Anthem of the Seas did end up turning around heading back to its home port in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Anthem of the Seas is the second Quantum-class ship which currently operates cruises to the Southern Caribbean and the Bahamas out of Bayonne, New Jersey. The ship is 167,800 gross tons and can carry over 4,100 passengers at double occupancy.
