There is also another way if you want to save a few dollars- Take the Airtrain to Jamaica and then take the E subway into the city instead of the LIRR. It also can give you more flexibility depending on your final destination.

I have usually found Lox (smoked salmon) in the Windjammer almost every morning. If you don't see it just ask. Sometimes it is not on display The bagels are available at the bread station, toasted or plain and Philadelphia Cream Cheese in pre packaged portions nearby.

Do the online TA get these prices also?
-
can these prices be booked by someone who is not a travel agent?

An easy rule of thumb to go by is that if it is not pre packaged but cooked on the ship and there is not a special group kitchen as mentioned above, then it probably is not Kosher all year round and especially on Passover. However, we know that everyone's definition of Kosher varies, and you can always ask to speak to the Executive Chef to see what arrangement might have been made.
-
Regular pre packaged Kosher meals must be ordered through the Special Needs department about 2 to 3 months before sailing and more than that for cruises starting outside the US. Kosher for Passover pre packaged meals need more time than that. Details can be found on the Royal website.

I have cruised a number of times over parts of Passover and there has always been Matzah. Ask your waiter or Maitre D'

Thanks for all the advice. I am a long time Royal cruiser but never at this time of year. And yes, I am trying to avoid it but there are other factors pushing me to sail at that time.

So am I correct that there were loads of kids and youth running all over?

Different Check-In Times?
Badatz2 replied to handbellplayer's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I had the same issue and just came at the earliest time. No one cared. -
I was just wondering if cruises that end on Easter Day are usually heavy on children. I am particularly interested in the bigger ships, Freedom and above. Perhaps I could get some advice based on recent past experiences. Thanks

It also depends on where the ship is sailing. I know that they have used a different supplier in Germany (and maybe still do) than the one shown in the picture which is US based. I agree it is always best to ask a crew member to show you the packaging. They always do it.

Now that Bill Brunkhorst is on the Explorer he should be removed from the Granduer since he left two months ago. -
Maximum Age Limits for Shore Excursions
Badatz2 replied to loveandcruises's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Probably not always true. I used the same provider in Skageway -
I have always seen a counter, usually near the omelet station, with loads of individual portions of Smucker's peanut butter, and varied flavors of jam. All types of bread were located nearby.

In terms of ease and efficiency I would go with the bus but it it is not the fastest. It has 3 stops only. Near Grand Central Station,, Bryant Park and Port Authority Bus Terminal. This might not be helpful in this specific case but it's good to know for other travelers. You put your bags under the bus , get on, and get off in midtown

Icon not worth current prices
Badatz2 replied to PhillyFan33579's topic in Royal Caribbean International
You can find similar numbers on a lot of the Royal transatlantic cruises. Once on the Serenade from Barcelona to New Orleans we had 6 kids and the Captain almost got a standing ovation when he announced it at the theater on the first night. -
Issue with facial recognition with disembarkation
Badatz2 replied to thjeepster's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
We had an issue like that a few years ago and the RCL personnel asked us if we bought anything on the ship. We did, a $40 watch, and when we went to the custom officer, he said he didn't understand why we were called out and said we could go. -
My bad. As a native long time New Yorker the only ferry is the Staten Island Ferry. We call the new boat service a water taxi. Although I do remember paying 5 cents for the ferry from Manhattan to Brooklyn before the Verrazano Bridge was built.
-
There is no "ferry across the river from South Street" to Brooklyn. That ferry goes to Staten Island which is not where the OP wants to go.
-
There is a direct bus from EWR to Manhattan with stops at Port Authority Bus Terminal, Bryant Park on 42 st and Grand Central station. It runs about every half hour. Very convenient and hassle free. All three stops are a short walk to the theater district.

We had Carly on the Serenade. She was very good and very accessible. Enjoy
