wibeachbum Posted November 14, 2006 #27 Share Posted November 14, 2006 The beach towels you can borrow from the ship are fine. It's very convenient to pick them up as you leave the ship and then turn them in when you get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcruisers87 Posted November 14, 2006 Author #28 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yet another question, On Sunday we are boarding the Dawn in NYC. We are leaving from CT and need to have a time set to know when to leave and probably when we would arrive. The Dawn is coming into NY with passangers and is docking at 10 a.m. It says on the site that the passengers get off of the ship approx. two hours after docking (12 p.m.) How correct is this? And after everyone gets off of the ship, how long does it take them to clean adn "repair" it before the next set of passengers can get on. We are trying to find out when the limo should pick us up nad need to let them know. PLEASE RESPOND!!! Thanks Again!! ctcruisers87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari939 Posted November 14, 2006 #29 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yes, there are. And they are actully outside of the bathroom, so someone can dry their hair while another gets ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcruisers87 Posted November 14, 2006 Author #30 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Are they thick, fluffy, over used...? Are they big or cheapy Hotel ones?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted November 14, 2006 #31 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Assuming everything is on schedule, the noon target is accurate. Personally, I would aim to arrive at the pier between 11:30 and noon. Also, keep in mind that you may not be allowed to actually access your cabin until 2 pm. So, keep your carry-on light and spend time having lunch, exploring the ship, checking out menus, making dinner reservations, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreguy Posted November 14, 2006 #32 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Are they thick, fluffy, over used...?Are they big or cheapy Hotel ones?? Better bring your own and fill the suitcase - They may not meet your standards. They are fine and yes they have been washed 100s of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelfan94 Posted November 14, 2006 #33 Share Posted November 14, 2006 The cruise ship towels are fine. Especially for what you'll be using them for. I don't have time on vacation to keep my personal towels clean so I let the ship take care of it and use theirs. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctcruisers87 Posted November 14, 2006 Author #35 Share Posted November 14, 2006 just wondering, about how long does it take for everyone to get off the ship? also as people are getting off are people getting on as well??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted November 14, 2006 #36 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It probably takes a couple hours for all the passengers to disembark. And no, the two sets of passengers do not overlap. You cannot embark until all passengers have disembarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandan4503 Posted November 14, 2006 #40 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Well we were first to board on 11/5 & went on at 12:30. At that time, the lines were horrible waiting. I would definitely get there by 11 - 11:30. We did & stood in line to check in and didn't wait too long. Then sat down & after we had previously asked 3 people if we were in the right place (had a penthouse and read on here we would have priority) we found the private waiting area on our own. Then we headed to the Venetian, sat down and had a nice quiet lunch by the window. After that we explored for a bit and our room was ready before 2. I am amazed how quick the changeover is. I was also impressed how easy parking is! We live in South Jersey and were in the city and parked within 2 hours. Leaving was just as easy and we were off the ship by 10:30 I think (we were first off after express....do that if you can carry your luggage). I heard a few people complaining about the lines boarding but I think if you get there late you will get that. Just get there early and sit back and relax. They have coffee & some food out.
