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.

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!!

Yes, there are. And they are actully outside of the bathroom, so someone can dry their hair while another gets ready.

Are they thick, fluffy, over used...?

Are they big or cheapy Hotel ones??

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.

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.

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. ;)

we`ve driven from pa. to nyc and there are traffic jams that should be allowed some time for, just in case. not sure of your route but be careful

[ctcruisers87]

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???

[johnql]

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.

thanks for the quick replies!

Have a great cruise. :)

Hi CT, we are also leaving out of NY on Sunday (Spirit), our ship sails at 4pm. We live in Litchfield county CT and our limo is picking us up at 10am, don't know if that helps, have a great time I know we will, I'll wave to ya from our ship, Cathi

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.

We live in Fairfield County and are also getting picked up by a limo around the same time. Its really helpful when people are in the same boat(hahaha) and you can hear their plan and compare it to what wours is.

Enjoy your cruise!
