We are booked in the Omni Berkshire on E 52nd Street the night of the 4th and just found out today there is a huge bike tour the day of the 5th which will shut down many streets from 7:30 am until well past the time the ship will sail. If the streets are shut down to cars, will we be able to walk to the port and cross those streets? I really don't want to rebook to a different hotel if we don't have to since the Omni offers a very nice military discount. This is our first time leaving from this port and only our third time in the city overall so I really don't know how to plan for this.
I am confused on the specialty dinner credit included in the free at sea. We are on a 7 day cruise in a club balcony cabin. Do we get two specialty meals, one per each of us, or do we each get two specialty meals? It is too soon to make reservations but I want to be ready! Thank you in advance!
