Rocketlady Posted April 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ok, Royal Caribbean is building or has built a new pier for all of us to use. Is it built yet? Or are they in the process? And it sounds like Bayonne N.J. is also developing the whole area near the pier? Some day they could have hotels, condos , businesses, shops, golf course, parks with walkways along the waterfront. Did they already pick a contractor or is this all in talking stages only so far. It is hard to find any news about Royal Caribbean pier . Just hope I am alive to see it all in the end.

njhorseman Posted April 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2014 AFAIK, lots of talk, but no work done yet. You can forget about the idea of having a new terminal ready for when the Quantum arrives...they'll be lucky to have it ready when the Anthem starts cruising from Bayonne.

megr1125 Posted April 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2014 There's been talk about developing that area for years.... Hasn't happened yet... Probably will not happen, other than the new terminal....which as njhorseman said, MIGHT make it for Anthem...:rolleyes::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketlady Posted April 28, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We probably will never go back to NJ pier any way. We take cruises in the winter so prefer to go out of Fla. and not deal with snow storms. Thanks for the information. AFAIK, lots of talk, but no work done yet.

Post Captain Posted April 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Ok, Royal Caribbean is building or has built a new pier for all of us to use.Is it built yet? Or are they in the process? See below (re. bribes, kickbacks, & lawsuits). And it sounds like Bayonne N.J. is also developing the whole area near the pier? Some day they could have hotels, condos , businesses, shops, golf course, parks with walkways along the waterfront. This is already the case along the New Jersey riverfront from Jersey City through Hoboken up to Weehawken: http://hudsonriverwaterfront.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=23 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_River_Waterfront_Walkway But I'm not sure what progress is being made on the Bayonne section of the walkway. There are, however, two major golf courses abutting the waterfront. You can see this one from the upper decks of the ship at the dock: http://www.bayonnegolfclub.com/ The Barclays, an annual tournament on the PGA calendar, has been held twice at this one: http://libertynationalgc.com/ Did they already pick a contractor or is this all in talking stages only so far. I'm not sure. It takes time for the bribes and kickbacks to be arranged and for the lawsuits to be settled.:D It is hard to find any news about Royal Caribbean pier . Just hope I am alive to see it all in the end. LOL It depends on your life expectancy!:D I'm not holding my breath.:eek: When the project was announced (nearly a year ago), they projected a completion date of October 2014: http://www.marinelink.com/news/terminal-bayonne-cruise356935.aspx If you believe that, I've got a nice old bridge to sell you.;) In any case, RCCL has changed its mind about basing the Quantum at Bayonne (aka Cape Liberty): http://www.nj.com/jjournal-news/index.ssf/2014/04/bayonne_port_loses_big_ship.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
