Bayonne (Cape Liberty) to the Bahamas Cruise Reviews

Had not been cruising for quite some time. Things have changed a lot. Some for the worse, most for the better. Traveled in a solo cabin and despite my hesitation, the accommodation was comfortable and roomy. Over the seven days I enjoyed the entertainment, hospitality and activities aboard ship. The Perfect Day on the private island was also restful and pleasant. I would especially recommend ...

This was our 18th cruise on many different lines (Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, NCL and Princess) and we wanted to try a bigger class ship on Royal. We flew from Ottawa, Ontario to Newark airport the day before the cruise and stayed at a nice B&B in Staten Island. Took the ferry back and forth to Manhattan to see the sights which never gets old! Embarkation –This was the ...

Our family sailed with this ship two weeks ago, with the expectation that we would be able to sail to Nassau, Bahamas as part of the entire itinerary. Unfortunately, we never made it there due to their claim that the ship had propeller issues that interfered with their original plans. With this said, this review focuses on the amenities that the Anthem of the Seas had to offer, and made us wonder ...

To celebrate our 45th Anniversary we chose a cruise to the Caribbean. Having previously sealed on RCLs’ Allure and Oasis we knew this ship, the Anthem, didn’t have all the bells and whistles of those ship, but it fit into our schedule, we booked it. Originally scheduled to stop in Port Canaveral, Nassau and Coco Cay because of engine problems the ship skipped Nassau. As promised RCL, surprisingly ...

I had been on this ship two years ago and loved it. This time, not so much. Way too many kids for this time of year. Itinerary got changed twice. Food was generally abysmal. Very little recognition for being a C&A top tier member. Has really changed and not for the better. The bright spot was debarkation; worked very well, everything flowed smoothly and very quickly. A nice change from the ...

We didn't end up where we were supposed to go. but that's OK with me! Allow me to explain: Background Information: This was my 42nd cruise overall, and my 5th time on the Anthem of the Seas. I took this cruise with my husband. The price was right and we had gone to Port Canaveral and Perfect Day at Coco Cay before. However, both ports were changed; Port Canaveral due to engine maintenance ...

I was looking forward to sailing on Oasis because I haven't sailed on RCI since Anthem in Oct. 2019 and I hate to admit it but it was rather disappointing. Embarkation - Smooth as silk. Walked into terminal, scanned boarding pass , walked onto ship. Whole process took about 5 minutes Cabin - We had a cabin overlooking Central Park on Deck 11 and it was very good. Heard jazz music ...

This is my 27th review for Cruise Critic. Unlike some reviewers that join this group just to complain about a bad experience, I have, for the past 10+ years felt obliged to write about my cruise experiences. I am a professional writer in another life which tends to make my reviews long and thorough. If you want to know simply if we liked our time on the Oasis, just count the stars. If you want to ...

I have never sailed on an Oasis class ship. So we choose this ship for that experience and also it was sailing out of Bayonne, N.J. Which is only an hour and a half ride for us. Embarkment and departure from the ship was so easy and quick. No waiting in line, straight in, sea pass was scanned from phone, off to x-ray, sent to counter with no one ahead of us .. sea pass scanned again and ...

This is our 5th cruise with Royal Caribbean and I felt, the worst. We booked a September cruise because we believed there would not be as many children on the ship since school had recently begun. We were wrong. There were so many children, young and teens, on this cruise that it made it overly crowded(I heard the ship was at full capacity). Fortunately, the Oasis is a very large ship, so I was ...
