leaveitallbehind Posted February 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Looking for a Freedom class ship in Cape Liberty.Or Voyager class.:D Both have been there previously (Explorer and Liberty) and have been replaced by Anthem, which - despite the recent cruise setbacks - will be there for the long term. And to your question, Anthem leaves every week - sometimes just comes back a bit early...:D Edited February 28, 2016 by leaveitallbehind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted February 28, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Looking for a Freedom class ship in Cape Liberty.Or Voyager class.:D Those ships don't hold as many guests as Anthem, so I don't think Royal is likely to swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted February 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Then again...this experiment to have some of the larger ships port in Bayonne during the worst weather time of year might just be one more aborted disaster away from changing the strategy at RCI...some of us thought it was a bad idea to start with...

kevinyork Posted February 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Anthem is better suited to the mixed climate cruises from New Jersey given she has the indoor pool and Solarium. Seems a much better option for that departure point. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted February 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2016 You might be right,but i hope not.Have a great next cruise.:) What is your concern with Anthem or why the preference with a Voyager or Freedom class ship - just curious. We have enjoyed both classes in the past from Port Liberty but are also looking forward to cruising on Antherm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinfanatic Posted February 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Looking for a Freedom class ship in Cape Liberty.Or Voyager class.:D Might not ever happen. Anthem was designed for cold weather cruising. That's why it's there. Then again...this experiment to have some of the larger ships port in Bayonne during the worst weather time of year might just be one more aborted disaster away from changing the strategy at RCI...some of us thought it was a bad idea to start with... Royal has been sailing out of NJ since 2004. What's the experiment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbonz Posted February 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Well if the anthem is going to stay and YES I know it's a new ship why can't there be reasonable pricing as were on the explorer?. Or yes bring one of those ships back for a $10.000 grand suite on this ship or a $4.000 on the explorer BRING IT BACK. How long will royal keep this up be for people go some were else. All I want to do is cruise at a reasonable price. We have invested a lot of money to get where we are and would love to keep on going to pinnacle some day. P.S You can't even get a JS on the anthem for under $6000.00 on a good day now I was told once on the explorer once a bigger ship comes in the price will be lower....

CRUISEFAN0001 Posted February 28, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Royal has been sailing out of NJ since 2004. What's the experiment? That class ship out of that port...and with the previous Quantum class being hastily moved away previously...it can only be called an experiment. These costly disaster runs with this larger ship out of Bayonne will take their toll - financially (repairs & lost sea days) , image-wise to the public (bad publicity & cancellations), and internally at RCI (strategic plans). People tend to underestimate just how much of a problem this kind of situation can be for any cruise line, as well as how quickly things can change.

Clarea Posted February 28, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 28, 2016 That class ship out of that port...and with the previous Quantum class being hastily moved away previously...... The timing of the Quantum move away from Bayonne was due to Bermuda not being ready for that size of ship. Liberty filled in until Anthem was ready.

Royal will continue to over charge,as long as we are willing to pay crazy prices.IT WILL NEVER GO DOWN.I will not pay extra for dumb cranes or bumper cars.Looks like we will not cruise Royal for a while.Have a great next cruise,at Explorer prices.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
