When will RCI start cruising from NJ?

[dongordon]

When is RCI due to start using NJ as a home port.

Will they cruise from there in the winter, similar to NCL or only during the warmer seasons?

Is that what you mean?

Looks like they are only sailing up until November...no winter cruises!

Summer only (May-Nov) until at least 2007

Hi Don!

 

Mary from our Dawn cruise in February.

 

As indicated, I don't think RCI has NYC year round in their announced plans. Hoping that NCL's success and the new Brooklyn pier will help them change their minds, though! HATE Bayonne though. Did the Voyager out of Bayonne last August and disembarkation was an unmitigated disaster. From what I gather on these boards, it still is. Don't know why they can't get it straight.

 

Hope all is well.

Good to hear from you again.

I like the idea of the 9-day cruise on RCI...wish it was in the winter - February ( I need that President's week break!).

 

Looks as though I will be on the NCL Spirit next February as it is replacing the 7-day Dawn cruise.

 

How did you enjoy your Voyage cruise and how would you compare it to the Dawn?

What new pier in Brooklyn? When is this happening?:)

Amen! Let's hope NYC gets with it and expedites the Brooklyn site. What a bummer it was when RCL moved to Bayonne. Please come back RCL!!!

Red Hook Brooklyn ... I may be wrong... but aren't they shooting for Spring 2006?

 

 

I honestly don't know how well that's going to go over with people... the area that they are building it is HORRIBLY congested... Right near the Battery Tunnel... off the BQE...

 

I can't IMAGINE what the traffic will be like on Cruise days...
