    Food - what’s good, don’t miss or should avoid

    I think you’re doing your math backwards—unless I’m misunderstanding the point you’re making. If $15 of your cruise fare is allotted to the MDR, then paying $60 for Chops is really like paying $75, not $45. (Though, the value for the MDR food is certainly more than $15, so your all-in price for the specialty restaurant might be closer to $100.)  I agree that $60 is a pretty decent price for a 3-course meal in a restaurant, but I’m with those who say I spend a lot of money eating out in nice restaurants at home as it is. I might as well get the food I already paid for in the MDR. However, I have NOT eaten in any of the specialty restaurants, so I am completely willing to admit I have no basis for comparison and maybe the specialty restaurants are just so incredible that I would be weeping because my taste buds have never experienced such ecstasy. So, I don’t know, I’m sure someday I’ll try it.

    Definitely try one at least once. You won't be disappointed 🙂

    I was thinking the same thing.  I don't have any problems with the included MDR or Windjammer food, and I find it to be better than anything I could get at Applebee's, but sometimes I just want what the specialty restaurants offer.  And I do think the food in the specialty venues is better (subjective, I know).  .   

    Agreed. For the quality you would pay much more on land. The only thing not worth the money, IMO is Hibachi. It is more than on land and just the same.

    Staterooms are usually ready around 1pm, but didn't they change their procedures having your stateroom keys on the outside of your stateroom so you can go directly there when you board, get your keys, drop off your carry on, then head to lunch?  

    They lock the main doors so you can't get down the hallways to get to your room and the key there.

    In Biker19's defense... I was asking for ANY tips for getting thru Cape Liberty quick.

    I wouldn't take that tip BECAUSE I, like u, want to get on board ASAP (the only reason I stayed up until 12:11am when check-ins opened!

    ...BUT he did offer some insight I had not even considered.

    Again, I was hoping for any and ALL tips as those on this Board seem to be much more experienced than me... heck I sounded at first like I thought Cape Liberty was in NY (which I didn't but spoke wrong).

    I'm just trying to get tips from Subject Matter Experts!

    PS:  One tip I can offer to anyone flying in Newark... DO NOT pet a friends female German sheppard, just before you leave,  especially if they are in heat.  I did and was held by Airport security for over 4 hours (since I would NOT agree to a cavity search) until they effectively determined that their male German Sheppard Drug Sniffing Dog wasn't going crazy at me for drugs... the dog was just horny!  This happened right in front of my Boss, as we were going to France for our LVMH conference so be assured that listen closely to ALL tips and suggestions!

     

    OMG the last part of your post lolololol

    Understood 🙂 We left from there 4 years ago so it's been awhile. Actually the RCCL commercials say the NY "area". Probably to get more people from NY to want to cruise since it is so close. It really is not that bad though of a drive for many in the area and last time it was really easy to park and check in. Hoping the same this time.

    Lots of folks are like you mentioned and show up early - if you go late you won't be fighting that crowd.

    Understood but you are paying from 10am on so why would you want to lose out for many hours of a vacation you can start earlier? We have actually gotten on a cruise late like that because of flying in to the port and it felt more chaotic IMO.
