Got there a little late, I guess. Reserved section was pretty full. Preferred to maybe get a seat with an empty on either side of us.

And you'll pay accordingly for that opportunity.  If I can save 150.00 or more and only delay my home arrival by a half hour or so, it's certainly worth it to me.  There is certainly no reason to rush home to do wash

I highly doubt any place in New York is charging so little for parking.  Actually the rates in Bayonne are reasonable compared to the Piers in NY

If you don’t mind a little inconvenience, you can park at Secaucus Junction and take the train in then cab over, or park at the ferry terminal on the jersey side and ferry over then a cab.

Day 3 Paul Hughes 

 

Frank Sinatra type of music … he referenced Michael Buble a lot … I am a huge Michael Buble fan met him a few times been to a lot of his concerts and I really like this genre of music, but I didn’t think he was great.  It was a good show and entertaining but that was about it.

Can't wait to see pics tomorrow. Great change in venue and use of space since the Aqua show is a no go.  Phoenix packed the Music Hall when I saw them in September on a non-crowded ship. I can't even imagine how packed the Music Hall is now when they play.

Wow, this is great - 7 night parking is a total of $42.45 vs $175 at cruise terminal.     

Uber is probably $10 plus tip each way.  Save a little over $100 per week.     I will definitely use this for our future cruises, especially since we like to do b2b's and the 11 or 12 nighters out of Bayonne.    Thank you!

You're welcome.

If you clicked on the link I provided in post 373, you would realize that the location is near EWR and not NYC.  Why would anyone park in NYC for a Bayonne cruise?  The official parking at the Bayonne terminal is 25 and is rumored to be going up to 30.  Manhattan cruise parking is I believe 45 a day. So, Bayonne at 25 a day is certainly cheaper than Manhattan, but the place I found is still substantially cheaper.  

I just like to pay it forward and try to save people money.

first no Aqua, no CC in the room,  no escargot until day 5, not so great entertainment AND now NO Makers? Bulleit? or Buffalo Trace?. They better be ready to rebate me some of that very costly drink package i purchased!!!
