Just read an article that ships will start sailing at half capacity from Bayonne in August. It said ships with 6,000 capacity will sail at 3,000. How will they decide who will be sailing. I booked a sailing last year so is it who booked further out in that order?
BAYONNE, NJ - After extensive discussions with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, local and state health officials, and the Office of Emergency Management, Royal Caribbean is planning to sail its first cruise ship out of Port Liberty in Bayonne in August, TAPinto Bayonne has learned.
“Right now, we’re hearing the first ship will leave in August at half capacity,” said Mayor Jimmy Davis. “This means that if the ship can accommodate 6,000, then 3,000 will be allowed on board.”
Royal Caribbean suspended operations from Bayonne last March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here was a post with it.

Do the cruise lines have such an agreement with Cape Liberty?
I don't know if it is official yet but there was an article somewhere ( I have read so many I can't remember) that says they are ready. I will try to find the article.

Test cruises do not have to go out of their home port. The cruise line just needs to have a port agreement with the home port.

No, never give up! It's a matter of principle.

That depends on how soon you will need it after boarding. Your checked luggage may not show up for hours.
So, security won't give me a hard time about them?

Ditto ... download/re-installed "newest" Cruise Norwegian App just fine on iOS 12.x on iPhone; and, on Androids, stock Oreo & Pie roms on Moto and Xiaomi dual-sims global.
Having issues, uninstall the old ones, reboot (clear dalvik & cache in Androids) and clean install newest one from Play Store.
Yes, especially if you want and plan to use the calling function, an optional feature (priced @ $9.95 as one-time fee, good for duration of the cruise on the ship) ... you log into the App with your MyNCL dot com's userid and password. "Cookies" are placed/stored on each device based on its unique MAC address ... and, an 8 digits mobile number is assigned by the onboard server system. Be sure to turn-on Airplane Mode & re-enable WiFi to connect to the ship's inTRAnet.
Thank you!

Okay, I bought a q
15 foot 16 guage/13amp extension cord and an adapter, should I pack it in my carry on or checked luggage?
-
To use the calling part of the app, do my wife and I have to have two separate NCL accounts or can we both log into the account I created when I booked the cruise?
-
I will be sailing with NCL and have been told by their Special Needs department and they said it is okay.

I'm glad to hear they allow it because I think I will need it to tape down an extension cord.

I’m on the Gem now on the two week Carribean!
Solo socials every evening at 5:30. Dinner at 6:00 followed by the show.
Mostly 55-80 age group. A couple younger onescame once. They did really stick together for tours etc. I pre booked all my own!
Many solos did not get off the ship at all! Not me!
I only attended a couple socials and dinners. I’m very used to solo cruising and do my own thing! I like to see sunset better than dinners!
I will be on the May 3rd Bermuda than I’m back to Holland America, also great for solos!
Bring inhalers ifyou need them! Many people have a sudden severe pneumonia! They are walking around with IV’s in! Probably viral but severe sudden respiratory distress.
It has been a good cruise but just too crowded for me! I’m at the spa everyday and really enjoy it!
Many not aware that “free” amenities come with a cost! I always do sail away rate so no problem for me!
Internet slow and expensive but functional.
I’m sure that you will have a great cruise!

There is a 110 volt outlet by the desk and another 220 volt outlet on the opposite long wall by the refrigerator. Some of the cabins (not all) had been updated (from our 2018 Gem cruise, also on a cabin crawl & saw various categories) with bedside USB charging port but they aren't of any use.
Yes, you can bring a (long, 12' or 15') long extension cord, just not one with a power strip with surge protection due to maritime fire safety hazards. Route that along the wall under the bed to minimize tripping hazards.
I am in an aft facing cabin where the door is on the side, the beds are at a 45 degree angle from the door, bathroom, closets...

How do I check?
-
If I want to use the international plug, do I need a converter or adapter?
-
I guess I should be more clear, sorry. Will they let you use an adapter that you can plug into one outlet that makes three outlets.

So ther is ONE outlet in the cabin area? Wow. I have seen so many inside cabin floor plans so I don't have a clue how ours will be set up. Do you know if you can use adapters that turn one outlet into two or three? (no surge protection). Are they grounded plugs (three pin)?
-
Just curios, when do we do the slot pull? Right after, during? Do we need the correct amount? Just curious. Wrong thread, sorry!
-
Are there outlets by the bed in an inside cabin? My wife uses a CPAP and I use a mobility scooter, just wodering about outlets. I have been told by Customer Service that there are but they can't always be trusted. I was also told I can bring extension cords on board. True? I just don't want to make a fall hazard. Any info will be appreciated!

Thank you so much for the info! I am planning on taking the free ferry to St. Georges and the public ferry to Hamilton.

The summer schedule is out for the public ferries.
