Review summary

Bayonne port is really organized. Boarded ship easily with birth certificate and drivers licence. Room was ready by 1pm. Great Ship. Probably wouldn't go again in March. Missed out on CoCoCay-rough seas for tenders boats. Food was good. Wish there were more soda machines. The one on Deck 4 in the pizza place seemed to always be under maintenance. The other ones are in Windjammer on Deck 14 and there's one on Deck 15 by the hot dogs. Always nice to go away for a break and not have to cook😊

Lots of storage. Nice to be able to check the menu for the day in the Main dining room on the TV. Check your account on the TV often to keep up to date on any charges RCI is giving you. There are hooks in shower but not a clothesline to hang up wet bathing suits. Also, bathroom has a nite light that stays on as long as u have your card in the slot to keep the air conditioning/room lights on.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

Excellent place to leave from-Royal Carribean Staff is very organized. Easy on and off ship.

We had to skip this port because the sea was too rough for the tender boats. Apparently it happens quite often-at least in March our waiter said.

Blue Lagoon Beach excursion was worth every penny. Lunch included was delicious. Loved being able to check out the dolphins and sea lions. Water was too cold for me to swim (in March).
