Bayonne (Cape Liberty) to the Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

INTRODUCTION: I am 76 years old and my wife is 73. She is still able to use fitness machines and walk considerable distances while I am limited in physical activities and always walk with a cane. That being said, our main enjoyment on a cruise comes from the availability of fine dining, musical and other “passive” entertainment and use of the pool facilities. We also enjoy touring places that ...

We chose this cruise as we had been on trips last year on both Cunard and NCL and wanted to try something different. Overall, the ship was lovely, but the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. The Anthem is a great ship if you want to be entertained. There is lots to do and the shows we saw were all amazing. We also did the escape room, bumber cars and i-fly activities, which you can ...

I chose this cruise because it was going to Haiti and Dominican Republic, some of the elevator buttons don’t work, some of the elevator call buttons don’t work. The carpets have fade marks on them as if someone vomited on them. (9th floor aft lobby). The electronics in the room are dated No USB plug ins. And they claim that medium shrimp are Tiger shrimp or Jumbo. The only way to get smaller ...

We don't like flying so this ship sails out of the NY area. The ship itself is starting to look a bit worn. Our Balcony cabin was very nice. Every time you called the front desk from our room there was always a few minute wait. This carried on though out the ship as it holds 4,600 guest and 1500 crew. Anywhere you went on the ship you were always bucking big crowds. Especially at dinner, we ...

This 9 night cruise has me very torn…first off, I’m still on the ship. We return tomorrow and I’m kind of cruised out. We had a great time but there are a few things that weren’t as expected. First off, this is my 5th RC cruise. My expectations were high as I’ve had such wonderful experiences on my past cruises. Getting on the ship in Bayonne was perfect. We arrived at the port at 10 am. ...

Embarkation was very smooth, one of quickest ever had. Cabins were not opened until 1:30 pm we were onboard before noon. Since you do not get your onboard cards until get to room you use your cabin number to charge drinks until then. Menus and most information all on RCL App with they tell you is mandatory to download before cruising. Pays to do it as speeds embarkation too. Yes you can cruise ...

Went on the 9 day Eastern Caribean cruise to Bermuda, Labadee, La Romana and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. While the cruise was nice and we had good weather, there lacks the specialness of pre-pandemic cruising. Still had a good time but things could be better. Pluses: We had a balcony which is always the best way to go if you can afford it Crew was always friendly with a ...

Our friends have been on this ship twice before and suggested that we book it with them. The ship was beautiful. We especially loved the Solarium, the staff was wonderful, but as I mentioned two things need to change: Casino: It should be completely nonsmoking. There was so much smoking going on, you couldn't breathe. And the crazy part is, that the staff informed us that when this ship is in ...

This marked our 50th cruise, many of which have been with Royal Caribbean. We went with a group of 20 people, 12 of whom were country line dancers. We left from Bayonne very excited to be going to the warm Caribbean. Embarkation went pretty smoothly except we had to go looking for our luggage down the hall and found someone else's luggage outside our stateroom. This was a first for us. Our ...

A large group of 18 people cruised to the Carrib5. Ma y of us were experienced cruisers and have done the same crusie in the past. Many cha ges occured. The menu in My time Dining was repeated throughout the trip. In past, you could make substitutions. If it wasn't in the menu, there was no negotiating. The food in the Windjammer was far better. The entertainers were great and I appreciate ...
