The front desk at The Jane called me a cab, no problem, a quick scenic ride to Red Hook.

The timing’s kind of cool. Under the bridge and pass the statue late morning instead of 6am. Also harkens back to the day when when ships had to spend time in port to load coal.

Love,love Britannia DR on QM2. Hope io be back on board later this year. Love the winter crossings! Because the ship follows the Gulf Stream and the air temp generally is about the same as the average water temperature on my January EB was around 60 f. -

I always tip the cabin steward a twenty or so. They really appreciate it and compared to my overall spend it’s minimal -
I’m usually solo,usually fly in 3 days early to explore. I research neighborhoods etc. Has always worked well

Is whether the ship can leave you based on port?
paulco replied to Eli_6's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Also the tides matter in certain ports. Seen ships wait, seen em hand off passports to the port agent . High anxiety!!! -

paulco replied to mramella's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I love late MDR, it’s quite reasonable! -
The food was fine. Found it difficult to get a shared table at dinner, two of us, long lines for mtd. A bit of a mess. The maitrre d did apologize

Just FYI. They still crumb the table on Royal. Love it.

Funny story. I did. a b2b on Explorer last March. On turnaround day I went to old SJ. Back at the ship i went through the usual to board stuff and going up the escalator I realized it was going the opposite direction and I was about to board the Epic. Someone (me?) wasn’t paying attention! No problem at the Explorer dock. BTW the wine store at the dock seemed quite expensive to me.
