I do have a passport...and used facial when cruising out of Miami this past winter with no issues so hopefully... Its a Thursday morning...only hope is to be the first one off the ship and hope the rest goes smoothly from there.

That's the plan....cause 12 hours in NYC is going to cost a lot with that much time to kill.......flying Jet Blue so hoping its not too far from the drop off area to Terminal 5.

My flight just got moved earlier...to 10:57am out of JFK..worried now about making it there when we dock in Bayonne at 7am?.....that's close eh?

Ended up changing our flights to JFK...now they have moved them even earlier....concerned about a10:57am departurehow crazy is it to get from Bayonne to JFK on a Thursday morning?

Looking forward to my first cruise to Bermuda..and am looking forward to staying there overnight. I think its great way to explore more. Mine is a 5 nigther in Oct....I think there is a 5 night out of Baltimore that stays actually less time.....it only gets into port at 1:30pm and leaves 12:30 the next day. I'll take 2 full, days and a night there no issues. As for weather, i thought October the weather was nice in Bermuda..outside of a hurricane but that is true anywhere

Port of Bayonne to EWR..looks like it only a few miles away...anyone have experience with this? Is it a short quick ride over....or is it usually chaotic at the port to get out. It would be the only ship in port I would think so....?

Sure....why not. it would be one way to prevent pools from closing as often and being overcrowded. Why bother having a kids pool area that is hardly used as they all hang out in the main pools. But I don't know why 2 year olds needs to be in a deep pool to "swim"...seems to me that the kids area would be the place for kids to be

I agree that that show has changed., I couldn't believe it was an afternoon show on our last cruise on Freedom. I want to say it wasn't even on our Liberty cruise, but that was a short 3 day cruise. And on our cruise before that, it was not very well attended or that well done at all. We brought 2 new couples to cruising on Freedom and had talked about how much fun and crazy the Love and Marriage show can be. Was disappointed to miss it, as afternoon on a cruise in the south during wintertime, is NOT when i want to be in the theater for a show. That being said, the CD makes a big difference when it comes to that type of thing for sure. After having Marc "Bing Bong" CD for my first 4 or 5 cruises, i was spoiled as he is everywhere, all the time with lots going on and energy.

Kids should have to swim and play in kids pools.....pretty simple and easy solution. We wonder every cruise, and we have done a few, why the cruise lines don't enforce pool rules and/or make kids stat in the kids pool areas. Often the kids area was dead and empty on our Freedom cruise..they were all in the main pools and hotubs., I joked we should have taken over that area, but I am sure Royal would be quick to kick us out if that happened.

Sorry to hear that..although I would be pretty happy with itinerary change as I think much better stops imho. But i didn't hear anything abut it either.

Interesting.....never seen a duck like that on any cruise..heard of it but.

I would have zero money to spend anywhere if I booked Icon...prices are insane.... Prices have to start coming down..demand cant stay that high at those prices...so will defn be interested to see what happens over the next few months.

Awesome!!!!

I have sailed Brilliance a few times...and have Serenade booked for next February. They are all pretty similar, the only thing that I would say is that with no promenade and being smaller than Freedom class, it defn has a little more laid back, quiet relaxing feel to the cruise.

Anyone else on this 5 day cruise to Bermuda? We just sailed on her in early March and will be back on on October out of Bayonne.
