In the same boat as above. I'm packed so I can help my wife stay under control.😉

Leaving on Sunday can't wait.

Thanks. That is what I thought but could not find the answer.

I think my wife is over thinking it. She has her backpack but also has a under seat rolling bag can these both count as carry on bags?

1. I found a whole lots of excursions on Trip Advisor for all the ports. Booked 2 new ones today. Just enter the city. If you find that one keep us posted

I also booked direct. I should have pointed that out.

I am Diamond status at Caesars properties and Prime at Ocean Casino. It is my understanding that NCL does not match tiers. Is there anyway I can leverage this at the NCL casino?

Yes. 29 5* and 2 2* on Trip Advisor.On Viator 94 reviews 4.5 with 77 5* 3 1*. I let you know how it goes.

Will be there on Oct. 14th Wanted to do the Peggy Cove tour but it was sold out so settled for the Deluxe Hop on Hop off Double Decker bus tour.

Were doing the NCL on the Breakaway  out of NY to NE and Canada. Our fingers are crossed should be good.

My wife and I are going on NCL Breakaway on Oct. 9th from NY to Halifax. Great price and 5 stops. I'll fill you in when we get back.

NCL has many options for party of 5 and sails to Alaska.

Just booked a room at the Hampton Inn Ridgefield Park. As mentioned they have a Stay, Park and Go package. Includes room, parking for the length of the cruise, shuttle to and from the terminal and breakfast for $289 plus tax..

Thank you for the info. I am glad to hear that they have the shuttle. Last time I was looking to book the Hilton Garden Inn near the Hampton Inn in Ridgefield Park, they no longer provided transportation to the pier. This makes the Hampton Inn a good option if I choose to drive in the day before. 

Coming from Cape May County NJ didn't want to chance any hang ups. It 'just a few dollars then parking in NY.

Thanks for all the feed back. Just booked a room at the Hampton Inn Ridgefield Park. As mentioned they have a Stay, Park and Go package. Includes room, parking for the length of the cruise, shuttle to and from the terminal and breakfast for $289 plus tax..

I am glad the info was posted about hotels with parking, but disappointed that the HGI no longer sets you up with transportation to the pier. We had done this pre-covid and wanted to use this service again. We ended up getting up early, driving in day of cruise, and parking on the terminal when we cruised in March. 

 

An option for the OP would be to stay at a hotel at whatever airport they fly into, and get transportation to the pier the next morning.

We typically stay in Manhattan, park our car the night before, and pick it up when we get back.

 

Parking garage: 43rd and 11th (560 West 43rd St.) - it's about $30 a night, depending on what you get from the personnel and within easy walking distance to/from the pier. We don't use the pier parking since we do drive in the night before to have dinner in the city.

 

Hotel: We've stayed at several that are very nice, and all within walking distance of the parking and pier (if you can walk 20 - 30 minutes at a normal clip) 

1. The Fifty Sonesta - 155 E 50th St., NY, NY

2. La Quinta Times Square South - 3323 W 38th St., NY, NY

 

As long as you don't mind a quick walk, anything around Times Square is a good deal. We do only take a small carry on and backpack, so it's not like we have a lot to lug around the city. 

 

If you do have a lot of luggage/mobility-impaired, you may want to stay in Jersey and catch the hotel's shuttle to the pier. Here's a few:

 

1. Hampton Inn Ridgefield Park - free shuttle and parking

2. Hilton Garden Inn Ridgefield Park - free shuttle and parking

3. Fairfield Inn & Suites North Bergen - free shuttle and parking

 

There's a bunch more in NJ that will do this too.

Heading on the Breakaway Oct. 9th. was wondering has experience parking at Manhattan Cruise Terminal. Any tips would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Mike and MIckie
