  1. 18% will be added to the cost of each drink without the FAS.
  2. Sandy was a whopper, largest power outage in US history. So many homes and vehicles destroyed. I believe the airport long term lots are also uncovered and on the ground.
  3. Lived in NJ for over 50 years, experienced several hurricanes, own 4 vehicles but not a garage, I haven’t heard the parking in Bayonne is prone to flooding so cars should be fine.
  4. What is the difference between giving it to a porter and then entering the terminal, vs. giving it to a porter and leaving the area? We always drop off at 9. Now, I wouldn’t be comfortable planning on checking in at the absolutely last minute.
  5. So you expected your son and friends to lose their vacation money so you don’t have to worry? My son and friends traveled to Colombia for 2 weeks last year (they did hire some guards, 1 of them lives there for half of the year). They can decide if they want to get off of the ship.
  6. In our case it was a white board, other magnets were left.
  7. If you mean connecting you are probably correct. I’ve always watched fares on NCL, I book early, not once have I seen a price drop, even after final payment. We usually booked weeks when the kids were off from school at least one day.
  8. Keep in mind Uber rates are fluid, and you are in rush hour (which is several hours). I’d say $80 is average, my daughter and 20 friends Ubers into the city last night, I think $70 going in, but a lot more coming home at 2 am. Where are you putting luggage? Daughter’s boyfriend is flying back to Florida today, flight already delayed an hour. Being local, we tame trains during rush hour, 10 miles west and it’s a good hour with traffic.
  9. NCL doesn’t have nurseries. I’d look at RCL shops with nurseries, plus a handful have small splash areas for diapered kids (depends on the ship). DCL is the only line that has splash pads for all.
  10. We stole a bag once, party of 9 and grabbed an extra. Fortunately we were close to the airport the person was flying out of. NCL does not employee the folks who work at the port, and the folks working at the port can’t prevent people from taking bags.
  11. Since cruises don’t guarantee destinations we cruise more for the ship.
  12. NCL really doesn’t have a dress code except for a couple of restaurants, on some ships the largest MDR asks for pants, but I don’t think that’s the case on breakaway.
  13. NCL had 2 different airfare programs. The buy 1 get 1 has decent fares, but can have crappy flights. If they are delayed or cancelled you are on your own. Premium air is different, but more expensive.
  14. The FAS UBP allows unlimited bottles of wine to be taken onboard.
  15. But NCL’s is $21 a day… I don’t think those two cruises can really be compared in cost if NCL’s was sailing close to Easter, April 2025, although might’ve dodged a bullet with tons of kids onboard.
  16. A balcony will have a queen that can be split into two twins and a sofa bed.
  17. It’s a math question, if you drink more than one drink a day, it’s worth it. If you want to bring bottles onboard, it’s worth it.
  18. Of course not! Heck she could be just a little fluffy. She could be pregnant with twins. I don’t think HIPAA allows one to ask, especially something like pregnancy when many measure bigger of smaller. I measured a lot smaller with #1 than #4/#5 at 23 weeks.
  19. No $$$$$ popcorn? I always purchased when they came to my door, but give me $4 cookies any day. https://scoutsmarts.com/bsa-boy-scout-popcorn-costs/#:~:text=Why is Boy Scout popcorn,troops and individual Scouting careers.
  20. I live about 20 minutes from cape liberty and manhattan cruise terminal, I have 5 kids who’ve either graduated college or are in college (heading to Denmark/Italy/Mexico for break, 25 year old heading to Boston this weekend). I don’t recall hearing about any of their friends cruising for spring break, and 4 attended NJ colleges. Here’s a long list https://www.studentcity.com/plan-a-trip/when-is-my-spring-break/
