Bayonne, NJ .... aka as 'Cape Liberty'

Sounds a little hokey, but I guess anything sounds better than "Bayonne".

RCCL names Bayonne port 'Cape Liberty'
28/1/2004

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. will name its new facility in Bayonne, N.J.
'Cape Liberty Cruise Port.' Starting in May, Cape Liberty will serve as a
seasonal home port to Voyager of the Seas and Nordic Empress.
'Cape Liberty Cruise Port is a fitting name as our guests will begin and end
their vacations with a marvelous view of the Statue of Liberty and lower
Manhattan,' says Adam Goldstein, executive vp brand operations for Royal
Caribbean International.

In December, Royal Caribbean signed a letter agreement with the Bayonne
Local Redevelopment Authority to construct and operate a new cruise port
facility on the former Bayonne Military Ocean Terminal peninsula, now called
The Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor. The location is 15 minutes from the Newark
airport and right off the New Jersey Turnpike.

Bayonne offers 'a lot of benefits,' according to Eric Ardolino, president of
A&S Travel in Wallingford, Conn., and a member of Vacation.com's advisory
board. No. 1, he tells Seatrade Insider: parking fees for drive clients will
be much lower than in New York City. Also, passengers won't have to fight
congestion and baggage/parking hassles at the West Side piers.

Voyager of the Seas and Nordic Empress will operate from Cape Liberty May
through October. Voyager's schedule alternates five-night Canada and
nine-night Caribbean cruises. Nordic Empress offers six- and eight-night
Bermuda itineraries. Royal Caribbean will use existing structures for the
immediate future. Long-term plans call for construction of a new cruise
terminal and supporting facilities.

How about Liberty Cay?

Liberty port has a special happy connotation for naval people so maybe
it might be called Port Liberty. Anyway, Cape Liberty has a nice
name-tie with the nearby Newark Liberty International Airport.
