Boarding in Bayonne, NJ

When boarding Anthem of the Seas in Bayonne, do they board from the front or the aft entrance to the ship? Also, we will be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn Staten Island the night before our cruise. Can the ship be seen in port from the hotel?

Don't remember if you board in front or rear. Really does not make any difference......

They only way you will see the ship from Staten Island is to look at the NY Harbor website before you leave your room....

There are 2 gangways, both are essentially mid ship......they don't always use both.

This pic has the gangways...you can only see one-the one that is most "forward" which is not that forward at all

.

Having only sailed to and from warm weather ports, it is strange to me to see the dock covered in snow!

It snowed in March when I was on the 3 nighter....I am kind of used to it..
