We cruised out of Bayonne in November and it was already dark when we left. I believe the captain said he had to get permission from the harbor master to go closer to the Statue of Liberty. It was breathtaking!

I’m very excited to follow along this cruise! I can’t imagine going away that long but am looking forward to reading about everyone’s adventures!

We cruised as diamond for the first time last month. 9 nights. We got 4 water bottles in the room first day (maybe quantity depends on length of cruise?) and after a few days a plate with 3 miniature cupcakes. We’ve gotten chocolate covered strawberries and a plate of cookies on a cruise before we turned diamond (pre Covid). There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

We just got off Jewel and didn’t even meet our steward till day 3. We just weren’t around a lot so he would just clean sometime in the morning. We are like loman in that we keep things neat and I fixed the bedding in the morning. We only asked for wine glasses which he brought. He did leave us extra towels. He said if everyone was like us he’d be out of a job 😂. Everyone’s needs are different. You need to figure out what works for you!

Yes, just off Jewel and we don’t drink a lot so got drinks for friends with our vouchers, no problem.

We are doing a repositioning cruise on Jewel which arrives in SJU November 18. I believe she’ll be sailing out of there after that.

Hi all! Does anyone know what this stands for? I’m pricing out a cruise and last week got a price of 2781.90. Today I get an extra 100.00 off and it says “Kicker NRD -100.00”. Just wondering, thanks!

Thank you so much! These responses are so helpful. Yes, Jewel leaves on a Thursday. I appreciate the local input and will now book our car.

Thank you!

My husband and I are taking a repositioning cruise in November out of Cape Liberty. The cruise ends in SJU and we’ll be flying back to Hartford. We would like to rent a car to drive to NJ. Avis has a location at 180 E 22nd St in Bayonne, not far from the port. Has anyone dropped a car off there and how did you get to the port? The # for the local office there is impossible to reach and corporate Avis says there is no shuttle. Any help is much appreciated!

We will be sailing for the first time as diamonds. Do we still get a couple of days of free wifi each? We used to get the package because my husband needed to keep in touch with his office but he will be retired so don’t need to but would like a few days to keep in touch with kids and grandkids. Thanks!
