Overnight my captains club points are totally screwed.

2 points for 18 night repositioning cruise???

Hope the celebrity lurkers are reading posts today.

Thanks..I think I have got it!

Jerseylily since you’re from Jersey I’m not sure why you’re asking about Jersey. One would think you’re familiar with Newark.

Hi...we are from the original Jersey ..the cows and fabric version...

I can tell you how our taxis work but not many Americans visit us only the odd one.

In fact I was v lucky to be the guide at a local historical attraction here last Sunday for the lovely American and Canadians from the Pacific Princess.

Please email me at cc138east@gmail.com. Newark is a highly urban industrialized area. I would like to feel comfortable that you have picked an appropriate Newark hotel, but understand why you don't want to post online. More details about your arrival plans (I.e. Flight to Newark airport) train, bus etc.) would be helpful. Will you have phone service to use Uber?

 

Newark is not a city where you flag cabs on the street unless you're at the train station taxi area. I want to feel comfortable that you are making appropriate choices for the Newark/Cape Liberty area and I can't do that without more details. I'm a frequent solo cruiser from Cape Liberty and I've made a point of trying hotels in Newark, NYC, and Jersey City as well as using public transit or park/sleep/cruise hotels.

Hi we are walking distance of Penn Newark station. Price for public transport is roughly 30$ all in on a Sunday but taxi pricing seemed to be the same to port but still wondering if taxis use meter used from Newark Penn or again we negotiate? Thanks again

Staying in Newark city toting things up it looks roughly the same taxi v public transport. Taxi rank by hotel. Am I right in thinking that on street we are talking asking to use meter and not negotiating for a trip to cape liberty? Prefer not to give hotel details online.

You need to call a cab from Bayonne 34th St. it should be $10-12. They will quote you a flat rate when you call. Uber is also an option.

 

Bayonne City Yellow Cab

201-339-5000

 

Archie’s Cab & Van Service

201-858-8800

 

Campbell Taxi

201-339-8300

And if by chance there is one there flat rate discussion or meter on for NJ taxis?

Oh..forgot to ask! If I get IN a taxi say at 34th Street Bayonne to go TO the port do I ask the driver to put the meter on and pay the amount at end of trip OR do I negotiate before we set off and pay that? I'm guessing no more than 12dollar?

Thanks all ...usual high vigilant behaviour and we should be good to go. Last cruise ended in rio so fairly practiced at that. Coming from a tiny island we have to put our city heads on.

Great..I'm looking forward to the challenge!

Nearest station looks like Court Square are there lifts? Or as you say elevator?

So far I am reading..get a ride with luggage roughly 5 dollars per person to hudson bergen light rail station at 34th street Bayonne

Buy a single ticket for each of us and change to the path at exchange place (as Hoboken closed) to world trade (do we have to buy a path ticket? As they say they will honour Hudson bergen tix?)

At world trade they will give me free subway tix with we can then use to get to court Square?

Wow...fun day! But I guess we will learn a bunch about the transit system!

Hi we have all day to get to our hotel in LIC for a week of post cruise holiday. Are there rides to the nearest public transport station when we dock from summit on a Sunday?

I have been on Costa a few times and MSC once... Costa better by far in my opinion.

Can I buy on board credit on Costa before I board. If yes where would I find it?

Regards aft balconies I have a real problem with the fumes from the exhaust so I personally avoid anything towards the back of a ship. Especially where stack scrubbers have not been fitted. But it is a matter of personal choice.

You find the magic bag in entertainment and services, sub section welcome aboard on my latest booking

yes I read that she had a short dry dock spruce up after her Aisa deployment. Do post your review after you come back. I have done an Asia cruise before and know how different it can be for crew so I would be interested to know what they feel about being back in the med.

Hi all. Has anyone been on the Victoria since her return to Europe any reviews very welcome.

Yes, Royal Caribbean , MSC, and this year Celebrity offered and purchased. Its a no for Princess cruising.

I rephrase ..Have they ever had a sale, open to UK passengers that included the drinks package

I was thinking of booking a princess cruise 29 days but I am looking for a sale including drinks package. Have they ever sold sip and sail to UK passengers? If not then I probably won't bother.

Does anyway know the who the current MSC Musica captain is? The website at MSC is confusing but I know it states it may not be fully up to date

'guess it's a matter of pot luck and maybe which ship you're on as to whether you get a good audience'

Good point Skier, but I think audience size is determined by the effort put into promotion and your evidence may rather highlight the inconsistency in delivery if this new product across the fleet.
