nycruiser1975 Posted July 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Now that I am official not a first time cruiser, I am so focused on planning our next cruise. But I don't want to fly, and prefer to leave out of NYC. We loved the Miracle and would not mind sailing on her again, but next year she is doing the same sail. Any suggestions on what we can do. We are a young couple in our mid 30's still who still love to have fun, party, dance and all that stuff (we are New Yorkers), and our son who is 8 may come with us. Either way can you help???!!!:confused::confused::confused::( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted July 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The Triumph and the Glory both sail from NYC in 2010 but they pretty much looks confined to the New England/Canada sailings... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted July 17, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I LOVE going out of NYC (quick train ride from NJ). Ships that sail from NY besides Miracle (LOVED it in May) are Carnival Triumph to Canada--various itineraries and # of nights (doing that in 3 weeks), PRINCESS out of Brooklyn. Norwegian sails out of NY too with various itins during various months. Out of Bayonne are Royal Caribbean, and next year Celebrity's back. We do still fly to FL to catch a Caribbean cruise in the fall though. Seems that sailing from NY is more $$ but balances out once you pay to fly anywhere else. ENJOY!

nycruiser1975 Posted July 17, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Love the Miracle. How is RCCl and all the others would we have fun. How are the activities. The miracle has spoiled me and what I want in a cruise. I am still on a cruise high, and I think I am getting on my husbands nerve because all I talk about is the cruise and wanting a baby. He said I cannot have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way can you help???!!!:confused::confused::confused::( The Miracle is a beautiful ship. Book the same cruise next year. This time do different excursions in the ports of call. It's the same, but, it's not. We have been to Cozumel 5 times and have yet to do the same excursion. Slowly but surely we are getting to see the entire island. Another option would be to drive to Baltimore and sail on the Pride. Either way you can't go wrong. Good luck and have a great cruise whichever way you choose.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Luv2Cruz* Posted July 17, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We've done most of our cruising from NY and gone to Bermuda several times on different cruise lines and obviously we luv the place.:) Next year we going with a CC Group on the Miracle in May and can't wait to go!:D If you're looking for a return trip; checkout the info in my signature below.:cool:And remember, being a cruise addict is a good thing!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted July 17, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2009 and I think I am getting on my husband's nerve because all I talk about is the cruise and wanting a baby. He said I cannot have both. Husband is right. Go for the cruise -much less expensive, especially in the long run and not even half as much work as a baby! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycruiser1975 Posted July 21, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted July 21, 2009 That is a thought. Bus to Baltimore. I wonder how far the port is and how far do I have to bus in. Does anyone know about Princess crusie line or any other cruise line. We may have to bring our son with us. we like to have fun and party. Can we party on the other ships, We are still young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally enjoy both lines and as a matter of fact have enjoyed my NCL cruises possibly a bit more than my CCL ones :) RCCL also has sailings out of Bayonne ...don't limit yourself.

nycruiser1975 Posted July 21, 2009 Author #14 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I know I should not limit myself, but I am afraid to fly at this point in my life and I loved how easy it was to get to the port before and after sailing. Baltimore and Jersey would be fine. I see RCCL is a bit more expensive and their oceanview looks a bit smaller than CCL. I looked at princess but was not sure about the ages on board. CCL had a variety. Bring on the advice. I loved your advice before which help me choose our first cruise and it was a wise choice. I am counting you family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOANN226 Posted July 23, 2009 #17 Share Posted July 23, 2009 All my past cruises were out of NY, but I didnt want to do the Eastern Carribean again (did it 3 times), so this was my first time I went out of Tampa, it was great we (10 of us) did the western carribean and it was fantastic, we were on the Legend july 12-19.

Does anyone know about Princess crusie line or any other cruise line. We may have to bring our son with us. we like to have fun and party. Can we party on the other ships, We are still young The port is right near the heart of town - the heart of Baltimore is the inner harbor. If you go there, especially if you have kids, you need to make time to see the aquarium - it is fabulous. hey have a nice children's museum too. Also, if anyone is a baseball fan, the Orioles staduim is right there too. I think there are lots of hotels that offer park and ride, so if it was me, I would opt for that rather than the bus.

cruisecrazyk Posted July 23, 2009 #20 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I love NCL as much as Carnival. They have cruises on the Dawn to Bermuda which is great fun. I love the Dawn. Great ship.Their cruises are the same price point as Carnival. Good luck with the cruise bug. We have had it since 2002. No cure for it.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruins14 Posted July 23, 2009 #21 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Explorer of the Seas out of Bayonne is a beautiful ship, with lots of stuff for the kids, and it does several itins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
