Some ports may have better parking options or have a larger variety of cruise lines to choose from. Meanwhile, cruising from a smaller port can have its benefits, too.
As we mentioned in the intro, the Bayonne cruise port is in a great spot. The port itself is small and out of the way from the city. In fact, one minor drawback is that nothing is within walking distance to or from the port, as you can see in the screenshot on the right. If your time allows for it, take a day and go visit the Big Apple. Royal Caribbean was the first cruise line to commission Cape Liberty. In fact, they were the ones to request that Cape Liberty be turned into a passenger cruise port.

In , Royal Caribbean made an agreement with the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority who owned the port to turn it into a cruise port. It was then that the port was renamed as Cape Liberty Cruise Port.
Anthem of the Seas offers a fun and amazing ride for thrill seekers of all ages. Choose from any Bahama, Caribbean, or New England cruise you want. You can also enjoy guest entertainers, live orchestras, Broadway, movies, and all the dining and bar options you could want.
A few options even take you to both the Bahamas and the Caribbean! The adults get to play over at The Perfect Storm, which features the dual racer slides Typhoon and Cyclone. Relax at the spa center, get some retail therapy at the onboard stores and shops, and enjoy live entertainment via an orchestra or an ice skating show!
Slated to sail out of New York in May , Oasis of the Seas offers a cruising adventure like no other. Along with a few favorites you might find on other Royal cruise ships, Oasis offers some brand new attractions that just have to be seen to be believed.
One such attraction is called the Ultimate Abyss. This has been dubbed the tallest slide at sea that plunges you into a dark descent. This is a great attraction for kids and adults alike! Participate in game shows, enjoy some reading in the library and card room, take a cupcake class, watch movies outside at night, take salsa dancing, put your little ones on the carousel, or do some gambling at the casino.
While Royal Caribbean is basically a theme park on the seas no matter which ship you sail on , Celebrity Cruise Lines offers a much more sophisticated experience onboard the Celebrity Summit.
On Celebrity Summit you get to view exclusive ballet performances by the American Ballet Theatre only available on select cruises. Enjoy luxury accommodations and unique dining experiences. Celebrity Cruise lines offers a wonderful relaxing vacation, perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or those going on a single vacation. Of the three airports nearby, the closest to Cape Liberty is Newark International, which is about 10 miles away. If you plan to spend a few days sightseeing and travelling around the New Jersey and New York area, whichever airport you use is up to you.
When you disembark at the end of your cruise, you will find a line of taxis waiting to take passengers to nearby hotels or to Newark International Airport or Newark Penn train station. What time you arrive at the port will depend on when your cruise ship is scheduled to leave, but you probably shouldn't arrive before 11 a.
Arrive at the port no less than 1. Check-in at Cape Liberty is notoriously chaotic. Finding the right line to get into is not always easy, and, for Royal Caribbean cruisers in particular, the tablet check-in technology used for boarding Anthem of the Seas does not always work.
Bring your patience; you might have to ask multiple people for directions. Once off your cruise ship, you'll need to pick up your bags before going through customs. As with most cruise ship disembarkation procedures, you'll find your bags in a color-coded area corresponding to the tags you were given on the last night of your cruise.
Porters will be on hand to help you get your luggage to your car. The terminal keeps a handful of wheelchairs on hand in case one is needed, but to ensure you'll have access to one for embarkation, arrange with your cruise line ahead of time. Cape Liberty is in the middle of nowhere. There are no shops or kiosks nearby. There is a soda machine, so you won't go thirsty.
But, if you realize you've forgotten something and you're already at the terminal, you'll have to wait until the shops onboard your ship open up or you get to your first port of call. There is plenty of sitting room at Cape Liberty, including lots of folding chairs and a handful of couches.
