DW and I even had a very quiet afternoon tea in the Concierge Lounge right below the router in the ceiling. Nice and private. Use to bring treats to the suite.

Please keep us informed...... thank you..... Any hint sickness when you were on board. Thank you.....

I Hope it works out 4 U, trip u r looking at..

You don't want to be attracted to party boats but lines with a certain different approach like Regents and Cunard to name a few. Not what is called Mega ships. We've been attracted to Cunard and once HAL and never regretted. Looking forward to our next one in several months and there after.

Cunard, HAL...

The point I was trying to make was a lot of Product is already delivered. But remaining products to be displayed and sold maybe still containerized and not delivered to vendors.

Even though there is a lot in the city/country before Christmas delivered, the further deliveries are yet to come before the Holidays to the stores.

Their intention is make a point. My brother was a custom inspector then and remembered it well. He had to sleep on the pier, long hours. The harbor was darted with dozens of ships.

Only once in my 3 decades sailing. On the QE2 at sea that was like a percolator. Only once.

Heard from a NYHarbor longshore friend. It will impact and cripple if it happens. He works NY, NJ piers. Sounds like anything floats. Hope for early settlement.

Kathy, Do you think we'll be approached on the next sailing? How soon? Sailing Beginning of March 2025. In a Brit Club cabin now. Did give ok for upgrade consideration. Did enjoy & appreciate Grat Upgrade last time to PG. Bev thinking how to handle. Heading to CM tomorrow for 5 days for needed R&R...

Yes also... Quebec, French Onion Soup and Fish & Chips tour operator on tour bus told us connected to the terminal. Very French/English next to pier. Saw the ship....VG!

Kathy, We too ate on shore....some ports...

Or 181 Days to Go!

Had one during Bingo in Golden Lion - WOW great! But only once on the sailing if desired

One G&T Lemonade or Ice Tea Arnold Palmer Rare Basic Cocktail- Manhattan Enjoy Glass wine Mostly Maybe After Dinner Cordial All spread out over a 14 days sailing..

We will be sailing out of Brooklyn on next March 2025 and intend to park for a sailing with Cunard's QM2. We did park in 2022 and had no problem with space but did not have MSC docking there yet. We sail out of Brooklyn last July but was car service to the port. It was already occupied by cars from MSC the day before. But there was space and those coming earlier got close up. Others parked more deeper in. I believe there is space for handicap close up if you qualify. Some came in earlier than they were told to on their booking slips. So we all have to work out our moves on embarkation day.

It was fun noshing there on one of the sea days going to Canada for 4th of July. Eating a burger, hot dog, fries and icy cold beer on the open deck. Blue sky away from the crowds in the open air.

Hoping it will be restored for our sailing in March 2025 in the Caribbean and warm weather.

I must admit that the Hot Chocolate is good but the special one in the Golden Lion is super. Never tried the Mock's since I enjoy a regular Cocktail. Not a Coffee drinker, I do enjoy the teas especially my favorite Darjeeling or English Breakfast & Earl Grey. The Darjeeling served at the Champagne Afternoon Tea was superb. Personally steeped for you. Someday we have to try Sir Samuels. Satisfied with the drinks and services around the ship.

Honestly, we do not believe in these packages and never bought any since they were introduced. We know a friend - couple that sailed for the first time on Cunard and bought it and really didn't get any benefit related to their choices. They never bought them on another line they favor either If the package plan is a related to your needs and it works for you, great. But not for everyones.

Unfortunately there are those not sailing at the optune time to have such knowledgeable speakers on their sailings and think selected speakers aren't interesting as we enjoyed.
