Thank you so much for all this wonderful information!  We used to do the Park and Cruise through Hampton Inn in Ridgefield NJ but that place has become a dump.  This will be so much easier!

FWIW, we drove down and parked in Weehawken, NJ, almost directly across the Hudson from the MCT. We stayed at a Residence inn located at the Weehawken ferry terminal. Hotel and 8 days parking were about half of what a comparable package would have cost across the river in Manhattan. Morning of the cruise, we jumped on the 8 minute long ferry ride and walked the 15 minutes north  to the MCT.

Thank you for this great idea!  A couple of questions, please.  Did you park at the hotel or at the ferry parking?  Also, what ferry ticket did you  buy?  We will be boarding the NCL Breakaway on October 27th.  We’ve never done this before and know nothing about the ferry system.

We are just off the Oasis today, 10/24/21, and were still charged $175 for 7 days!  It was our first cruise on an Oasis class ship and we had a wonderful time with perfect weather and smooth seas.

As you have already experienced, they haven't changed their mind.

We boarded today.  The price has not increased, still $25 per day. 

I’ll be on the Oasis on 10/17.  I was wondering if you could ask someone when the Windjammer will start opening for dinner.  On the app, it does show dinner hours.  Thank you for all the news from your cruise and taking the time out of your vacation to post here.

Amazing photos, especially the ones showing how close she comes to the bridge.  Thanks for sharing.

I'm booked on the 11/14 sailing and feeling equally in limbo about it. But on the other hand, I'm 45 minutes by car to the port and have zero investment beyond the cruise fare that I'll have

We are also booked on the 11/14 sailing and I also have a feeling it might get canceled.  Because I can’t stand the thought of not going on a cruise soon after so many cancellations, I’m going to play it safe and switch to Oasis in October.

The on board booking OBC should transfer, not sure about the other $100. 

Thank you so much for your help!  I really appreciate it.

We received $100 for booking on board and $100 for rebooking within a certain time frame after a cancellation.

I’m thinking about changing my 11/14 Anthem to something sooner on Oasis.  We booked the Anthem cruise using a FCC and it has $200 OBC.  My questions are when we switch the cruise will we be able to use the FCC to pay for the new cruise, or is there a lag to reinstate the FCC before it can be used again?  Also, will we be able to keep the $200 OBC? Thank you for any advice you can give me.

In doing a little detective work, I see that the first cruise in Miami is Nov 20, 2021.  Is it wishful thinking that they may do a repositioning cruise from Boston to Miami Nov 7 - 20, 2021?

My Nov 2021 Beantown to Beaches cruise has been canceled.  I went to look for an alternative but it looks like they are pulling out of Boston completely.  Boston isn’t listed as a port anymore.

Thank you so much!

I just purchased the internet pkg for my cruise at a much lower price than I originally paid.  Now I cant figure out to cancel the other pkg that I bought last week.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to find out if the credit has been added to your acct and how much it is? I can’t seem to find anything on my account.

We were also on this cruise. We have been up since 245am New York time...we left on the 3rd flight out of Barbados and landed in Newark a little after 2pm. They chartered Air Canada 777’s which were very nice. Flight was smooth. I can’t say the same for after we landed. NCL had a few poor ladies to face 400 cranky passengers and I would describe the process of getting any info as chaotic. The only places they would take people were to the pier or Penn station. They only offered overnight accommodations for people with flights booked for tomorrow. There were several people that had come to the pier on chartered buses which would not return for them until tomorrow. They were told they would be driven to Penn station and then they would have to find their own way home. I felt terrible for them. We had used the Park, sleep, ride plan offered by the Hilton Garden Inn in Ridgefield Park N.J. They picked us up at Newark and drove us back to the hotel. By this time it was after 6pm and we felt that it wouldn’t be safe for us to drive home to Massachusetts so we opted to stay in NJ, at our own expense, better safe than sorry. Sadly, the whole experience was not what you would want for your dream vacation...

Is the walk to the Boatyard wheelchair friendly?

vigie beach , check out the comments on others threads as opinion vary, don't to be bias as i am a beach chair vendor. there are no pushy vendors and 6 booths serving food drink n wifi 2 handicap washrooms 2 regular washrooms and 2 showers.

Castro1n3, how much is your service? We will be on your island on November 5th with NCL Gem.

Call Hilton garden inn Ridgefield. They are 18 min from the port. Round trip limo to and from and free parking with your room for 309+ tax. Ask for brian

DO you have a direct number for Ridgefield? I called but was transferred to the generic line and the girl had no idea what i was talking about. Thank you!

Has anyone on the April 18 2017 Gem cruise gotten the email to upsell?

I just received my email about an hour ago for 4/18 Gem.

They were separate booking numbers... I was also was thinking that maybe we should offer to move, so someone that needs connecting rooms could use them. I'm just afraid to lose my onboard credit and great military fare that we got...

We booked with another couple in connecting rooms on Anthem. They have had to cancel. Will they change our room now?

13th fl?!

 

what are they closing to fit Moderno?

Star Bar? (I doubt Casey's.)

or are they making the spinnaker lounge smaller?

Yes, the Star Bar and annex room of Cagney's.

I just got off the Gem yesterday. I loved this ship! They are building the new Moderno on the 13th floor I believe, so there shouldn't be any interruption in the use of Moderno until they move upstairs to their new digs and that should be minimal. Enjoy your cruise!

Maintenance on Tortola or on the Gem? :D

They didn't say, but we went from docking there, to tendering there, to not going there, so it might be a problem in Tortola. Very little info given, and while I'm disappointed, I will be on a cruise ship and that's good enough for me!:)
