    Ships to start sailing half capacity in August from Bayonne

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Just read an article that ships will start sailing at half capacity from Bayonne in August. It said ships with 6,000 capacity will sail at 3,000. How will they decide who will be sailing. I booked a sailing last year so is it who booked further out in that order?

     

    BAYONNE, NJ - After extensive discussions with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, local and state health officials, and the Office of Emergency Management, Royal Caribbean is planning to sail its first cruise ship out of Port Liberty in Bayonne in August, TAPinto Bayonne has learned.

    “Right now, we’re hearing the first ship will leave in August at half capacity,” said Mayor Jimmy Davis. “This means that if the ship can accommodate 6,000, then 3,000 will be allowed on board.”

    Royal Caribbean suspended operations from Bayonne last March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Here was a post with it.

    Ditto ... download/re-installed "newest" Cruise Norwegian App just fine on iOS 12.x on iPhone; and, on Androids, stock Oreo & Pie roms on Moto and Xiaomi dual-sims global.  

     

    Having issues, uninstall the old ones, reboot (clear dalvik & cache in Androids) and clean install newest one from Play Store.  

     

     

    Yes, especially if you want and plan to use the calling function, an optional feature (priced @ $9.95 as one-time fee, good for duration of the cruise on the ship) ... you log into the App with your MyNCL dot com's userid and password.  "Cookies" are placed/stored on each device based on its unique MAC address ... and, an 8 digits mobile number is assigned by the onboard server system.  Be sure to turn-on Airplane Mode & re-enable WiFi to connect to the ship's inTRAnet.   

    Thank you!

    I’m on the Gem now on the two week Carribean!

    Solo socials every evening at 5:30. Dinner at 6:00 followed by the show. 

    Mostly 55-80 age group. A couple younger onescame once. They did really stick together for tours etc. I pre booked all my own!

    Many solos did not get off the ship at all! Not me!

    I only attended a couple socials and dinners. I’m very used to solo cruising and do my own thing! I like to see sunset better than dinners!

    I will be on the May 3rd Bermuda than I’m back to Holland America, also great for solos!

    Bring inhalers ifyou need them! Many people have a sudden severe pneumonia! They are walking around with IV’s in! Probably viral but severe sudden respiratory distress. 

    It has been a good cruise but just too crowded for me! I’m at the spa everyday and really enjoy it!

    Many not aware that “free” amenities come with a cost! I always do sail away rate so no problem for me!

    Internet slow and expensive but functional. 

    I’m sure that you will have a great cruise!

    If you want to plug in something with a North American plug, it would require at least an adapter. Most chargers are dual-voltage (110/220) and would require no converter, but check this before you plug anything in.

    Sorry about incorrect info about outlet availability, there is NONE.   There is a 110 volt outlet by the desk and another 220 volt outlet on the opposite long wall by the refrigerator.  Some of the cabins (not all) had been updated (from our 2018 Gem cruise, also on a cabin crawl & saw various categories) with bedside USB charging port but they aren't of any use.  

     

    Yes, you can bring a (long, 12' or 15') long extension cord, just not one with a power strip with surge protection due to maritime fire safety hazards.  Route that along the wall under the bed to minimize tripping hazards. 

     

    I am in an aft facing cabin where the door is on the side, the beds are at a 45 degree angle from the door, bathroom, closets...

    So ther is ONE outlet in the cabin area?  Wow.  I have seen so many inside cabin floor plans so I don't have a clue how ours will be set up.  Do you know if you can use adapters that turn one outlet into two or three?  (no surge protection).  Are they grounded plugs (three pin)?

    Are there outlets by the bed in an inside cabin?  My wife uses a CPAP and I use a mobility scooter, just wodering about outlets.  I have been told by Customer Service that there are but they can't always be trusted.  I was also told I can bring extension cords on board.  True?  I just don't want to make a fall hazard.  Any info will be appreciated!
