Hi everyone, The Prima is scheduled to arrive in NYC the evening of 10/5 and won't officially set sail with passengers until 10/10 (yes, I'm booked to be on that sailing!). Does anyone know what the ship will be doing for those 5 days in between? I suspect it will be tours for media and travel agents. I would love to get photos of the ship with the NYC skyline in the background. The cruise mapper schedule doesn't show any activity for the ship during that window. Is there another site that may show more ship movement details? https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/new-york-port-98?tab=schedule&month=2022-10#schedule

What was the reason for the slight departure delay? Saw some passengers leaving the ship on the gangway last minute...

Low humidity and clear skies make for some good photos!

Sorry to hear of the results, Hoping it's mild and everyone gets over this quickly! I heard from other sources that boarding was more of a mess today with the Bermuda TA...

Thanks for all the photos! I do agree that the dinner portion sizes on the Joy do seem larger than while I got on the Bliss in early 2020. Might need to have them hold the bread if I do the double everything dining next cruise...

The portion sizes look to be about the same as what I found on my last cruise on the Bliss from NYC in the "before" times of early 2020. I'm a small guy at 145 lbs but can eat and ended up ordering 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts for dinner during my 14 day cruise. The waiters and I had a good laugh each evening. Good thing they didn't know I went to the buffet later to wrap things up!

I'm going to enjoy following you this week and hope you have a great time! Did you see me on the Starrett-Lehigh building balcony waving back at you? Couldn't make it to my usual Staten Island Fort Wadsworth location so my office balcony will have to do! Nice to see that fire boat running the water cannons. I was hoping it would do it closer by my location at 26th St.
