Royal Caribbean Bayonne (Cape Liberty) Cruise Reviews

This was a family cruise with my daughter, son in law, and 4 year old granddaughter, who stayed in the adjacent room no. 8 204. It was supposed to have taken place this past December, but my granddaughter test positive for Covid and RCI refunded all of the fare with our any hassle. We chose this cruise because it departs from Brooklyn. We live in Long Island and this was a no-fly cruise. The ...

There were a few good things however the bad significantly outweighed the good. It was way too crowded. The hot tubs and pools were overcrowded. The room was need of repair. Some of the hinges did not work. Also, the service for the room was poor. On one day they did not deliver fresh towels. The food in the windjammer was not great and there was not enough variety. At least the food ...

This cruise was a 9 year old promise fulfilled to my granddaughter. I promised to take her on a cruise for her 16th birthday. This was the year. We had a great time! We ate in the MDR, Johnny Rockets, Portside BBQ, the Windjammer, Solarium Bistro, Promenade Cafe, ordered room service and had lots of free ice cream. All meals were wonderful. We tried to have as many different dining experiences as ...

The ship was filled to capacity 100%. there was no social distancing because I could not avoid the crowds. I thought the ship would not be packed full. What a joke. I would have not booked the cruise this soon but at the time I was told I would lose my credits from the previous cruise that was cancelled. I would have like to wait longer because COVID is not over yet. We were all feeling a bit ...

We traveled with another couple and chose this cruise mainly because we wanted to leave from NJ and not have to fly to Florida to catch a Caribbean cruise; and also we liked the ports of call. Unfortunately we were disappointed in many respects. Starting with the embarkation terminal in Bayonne NJ, which had poor road signage leading up to it, so that we circled around this industrial area for 20 ...

In today's economic climate, things will change. It was inevitable that cruise lines will try to make up for lost time by booking as many people as possible. However, if you cruised anything in the past and observed the insane crowds it just became uncomfortable to do even the most menial things on this ship. Even trivia games were full capacity. Sure, over time it was ok to find some ...

It's been 5 years since we've sailed on Royal Caribbean although a Platinum member. We went with family including grandchildren that wanted to visit Perfect Day at Coco Cay. The ship has so much for every age to enjoy. Even though there were 6500 passengers waiting in line was not a problem. My only issues was two of us paid $1100 total for the Deluxe Alcohol package and on day 4 they ...

The ship is huge and there are a LOT of people on board. I wished I had realized the following~ 1.) As soon as you board (or before if you can figure out how.....because I could not), book your shows and book your specialty restaurants. If you buy a specialty restaurant "package" you are not allowed to pre-select a restaurant, date and time. 2.) I did know to do the above, and I asked ...

My family and I have cruised with Royal Caribbean many times and have enjoyed them in the past. However, in recent years the experience has become increasingly subpar and pedestrian. Our recent experience will be our last. Customer service is a thing of the past at Royal Caribbean. There are two statements that are independently true. 1. Royal Caribbean makes mistakes. 2. The staff ...

We booked this sailing after having a 2020 and 2021 sailing canceled. The weeks leading up to the cruise were stressful with waiting for the Bermuda travel authorizations, Canada travel authorization, covid tests, and then a last-minute phone call (4PM on 06/03) from the cruise company alerting us to a weather change from a cruise to Bermuda to Canada (where the temps were in the low 60-degree ...
