I've sailed out of Bayonne for every cruise except 3 and I've been on 10. It's location is headache inducing but better than the alternative, NYC. For 3 out of those 7 cruises I sailed on Explorer of the Seas, and it was wonderful. The vision was a OK ship, but not as good as Explorer. That being said, I think this is a gamble for RCL, and its going to pay off. Royal has never had 2 RCL ships sail out of Bayonne at the same time period. With Anthem and Adventure at the same time, there seeing if NYC area residents want two ships, and we do. I can speak on more than half of us when we say were sick of Anthem and its screw ups.
