    nd of course another toilet break.

    This is the number one reason why I really don't like shore excursions booked through the cruise lines.  I mean I get it, a bathroom break, but when you have to stop and wait for 50 people to use the restroom, it is so annoying!  So as much as I can, I book independent tours.  Sometimes you have to find a way to spend that shipboard credit though!

    I will be parking my Tesla at Cape Liberty for 8 days for Anthem of the seas! Woohoo! Anyways, does anybody know if the port has charging stations to leave my car plugged in while we are on the cruise? 

    We have done that a few times with our Tesla.  I have never seen any charging stations at the port.  There are some very near, however, and it would be easy to charge just before getting there or on the way out.

    Thanks, Choozin! Actually there are a few bus tours shown online plus Harbour tours and a combination of the 2. Adventure Sightseeing operating out of the market. I hesitate to book anything in advance because of  risk of paying a non-refundable fee. I like the idea of the free Dash bus as we have 2 days in town. Do you know the nearest stop to the cruise terminal? I could not spot it on Street View. 

    I would like to know how close a Dash bus stop is to the cruise terminal as well.

    We are cruising in April from Boston and I can't seem to find any current info on pre-booking our parking. The website for cruise parking bounces back and forth between a few sites none of which seem to have the same info. I was able to find a back door way to get to the site where it seems I can pre-book my parking but I didn't do it through the cruise site so I'm wary to trust that. I contacted the company that the cruise port says has the parking but they have not responded! 

     

    After recently pre-booking parking and then being charged again on exit, a multi hundred dollar mistake that took several months to clear up, I'm wary of just charging ahead without clear information. I really don't want to go through that again.

     

    Parking in Boston used to be so easy..... Does anyone have any advice/info on the new system? 

    You can park right at the port and there is no need to prepay.  We just did it.  There was a lot of talk about prepaying and unless you want to park elsewhere and shuttle to the cruise terminal, then go ahead.  The parking garage is literally maybe a half a block from the entrance to the terminal.  

    I agree the info is sketchy at best, but I called the parking garage and they said you can park there and no prepay.  I will say that they have a standard price that was 200.00 and we were on a 12 day cruise and that was what we paid.

  5. Looks like Noise Boys disappeared from ourJanuary 29th sailing as well!

     

    LOVED the Norway!  Our first cruise was on her. Where it all began for our cruising career.  I remember that you could hardly get into the bathroom and shut the door behind you, it was so tight!  The sink was in the very small inside stateroom.  We got to sail on her two more times.  Better cabins.  The third time we were in a suite with our three kids.  The suite had a name and was directly across from the dining room. We thought we were something.  The bathroom actually had a bidet as well.  But even then very small portholes is all I remember.

    You might try Cup-Cakolicious, their bakery is less than a mile from port, also chances are good that the bakery dept. of any grocery store will have. It's sooo yummy and I haven't had it in a long time (since my last trip to Jamaica years ago). I'm going to be in Ocho on the 26th and now you've got me on a mad search for it too!

    You will be there before me, so if you find it, please post!

    Hi Y'all!

     

    Are there any bakeries near the Ochos Rios port? I NEED to try this cake, but like authentically and fresh. 

     

    Thanks!

    You must have read the same book I read!  I need to follow in case someone knows where to get it!

    The garage actually doesn't allow cruise parking anymore. The official parking lot is about 5 minutes away and has a shuttle bus.

    Really?  Was that recently changed?  We parked there in October, easy-peasy.  It was a flat rate fee.  I know ours was $200 for a twelve day cruise.  There was plenty of parking and so easy to walk to the terminal from there.

    Love this itinerary!  I think you will be more than happy with it.  As far as ships/cruise lines go-on this type of itinerary, you are busy and the actual ship experience does not mean as much.  I think you did the right thing to go ahead and book.  You can always change your mind.  If NCL is more reasonably priced since you will have a busy itinerary, go with it.  Great itinerary!

    has anyone been able to get Placlovid or any other treatment prescribed by their doctors in case they get sick.  I read that the cruise ships don't have it and worried about getting kicked off in the Caribbean and islands don't have it either.  

     

    Has anyone tried having an air purifier in your room?

     

    Any experiences here would be appreciated.  Seriously considering losing $1500 just not to go now or 14 day cruise.  Seems too risky.  

    I don't believe any of the ships are kicking you off right now.  You need to quarantine in your room and that is pretty much it.
