    No, there is a range, I believe the majority are in march thought. This list just shows the most popular weeks, and what state the colleges are in. My kids have had spring break all of the weeks in march (6 different universities). I’d assume most college students would prefer to drive to the port, so location can make a difference.

    Ncl will book the cheapest.

    Most college students turn 21 during their junior year, so they have 2 years of being legal in undergrad.

    The majority of public school spring breaks are later in march/April in the northeast, colleges are mostly in march. https://en.as.com/latest_news/when-is-spring-break-2024-complete-list-of-dates-for-us-colleges-and-universities-n/#:~:text=In 2024%2C the majority of,also check out the following.

    Except for me, I’ve never seen a porter on the parking deck level of the MCT, we bring our bags down the elevator and check luggage with porters there.

    I’m guessing this will be moved to the NCL board. Some of your questions vary by ship. NCL is casual, but really wear what you want, especially if you want photos. We’ve never found the need to book reservations in a MDR, we show up when we want to. Specialty dining should be booked, but reservations are held back so if nothing you want is available, check when you board.

    I’ve heard they do not, but folks do cancel.

    I drink alcohol, coffee, tea and water, but A TON of water, gallons a day, all day long, I bring a yeti and fill it up at the dispenser, using a clean glass like the sinkage says.

    You never would’ve made it, at Newark we arrive 2 hours before our flight, 3 hours international.

    I think it’s expensive for what you get, $100 for beach and pool access (paid $15 for this pass 15+ years ago). Plus it’s walking distance, minus it’s a harbor beach, same beach as Junkanoo for free (but no pool).

    But if you take the free at sea alcohol package you can bring on unlimited bottles with no corkage fee and drink them anywhere.

    It doesn’t include water or specialty coffees, or fresh juices. You can pay extra for the next level package. I do appreciate being able to bring on all of the wine I want, and I’m fine with the ship’s water.

    I’d say stick to after noon to be safe. We live in NJ about 20 minutes from the MCT if no traffic. We’ve been home by 8 am, but one Sunday disembarkment was a mess with the port short staffed, and we didn’t get off of the ship until 10:45 (after lining up before 7 am).

    The health center is owned and run by a 3rd party, they are in charge of determining if medical care is better provided on board or off. It’s a for profit business, I’m sure they’d have loved to collect money from the patient if it were safe to do so.

    Only those who book haven suites have access to the haven proper (on some ships there are suites that have access who aren’t adjacent to the haven, but can use the facilities and have a butler and concierge). Stays doesn’t give access. Haven guests do not have access to the the spa or vibe, that us still extra.

    Those are not cruise ship employees, I’ve had good and bad experiences at the MCT.

    New to cruising? They can change or eliminate ports for any reason, not allow cancellations (with the amount of times cruise lines change ports they’d be out of business, sometimes there is something on the ship needing repairs, sometimes weather, some time political unrest, sometimes tides…). How many times do passengers board warm weather cruises and end up in Canada?
  18. mjkacmom
    If they delay a ship, and it gets to the port on time, a lot of money was spent on fuel.
  19. mjkacmom
    You let them know before boarding that you will need help getting on and off the train, they don’t actually check luggage but will put it somewhere.

    Phil Murphy is not a happy governor.
  21. mjkacmom
    If there is it will be expensive, and there won’t be a shuttle.
  22. mjkacmom
    Paid for them to go from stop #2 (NCL couldn’t dock) to stop,#3. The passengers paid to get to #2.
  23. mjkacmom
    I’m sure their travel insurance will cover those costs.
  24. mjkacmom
    Guest service will give extra key cards.

    I guess I am too, it was obvious a mistake but I didn’t edit.😂
