If you want to walk you will need to say which of the three piers you will be at and how far/mobile you are.

Looks like we dock at North pier.  No problem walking but not looking to do a marathon

Looking for recommendations on a restaurant within walking distance from cruise port?   

Where can you watch football games on Reflection?  With playoffs on Sunday the 28th and then Super Bowl on Feb 11th, good chance someone will want to watch the games…

Anyone have list of benefits of Casino Royale tiers?  I believe one benefit is free drinks while playing?  And Does Celebrity honor same benefits from Casino Royale while cruising?  

Having cruised on 30+ cruises on 6 different lines, there will always be experiences. Good and bad. In the past several years the cruise industry has struggled with staffing. Not much different than land based restaurants and hotels.  Many of the exceptional employees elected not to come back into the service industry since Covid.  
 

Having cruised on Princess, Royal, Celebrity and NCL in the past 2 years, they all had hiccups.  Food quality has decreased across the board..even in the specialty restaurants.  And since I see that happening in high end restaurants on shore, makes you wonder about the suppliers.

I consider cruising to be about relaxing with family/friends and viewing the beautiful ocean.  Great way to meet new people and see the world. Make the most of your time on earth…looking forward to celebrating 2024 on Sky Princess this weekend. 

Heres the scoop…the terminal opened doors for Elite/Platinum/suite guests at 10. Go inside and checkin with passports. If u have medallion, they activate it, check your photo and passport. If not, a different line. Go upstairs to waiting area. Elite lounge has coffee, juice, pastry. Boarding is at 11

So how early can you check in?

Can you arrive earlier than the Group status on app?  Elite was always priority.  In speaking with customer service, they stated just show up.  That just doesn’t seem right. 

Heading out on the Norwegian Breakway in September out of NY.  Need recommendations for these ports…

• Portland,Maine
• Bar Harbor,Maine
• Saint John,Bay of Fundy
• Halifax,Nova Scotia

Any recommendation? I know about the blue flags but I'd like a recommendation of someone that isn't the typical tour that can be booked on the ship
