AF-1

What a nice present for you.  Grand Suites are very nice; and so are the suite benefits

All I can say is wow.  You've provided a wonderful review, with great colorful pictures.  Thank you.

you should be able to watch muster drill video on your tv

Great to see Princess is on top of this

The Canadian government announced today that, as of October 1, passengers on cruise ships operating in Canada will no longer need to take pre-boarding Covid tests, to be vaccinated, or use ArriveCan.

Great news.  I have a 8 Oct trip

How much did they want for the Sky Suite?  I got a bid invite for a Grand Suite, 15 day Hawaii for $1900 pp, PH was $475

 

PS It would take a hell of a deal to get us out of Vista

sky suite was $2585 per person.  Not worth it

I've received two emails to upgrade.  I am in vista suite and have been offered penthouse suite and sky suite on Enchanted Princess.

Just disembarked from her a few hours ago, having checked in 17 Sept for the hurricane trip. From the time we walked into the terminal until we walked onto the ship, there was precisely zero interest in what our arrival group was, or any of our documents except for our passports. Our Arrival Group was the first one, but it made no difference, they didn't care. YMMV of course.

Thank you for your feedback.  Sorry your trip had bad weather and missed ports

If you are cruising out of Brooklyn,  did you get an arrivals group number?  I am sailing on Enchanted Princess 8 Oct and I have an arrival time of 11am that Princess assigned.

My travel agent told me the insurance companies have been swamped with claims; some covid related; and he said expect a three to six month wait for reimbursement. Glad you were paid.

Thanks!!  Did you buy your ferry tix ahead of time? Are there various ferries there or is it clear which one to get on? 
Is the app NYC Ferry by Hornblower?

on the iphone it's called NYC Ferry

If you walk up Fulton Street (which is a couple of blocks down from the Ferry terminal), you go right to the Occulus which is adjacent to the Museum and the two Memorial pools.  The entire walk is 20-30  minutes or so depending on how fast you walk and how much you want to look around.

 

Buy your 9/11 Museum tickets on line ahead of time. DO NOT buy when you get there.  The line is horrendous.  There are a lot (15-20) food carts of all different types lined up outside the Occulus, so you can get some food if you wish.  Inside the Occulus is standard upscale shopping, including an Apple store. The day I was there was when the new iPhone 14 was released so there were lots of youngin's lined up to get a new phone.

Thank you; two more questions.   How long was ferry ride from ship to wall street pier?

Did you stop at Johns pizza on Fulton St?

how long did it take you to walk from Wall street pier to 911 memorial?

caribill,  this is good news;  hope it sticks.

This is great news.  Thanks for posting

The ferry dock is about 100 yards from the entrance to the cruise terminal so its convenient, but you do still have to navigate the sidewalk which seemed pretty congested with people getting in/out of Ubers and taxis.  There is also no supporting infrastructure (shops etc.) anywhere near the ferry dock or the cruise port, so if you've forgotten something, you're SOL.  Good luck!

Thank you very much.  Cheers

wow that sounds bad for getting in and out of Brooklyn terminal.  We arrive a few days early and will taking the ferry to cruise terminal.  I think we will book private car for departure to LGA

That works.  Given you are flying only one day in advance, you can also also take a test the day before your flight. If you test positive, at least you will know before you get on the plane.  Whichever works best for you.

Actually we arrive on Thursday for a Saturday departure.  We leave early morning Thursday; so we will get  tests when we get to our hotel.  I have my laptop to login

Thanks for your review. It was nice to hear positive comments about the ship and Princess

We have a Canada New England cruise next month out of NYC. Since we are flying there the day before departure. What is the best way to handle pre-cruise covid testing?

You can take a telemed test online in your hotel room.  The above link is who I am using for my cruise on 8 Oct

I've used crew chat also.  when you txt them you are getting one of the guest services rep at the front desk.  They are quick and efficient to handle any problems, and saves you a trip down there

If you book this location directly thru Hyatt it will cost you $50 to $80 more.

I use points so not a price issue

I believe if you book directly with Hyatt as a member the breakfast is included. If you book with ValueTrips it's not.

you could be right;  I always book through Hyatt
