We are staying at Hampton Inn Ridgefield Park NJ. They have a shuttle to and from the port. We have stayed here before. It's costing 331.27 USD. 

Hi, we are looking into staying at this hotel also. Did you book the shuttle transfer with the hotel or on your own? If so, which service did you reserve with? 

Thank you!

We just booked the 9/23 6 day New England / Canada cruise in front of this one to make a 21 day B2B. Can't wait!! 😀

Change in plans!  Decided to sail the week after this.  Only guarantee balcony cabins available and I just didn't want to take a chance on this long sailing.  Have a great cruise!

went back and looked for ships in port on cruise mapper.  Nothing has changed, still the same.  We had 8 days till our ship sails from Barcelona, and that will be on You Tube.  Total of 132 days to go.

Hi,  I would really like to take this cruise but I'm having a hard time convincing my husband to cruise out of New York.  I have checked the flights, where to stay, and the cruise port, and everything looks good.   Please give me all of the positives of taking this cruise.  Thanks

New York is our home port so we might be biased, but the sail away from New York is the absolute best, bar none! 

[JOHN 57]

Good morning 4 days till, our ship sails out of Barcelona, total 19 days till our ship arrives in New York on 13 June.  Jamman54, we will soon in 128 days put your statement that New York is the best port to sail out of.  

[JOHN 57]

Good morning our ship is on the move  2 days till our ship arrives in Barcelona, 17 days our ship arives in New York, and 126 days till our turn.

[JOHN 57]

Although not my first time seeing the Lovely Lady, sailing away with the Statue of Liberty in the background literally gave me goosebumps when we did Canada on Princess a couple years ago. It turned out to be our last cruise before the Covid shutdown. Ugh...

With that memory, we purposely booked an aft wraparound for this Sept just so we could thoroughly enjoy that unique NY departure. I may bring a red/white/blue shirt just for the occasion. 😊🥳

Hi John

Add me to the group. George from NY. Looking forward to this cruise and hopefully meeting a few folks on this board. For those getting a hotel in September, keep in mind we have UNGA-United Nations General Asembly. It runs for 2 weeks but lasts 3 since some delegations from different nations stay longer in NY. Hotels are usually booked solid in September. My commute is short to the port, about 20 mins by cab or 40 mins by subway. BTW, traveling solo like I did on Magic 2x last year.
