We flew into LaGuardia Thursday and stayed in New York for a couple days before our Saturday cruise. I had pre-arranged dial 7 car service to pick us up at 1:00 on Saturday to take us to Bayonne. Excellent experience with dial 7. The trip took about 30 min.

This is our 4Th cruise and our first with Royal Caribbean. We have cruised with Carnival, and two Norwegian ships.

Check in went very smooth. Porters were very helpful in guiding us in the right direction. We had our set sail pass already filled out which is a must!!! We were then transferred by bus to the ship. We went strait to our room and dropped of our carry on bags and headed to the Windjammer for some lunch. After walking around the ship a little we headed back to our room and our bags were there already. Very fast and efficient. Muster drill was done earlier to try and get it in before the remnants of tropical storm Hanna hit the area. Read more
