From the late 40's to the mid 50's, the Navy pier in Bayonne was also home to a second naval diving & salvage school...made famous by Men of Honor (most of which is actually not overly-dramatized and based off true events).
My first cruise out of Bayonne was in the old terminal (which I reminisce about as we drive past on our way out every cruise now), with the bus ride to the ship. I absolutely love the new terminal, very well organized.
I agree with @twangster -- even NCL's largest ships are really outgrowing the pier in Manhattan, so I'm not sure an Oasis class ship could dock there. Having lived in Weehawken previously and watching the ships turn in to those piers, it's a tight fit getting in and out.
Also agree with @BrianB -- probably the only downside is not getting the Hudson River sail out.

I prefer west to east, solely as you gain an hour each day rather than lose one.

We're on 8/24/24, so hope you're back aboard by then (or that you just love it so much that you extend out that first Icon contract 😉)

He always notes in suites that he doesn't fit in the tub/shower combos.
 
I'm 6'3" and very used to reaching an 8' crossbar. I'd put the ceilings around 7'6" in most cabins.

The legends on CDP are very much outdated. Royal simplified their deck plan symbols several years ago now: triangle = capacity of 3, asterisk = capacity of 4, 5+ box = capacity of 5+, shadowed square = obstructed view. They stopped trying to accurately track which rooms have pullmans and which have sleeper sofas. If you call and ask if a room has a particular setup, 50/50 chance the answer is incorrect -- and yes, I've actually seen it happen.
Also, bear in mind that GTY rates for 5 don't exist. Should you call to add the 5th person to your reservation before a cabin is assigned -- which can be quite late in the game -- there is a very real possibility that you will lose your GTY rate for passengers 1-4 and have to book at the prevailing rate for passengers 1-5 (and as we have seen with cruise pricing in the past 12 months, that will likely be higher than it is today).
Gaming the system only works until the system games you back.

I normally book by price, and daylight does have value to me...but I HATE low deck cabins. I just feel like I notice engines/thrusters/mechanical noise more. I'd probably go OV if it were a forward-facing or other mid-/upper-deck OV. But if we're talking deck 3 and the VB is on a mid-/upper-deck, I'd probably spring the $30 for the deck choice.

I have both flown on mileage runs and cruised for the points.
Cruised last year only because it got me to Diamond in time for a larger family cruise this year.

Mine aren't available on the app or on the site. I'm wondering if it's just a segment of points that are affected and unable to see their totals/tier.

This response from RC actually sounds on par with exactly what can be expected lately. You can call back and get a different answer every single time.

We're booked on it for next summer. Selling VERY well, especially the cabins that hold 3+. Going based off the FB group and the sales pattern, expecting a lot of kids.

I also get the "Oops" message on Oasis cruises out of Cape Liberty this Fall. So unless they're moving it for next summer and just blocked off all OA out of CL, regardless of year, then it's likely just another RCI IT issue.

Sounds like you're doing the Pfizer vaccine, which is only FDA-authorized as a 3-shot series. Therefore, you'd need all 3 shots -- with the third shot 14 days before sailing -- to be considered fully vaccinated.

And unfortunately, it extends far beyond cruising.

Evivia is the one we used. We sail this coming Tuesday.
