We are arriving EWR airport and staying at Embassy Suites, Elizabeth, NJ. I understand Embassy Suites has a shuttle but you need to take a airport train/tram to another location for pick up. What are the other options for transportation to the hotel that would not require us to take a train or tram? Is there taxi or Uber pick up right outside from the baggage area. We are seniors and would like to not have to schlep our bags to another location.

Have you checked Amazon for cordless heating/warming pads for travel. There are several pages of various types.

Seniors here, walking about how far is that?

Is there a CVS or grocery near the Hilton?

Can you explain what butter chicken is?

Great start I'll be following along.

Thanks I'll email you at a later date. Have a great time.

Will you be posting a live review? I'm looking for info about cruising out of Galveston. We don't cruise until next year but it doesn't hurt to start checking now. We'll be flying into Houston, need transportation to Galveston, recommendations for hotel for 2 nights near CVS, grocery store misc for seniors. Things to do or see for one day pre cruise. DH has a slight walking disability. We did Panama & Columbia on NCL a few years ago we loved it. Have a great cruise!

Some Oasis class ships the aft elevator hallway on deck 7 is blocked by the Boardwalk sign from port to starboard side. Is this also true on Harmony?

That's awesome may I ask what disability your daughter has. We have a special needs granddaughter and trying to decide if we could take her & her parents on a cruise.

We loved Allure!

No Studio B, the venue 270 had very poor seating never enough room for the activities they held in there, there is a Esplanade but I'm partial to the Royal Promenade. Not a fan of the 4 closed in dining rooms, again partial to the elegant 3 level dining rooms of the other classes of ships. But stiil a beautiful ship and we had a great time.

Liberty of the Seas was our first RCI ship in 2008. I love all the RCI ships with a Royal Promenade big or small. Not a fan of the quantum class. We'll be sailing on Liberty of the Seas again in May I can't wait!

Age 😬

age 70's - 80

Were any of you Bella cruisers late 70's - 80?

Thank you I'll make a note to use Lyft if the hotel we stay at doesn't have a shuttle.

Do you mean dropping right by the porters? On one of our cruises the uber driver dropped us about a half a block away from the porters I believe he didn't want to get in the traffic back up. We then had to drag our bags to the porter area.

I would like to know where Lyft drops off on embarkation. Two elderly folks dragging luggage a block from porters is not pretty.

We usually book a JS the 2-2 date is about $600 more than the 1-19 date😬

Thanks so much for the info. Can you recommend hotels on the Sewall that would be close to a CVS or store & restaurants. We are late 70's & DH walks with a cane slower than a snail. We would most likely arrive on a Friday afternoon so would only have Saturday to see some sights. Is the trolley like a bus line or a hop on hop off?

Any grocery store or CVS in that area?

I read somewhere here on CC that Lyft has some kind of contract with Galveston Port.

I had to change our cruise date to 4-7-24. How bad will it be if we come in on Friday 4-5 due to that Ironman event? Will we be able to get around without a car or be able to see any sights or take any tours on Saturday?

That date is perfect for us as long as we stay healthy😀 I just booked Harmony for April 2024 Western out of Galveston.
