Carnival Venezia - Oct 4, 2024 - 10 Day NYC - Exotic Eastern Caribbean - NYC

[ohiowilly]

Just getting this roll-call started. We're taking this cruise with a group of cruise friends, as the 2nd leg of a B2B out of NYC/Manhattan.

This will be the first cruise departing from NYC for my wife and I, who have taken 15 previous cruises, all Caribbean, departing from various Florida ports.

Looking forward to hearing from, and getting to know others who are on this sailing, particularly those who have sailed from NYC in the past.

 

Anyone else doing the same B2B?

 

Thanks

Booked this sailing via a casino offer about a month ago.  Our second sailing on Venezia.  Still quite a ways off but never too early to start to daydream about having my toes in the sand and a drink in my hand.

We are a group of 9 going on the cruise. We are from Wisconsin, Arizona, and Minnesota. We plan on spending 3 days before the trip in New York City.

Thanks for starting the roll call. Yep, never too early to start daydreaming about relaxing especially on dreary stressful days.

 

I haven't been on this ship but have sailed on Carnival and many other different cruise lines. My brother and I, sans our spouses and children, will be traveling with our 90 y.o. father. Great having something for him to look forward to. Our last cruise with the 3 of us was a blast.

 

We are New Yorkers and love the convenience. Let's see when and if the congestion price-fixing will be passed and in effect by then. Hopefully not. lol

 

 

Regards,

Hello, solo traveler here.  Celebrating 50th birthday and leaving the wife and kids home. First cruise since the world changed. I had a few scheduled that never sailed.  Looking forward to going back on a ship!

Also, I live pretty close to the terminal and have sailed many times from Manhattan.  I can answer a lot of questions about the basics.

I don't know if this website is just dead these days or what? First off, you are definitely welcome to park in my driveway, but I'm taking the train like I always do. A 25-minute ride and a quick yellow cab. Word of caution for out of towners, NO livery cars, or rideshares. They are 100 percent predatory to visitors and will make up stories to grossly overcharge. I'm really surprised that there is no activity here in 2 months. I made the final payment and accepted a cheap upgrade from a Cove balcony to deck 12. I Purchased Cheers, top internet package, steakhouse first night to get free bottle of wine to have in addition to the one that you are allowed to carry on, and most importantly: it has historical been a race to the excursions desk on day one to get the behind the fun tour. Often sold out immediately, and to my surprise, it was presold, and I got it. As of a couple of days ago, there were still 2 or 3 spots left. I can't recommend this experience enough. Time can't go by fast enough, but October will be here before we know it!
