Bayonne (Cape Liberty) to the Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Departure port is important for me. I love this ship, even tho it is a bit too big for my liking. The review is mainly because of the cabin. Even tho it doesn't sell as an obstructed view cabin, this cabin has at least 50% obstruction. I wouldn't have chosen it if I knew about it. Everything else is not bad, except of the Main Dining Room food, which it was changed, and you can no longer ...

My visually disabled gf and her visually disabled family choose this cruise as a celebration of life get together for her family. We paid as much as possible in advanced, and asked about specific amenities (such as a reader) to assist her and her family. We were assured from the sales staff about capable the ship was. It was mostly hot smoke. Below are a list of issues that I would encourage any ...

Before I go into the review, I want to share that I've been on over 15 cruises, across multiple cruise companies, and a total of 5 on Royal Caribbean. Post-COVID we sailed on Harmony of the Seas (November 2022) and most recently on Anthem of The Seas (April-May 2023). Overall, we've been loyal to Royal, with the most cruises taken with them. We've always enjoyed the dining room experience and ...

Background: Mother-Daughter trip (ages 64/32) I am a loyal RCCL cruiser (diamond) and daughter catching up! We have been doing mother daughter cruises for a few years, along with other trips. I have also cruised on Celebrity, Carnival and Princess. Cruise: 7 Day Cruise left from Bayonne, NJ; stopping at Port Canaveral, Nassau and CocoCay with total three days at sea. We chose this ...

I could sit here for hours telling you all about the disaster of a cruise we just came off yesterday but I have a flight home to catch. Main issues; FOOD IS INEDIBLE AND NOT SAFE IN MOST AREAS--we watched some very unsafe food practices in the windjammer--most food here is constantly cold and the choice is shocking--believe us!!! MDR is so poor with over hot held food that has been ...

Our last cruise with royal was in 2016 and was the reason we chose to sail with them again. It was a nightmare experience. The shower was broken and we reported it to guest services. They told us maintenance would be by to fix it. Day 2 maintenance had not been by so we went back to guest services. This repeated until day 5 of our 7 day cruise! 5 days without a working shower, no apology or ...

My wife and I went on the Anthem of the Seas again and wanted to do a write up to possibly help others with this port and cruise itinerary. We left a day early and drove down from Ontario Canada to a small area just outside of Newark called Parsippany. We stayed here because it was located in a nicer area then the cruise terminal is located in and is much more reasonable to stay here. There ...

First off - I would like to preface this review with the caveat that we got very unlucky with the weather - which was unseasonably cold in the Bahamas and Florida during the measly 3 days this itinerary had us down south, so that definitely tainted the entire experience a bit. Embarkation - Very smooth. From our arrival inside the terminal to walking onto the ship, 25-30 min at most. Muster ...

I go a long way back with this cruise ship, and I still sail annually on this one. From a troubling experience during their second sailing, to a consistent very good one for all my sailings going forward. Checked in at 10AM and didn't board until 10:20AM. Muster station check-in was flawless. When I inquired about getting a personal table, that got resolved without issue since I was a Diamond ...

Our family of 5 cruised on Anthem of The Seas because the ship had so much to offer and we were not disappointed. Our family includes two 55 y.o. and a 25, 23 and 21 year old. We all had a great time. The entertainment was the best, we were never lacking in things to do. On the last 2 days we hit some rough seas but the entertainment never stopped and we kept busy attending all the offerings! ...
