We were just looking into the same thing for a 7 day on Norwegian Dawn on June 8. The garage website actually lists the total cost by cruise; ours would be $147. We're considering UBER, the estimate on the UBER website is $53-$71 for a 1-way UBER -X from our house (on the RI border) to the port. On the high end it would be same as the garage but door to door.

My husband and I just came back from Arno's Feb 2017 cruise. It is our second trip with the group, and we're booked on our third for March of 2018. We have not done any other gay cruises but at this point it would be hard to find a reason to do so. Great experience, wonderful group. I suggest contacting Arno directly if you have questions...he is always responsive and whenever I contact him I feel like I'm his only customer. Dude is good at what he does.

Regarding the whole "clique" thing: Scott and I made friends on our first Arno cruise last June, and we've kept in touch on FB. Meeting up in February, we were eager to catch up and hang out...so when you see these 'cliques" don't assume they are being exclusive...just glad to see folks again. Say hi and see what happens before you get all pissy on a public forum.

I can't say anything about the excursions as we typically like to hang on the ship when everyone gets off..but as another poster has said take a look at the Arno's Cruises FB page and you'll get plenty of details. Have to say, though, that as much as we enjoy staying on the ship when it empties out, we're rethinking that because everyone we talked to who went on the excursions Arno set up made us regret not going! The private events were awesome.

Loved the goody bag with the towel, lanyard, nametag, flavored popcorn and the surprise cupcakes and chocolates in the room!

Bottom line, I recommend Arno's cruises without reservation. With all due respect, if you don't have a good time the problem is probably you.
