was very good whne we at there. also the pizza at searentos was very tatsy the ...

Embarkation: was a breeze. due to coast guard conducting a mandatory routine inspection, our arrival time was pushed back to 11:30....i never listen. got there for 10 a.m. and i believe we were on the ship by 11:15. disembarkation was even easier. walked right off at 7:15 a.m., grabbed my luggage from Section 18 and through customs and home by 8:20 ... 8:30 a.m. after embarkation, up to ...

This ship conveniently leaves out of NJ, it is new and big. The dates aligned with my kids, 11 and 13, having off from school. It was our 5th cruise. We also sailed in Carnival and MSC. We have enjoyed all of them. We hit a 20 minute traffic jam driving to the port at around 11:30 AM, but once we got to the port, embarkation was fast and smooth. On disembarkation morning, there was a 1 hour ...

We wanted to try a big ship cruise. We were very impressed with the smooth embarcation process but things quickly went downhill from there. Long lines greeted us at every meal with or without reservations for our "my time" dining, and table service was mediocre for the most part. We found the serving staff attention to detail lacking even in the specialty restaurants, and the day to day menu was ...

Best time of year for my time off. Embarking ship in Cape Liberty was very efficient and took very little time. Bermuda is an excellent island and safe to get around. Transportation on the island is very user friendly. Would have preferred Caribbean islands but were not available for the time I needed. Music on the ship was excellent along with the headliner shows. All the main ...

This review is for the Halloween sailing the wife and I were on. This is the 3rd we have taken together, although I have been on others previously. I chose this ship based on a family member recommendation, as well as the proximity of the ship being very close to home. We arrived at Bayonne early, and good thing we did as we heard there was a massive traffic delay shortly after we arrived that ...

My husband and I sailed on Anthem Halloween Week with our four children. We picked this cruise because it was an excellent price (with a % off of the second passengers and kids sail free promos combined) and because we wanted a warm weather get away when the weather was turning in NY. Embarkation Disastrous. We drove from our home to the port area in around an hour and then sat in traffic ...
