Hi Pete,

 I just booked this cruise! So happy to be cruising from NYC again. The ship looks to be quite beautiful and I think it will be a lot of fun. Hope others loin the roll call soon. I wonder if the cruise will be full or not. It's a nice itinerary and I can't wait to get on the ship!

Hi Everyone, I booked this back in January..I think lol Got a great deal, so my boyfriend and I will be going...it's his 2nd cruise, my 14th, all out of NYC! 🙂 Booked in an aft balcony room with Terrazza access, so very excited for that as well!! October can't get here soon enough!

Welcome Mira & Chelle!  Looking forward to October myself, but won't wish the summer away.

Does anyone know a good place to stay with parking and transportation to the port or even from New Jersey?

[marianneyaya]

HI!

Marianne & Dave from Connecticut will be joining you!  Based on the cabins available, it looks like the ship will be full!

I just booked with my sister and this will be the first time I cruise for leisure rather than work! So excited.!

We booked this a while ago but are just now booking excursions and restaurants. Our 28th cruise but we also do lots of land travel.  First time sailing out of NY. Really looking forward to it!!

This will be my 2nd time on the Venezia, was on her July 13th for 4 days to Bermuda with a large group. I had a wonderful time but 4 days were not enough and there were multiple group functions so I really didn't get a chance to see and do everything. I will be doing this cruise solo, and looking forward to all I missed. Can't believe I didn't even have one slice of Pizza, LOL. Hope to meet some of you there.

Can't wait! Counting down the days!!

Is anyone interested in playing Hand and Foot? I am bringing my cards and I understand there is a good place to play card games near the library.

Hi, Heide. My husband and I are to be on this cruise. Would love to meet up with you and your mom to play cards. I am in your mom's age bracket. My husband enjoys playing cards also. We don't have our room assignment yet, but when we do I will give you our room # to be able to be in touch once on board.

Can anyone recommend a shuttle from LGA to ship?

[coopieclan]

If you go to Shore Excursions and check airport transfers. There is an option to purchase transportation to and from LGA. There is a bus service that goes to the Port Authority Bus Terminal but then you still have to get to the ship port. Other than that I would check out Uber prices.

What is everyone doing about Drink packages? I think we will pay as we go but am considering purchasing some cruise cash. I drink alcohol but my Hubby does not.
