We are getting ready to drive on Dec 15/16th from Toronto. I watched your other video too (rainy and dark day). This drive looks like in perfect weather. But Dec will be an entirely different ball game...I guess. But very informative. I need to get out of my hotel (Parispenny) and get there by 9.00 am. But if we go that early.....is there any option to sit down and wait until embarkation?
Sorry for the delay…alas, you have probably already gone. But yes, once you check in, there is seating behind the checkin counters while you wait for your boarding group to be called.
Again on the same cruise ship? Nice, Last time I was on your cruise in april, was it better for the boarding terminal or it still was Chaos? And how was the ocean?
Yep, but we did Yacht Club this time. Smooth sailing the whole time with just a touch of rain here and there. Boarding for Yacht Club was very easy, but the rest of the terminal looked packed.
Don’t recall exact number, but I believe it was close to sold out. It was busy, but we were in Yacht Club. So, we were able to escape the crowds when it got hectic. Even so, it wasn’t really ridiculous. Enjoy your cruise! It’ll be a blast either way. Love this ship and crew.
We were on this sailing. We had an aurea whirlpool suite. Had a great time. Can't wait to see if you like yacht club more then aurea. Cigar lounge was my favorite spot
We stayed at the Hampton Inn at: 1120 South Ave Staten Island, NY 10314 There is also a Hilton Garden Inn in the same complex. That’s where we had dinner (Lorenzo’s, located in the Hilton). Quick, easy drive over the narrows and on into the port.
Where did y'all drive from? I heard you say Ohio to NYC. I thought you meant Ohio, NY UNTIL I heard you say "Were 2 hrs in." And THEN u said we have 5-6 hrs MORE to go!!! That's a lot of driving. Why didn't y'all fly?
We’re on the east side of Ohio. Yeah, it’s a bit of a hike. But I honestly loathe flying anymore. Did a lot of it for work over the years. It’s actually a fairly pleasant drive. Pennsylvania and New Jersey are really beautiful. Well, western New Jersey anyway. And, we can take as much luggage as we like!
