Your claim now is that you got hundreds of dollars of free liquor while sailing on Anthem yet your post is only about all the negatives you endured while sailing. Please do sail the other lines, all of them except Royal, you deserve a happy life which Royal does not deliver for you.

Enlighten this novice. The value of a diamond drink is up to $14, what more are you getting?

Do you work for Eurostar too? 😁 Can you get me a discount?

To be fair, all the UK complaints about Anthem and its repetitive production shows which is between May-October, it just seems like it is 12 months due to the number of complaints they have.

More sensical than your original post. Never saw a shortage of loungers on my 7 Anthem cruises. Had difficulty finding seating in the shade on those cruises. I have also endured the same production shows for more than 8 years without whining about it after every cruise. Yet you will endure such hardship, suffering and pain in the future all for up to $56 in free drink. Yes, that makes sense.😂

So there is no ranking as you twice claimed, just heresay. Thanks for the clarification.

Which generates complaints from the UK 12 months of the year!

In your first post you said you were told this. Now you are repeating it. Where is this ranking of cruise ships that you refer to?

Those that do not complain post their whines on this board.

Your ship will dock in Brooklyn on a weekday morning. NYC Ferry (South Brooklyn route) is perhaps a 4 minute walk from where the ship docks. It will be 20 minutes on the ferry to the Pier 11 stop. Then about a 1 mile walk to the 9/11 memorial.

Did a double take recently learning of a drama show titled "She Wrote Murder". I hope it is not an updated version of Angela Lansbury solving crimes dressed inappropriately.😁

Perhaps you missed it but earlier in this thread a 'warning' was given that allowing shorts in the mdr for dinner was just the start. Next would be dripping bathing suits and if still not bothered, it was only a matter of time until nudity was permitted.

Fairfield Inn in North Bergen NJ has a cruise package as does Hampton Inn in Ridgefield Park NJ to MCT. I am certain Hilton Garden Inn in Ridgefield Park has a MCT package as well.

Parking at Cape Liberty in Bayonne NJ is $30 per day. In December parking will be in the garage not the outside lots. If you look on the 'East Coast' board, someone posted that bus service from Pennsylvania to Cape Liberty is resuming. Anthem of the Seas has 2 indoor pools, 1 for all ages the other for 16 and above. By using the forward elevators, you could access both indoor pools without walking outside on the pool deck if the weather is not to your liking. Of my 3 December/January cruises from Bayonne, all had the outside pool deck closed on the last sea day. On 1 January cruise, a snow squall hit before the ship sailed. On the other January cruise it was in the 60's on the morning of the first full day at sea. Don't let the weather/temperature put you off. Anthem has many indoor facilities & activities if you do not want to be on the outside pool deck. Anthem's itinerary is to Port Canaveral, Nassau & Coco Cay. Coco Cay (in Bahamas) will be the best port call.

Hampton Inn in Ridgefield Park NJ has a sleep/park/cruise package for the Manhattan Cruise Terminal wiith round trip shuttle. I believe Hilton Garden Inn in Ridgefield Park has a package as well. There is 1 other hotel in NJ, I know it is in North Bergen, that has the sleep packgae. I think it is the Fairfield Inn.

Called to ask. Washers have 3 prices $3.75, $6.50 and $8.50. Dryer is 48 cents for every 10 minutes. Detergent is for sale. Credit card, debit card and notes accepted but not coins. Drop off wash and fold is $1.25 per pound. Walmart is a mile walk from Super Spin otherwise no where else close by to utilize your time. Another laundromat (Tropical Breeze) is 3.5 miles from Cape Liberty and is a 1 minute walk to Shop Rite (supermarket). Tropical Breeze has a website.

The hotels on International Boulevard in Elizabeth NJ near Jersey Gardens mall will not allow non guests to use their laundry facilities. The closest laundromat to Cape Liberty is Super Spin located at 81 Lefante Way in Bayonne, almost 3 miles from the terminal. They do offer drop off wash & fold service.

Hotel shuttle service at EWR is from station P4. I know car service is allowed at each terminal. I would think Uber/Lyft and taxi service is from each terminal as well.

Ashland directed you to Hampton Inn on International Boulevard in Elizabeth. There are 3 or 4 hotels on that street, all offering pay shuttle to Cape Liberty. Why Elizabeth is recommended rather than EWR area hotels located in Newark is that Newark airport area hotels are in isolated locations with limited and in some cases no dining options other than delivery. Downtown Newark hotels are a better choice than EWR area hotels but they will not have cruise port shuttles. Whatever hotel you select, you will meet their airport shuttle at station P4 of the air train(monorail).

It is the FIRST stop using the ferry.

There are people on the dock who have wheelchairs to transport cruisers to the tram station & back. There is also a ferry that travels between the dock and Columbus Cove (only). Be aware, there is a short walk, at times uphill and on rocky footing, from the Columbus Cove ferry dock to Columbus Cove. I found Columbus Cove mostly free of seaweed.

"got to make the best of (best of) a bad situation (bad situation) " Apologies to Gladys Knight & the Pips.😁

As Ashland pointed out, you need to define what 'best' means to you if you expect others to assist.

I have never felt disrespected by a person wearing shorts, daytime or night. I know the difference between sleepwear & shorts. Thinking that people wearing shorts is bizarre is(in politest way possible) extreme.

"in the evening". Do you mean in every venue or only in dining rooms?
