The cruise is on the Liberty of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean ship that departs the Bayonne (Cape Liberty) harbor (4 Port Terminal Boulevard, Bayonne, New Jersey) on Tuesday, August 15 at 3:00pm and returns Saturday morning at 7:00am.

In addition transportation to and from the terminal, some of the charges you will have to pay include parking your vehicle at the terminal during the cruise (currently $25 per day but subject to change) and any extra charges you incur on the cruise.

Internet service is available for a charge.

Cell phone service works in the terminal area; however, there is no cell phone service at sea. Cell service in Bermuda is based upon your plan with your carrier.

Unfortunately, no. The rooms that we are assigned only house two people. Royal Caribbean will not allow children or a third/fourth person in a room.

All rooms assigned to us will be with a balcony. Everyone has the same classification of rooms.

Yes! Our ministry is requiring everyone who goes on the cruise to have a valid passport that expires at least one month after the cruise ends due to possible issues that may arise.

All health requirements are set by Royal Caribbean. As of December 1 2022, proof of a COVID-19 vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test are NOT required. Royal Caribbean and the Center for Disease Control reserve the right to change this at any moment. Should these rules change, we will inform guests.

There is no sales pitch! 

The Pastors Encouragement Retreat is exactly what it sounds like: a retreat for you and your spouse to get away from the hustle of leading a congregation, relax, recharge, and fellowship with other pastors who are just like you. 

We will not try to sell you anything while you are at the retreat and we work hard to ensure no one else does as well. ription
