Adventure of the seas, first time to NJ?

Can someone tell me if Adventure is coming back to NJ or if this is her first time here for a stay? If she is back, when was she here? TIA

First time based there.

First time based there.

Was it Explorer that was there before Liberty?

Yes, Explorer was in Bayonne for many years.

Good my memory isn't totally shot, that was one ship/cruises we considered but never took.

Thank you.(y)

And Voyager was prior to that - it was the first ship in Bayonne (and our first RCI cruise, I think its second or third sailing).

Did Explorer go straight to Bayonne from Turku?

Hasn't Adventure spent almost its entire career sailing out of San Juan? It is going to seem odd to have the ship doing itineraries from different home ports.

Except for some summer stints in Europe, I cannot remember Adventure being anywhere else.

I sailed on her in 2003, and she was in San Juan then

Sorry wrong post.

Adventure was the first cruise ship to enter New York harbor after September 11. This was during her maiden voyage.

So it was just some sort of PR visit, right? She was not based there for regular revenue cruises.

Two (maybe three) years ago we were on the Adventure for a cruise from Southampton to the Baltics.

Best cruise, ever!

Correct, but I believe the christening ceremony was done in NY as well. Captain Remo told me the story about her arrival into the city so close after the tragedy.

No, Explorer started in Miami and stayed there until 2006(?).

I know Voyager, Explorer, and Navigator were all doing the Sat-Sat and Sun-Sun sailings out of Miami until May 2004 when Voyager went to Bayonne.

I believe Voyager stayed in Bayonne until 2006, Explorer moved to Bayonne in 2006 when Freedom came to Miami, and then Navigator left Miami and went to Europe when Liberty came out in 2007.

Thank you to all for your responses. Interesting information.

We will be on the AOS August 2018. We will be sailing from Bayonne to the Bahamas. Not sure when it starts. We have sailed on the Quantum of the Seas out of Bayonne also and now her sister ship the Anthem sails out of Bayonne. However the Quantum was perhaps the worst ship we have ever sailed on. The ship is poorly designed and cannot accommodate the number of passengers sailing on her.

We were very disappointed so needless to say, will not sail on the Anthem. Glad that the AOS is coming to Bayonne!

AOS is already sailing from Bayonne.:)

But DD was great, right?

DD has been gone for so long.

I'm probably one of the few who actually liked Dynamic Dining.

RCCL needs to stop naming boats with the same first letter. AOS = Allure, Anthem and Adventure.

AOS is already sailing from Bayonne.:)

I do not think she is back in Bayonne until November.

I believe he meant Anthem... hence the smilie face... :-D
