…need to know approximately how long it might take to get through Immigration for Brits.
All depends on whether or not you’re an Arsenal supporter. Yuki da!

Just as an aside, have heard of cabin smoke alarms being triggered by excessive steam from the shower when the shower door was left open. Really surprised the shower occupant when fire crew entered the cabin. Not sure if any alarm sensitivity adjustment was required…

If your destination is Penn Station, then the Ferry is a good option for sure!

To get to LaGuardia, which is better: from Red Hook or from the ferry drop off at Wall St? We've never done either, and we aren't familiar with the geography of it. Thanks.
Check out the ferry route map at ferry.nyc. You want to be on the east side of the East River. You’ll notice that North Williamsburg ferry stop is closer to LGA; however, it means taking the ferry to Wall Street and transferring to the East River route ferry. A bit of a pain but depending on how you feel about the traffic around Red Hook it may give you an alternative. Good luck…

Wanna escape Red Hook’s traffic congestion? Hop the ferry to Wall Street and cab/Uber from there. Just a thought…

Colin & Ruth - Hola from Talkeetna....
Hope you are enjoying life & all your adventures!Although it was HOT - we still enjoyed the unplanned extended stay in Cartagena.
Even though we had No Power, No A/C & No Cooking Power for part of the time - the crew were cheerful & went out of their way to make the days better for All!
To be honest - it was way too hot outside to eat hot food anyway - The Popsicle's & Italian Ice were very much welcome...Most all made the Best of the situation & our extra days in port!
Cheers - Von
👍 👍 Good to hear from you. Hope all is well in the Last Frontier.
‘Hot’ is an understatement but the crew, if not senior management, were top notch.Yup! The unplanned days in Cartegena were enjoyable in a strange way. Was happy when the a/c came back on. Stay well.
Cheers…-

Hmmm! Not as bad as having a large TV on the wall in the Butcher’s Cut broadcasting MSC advertising all the time. Very tacky…

NCL was not doing a good job with the communication yesterday, so no infos about the real problem yesterday and no word why they dont sail in the evening.
“On April 24, 2023, while at Port Cartagena (Colombia), the Norwegian Sun experienced electrical difficulties with the main electrical panel that resulted in a total power loss including failure of the air-conditioning system. The technicians' attempts to resolve the problems were unsuccessful and the ship remained docked overnight (from the morning of Apr 24 to late Apr 25). As a result, the Miami to Seattle Panama Canal transit was postponed (from Apr 25th to Apr 27th) and the scheduled stops in Costa Rica and Nicaragua were cancelled”.
Have posted this to say that, regarding the above report, Norwegian Sun senior management did not do a good job of communicating the problem/resolution with the passengers; however, the staff were excellent in taking care of the guests on board. With no power, there were no elevators. With no power, there was no hot food. Sandwiches were made and carried up stairs from the galleys on lower decks to Deck 11. It was hot. News was scarce but the staff were terrific and passengers enjoyed the party atmosphere. Thankfully the ship was docked at the time. As they say at sea “Ship happens”. Folks made the most of a poor situation.

The cruise ~12 day British Isles, the cabin booking today E407 on Regal Princess.
I think I will do Premier.
Used Smith's for the LHR transfer.- Did the U.K. cruise on Regal Princess in 2023.
- Have a look at the Royal Leonardo hotel.
- Smiths has closed. Look at aquacars.co.uk. Heathrow-Southampton was £140.👍 👍 to them all. Cheers…

Parrots have a long history of accompanying crew on ships, at least in the media. Did Robert Louis Stevenson start this? I'm too lazy to look it up.
Aarr! Jim lad!

Thank you for the great photos of the food. We found it quite comfortable to sit at the bar. You get a bird's eye view of the chef as he prepares your meal, then he simply hands it across the bar to you. Nothing could be simpler.
As long as the fish is defrosted properly. If not, the sushi will be ‘watery’.
Tanoshimu…enjoy…

You can request exactly what you want how you want it cooked and you will get it.
👍 👍 Certainly that way on recent cruises on the Norwegian Jade. Go hungry. Enjoy…

Have a look at aquacars.co.uk. Last September, Heathrow to Southampton £140.
Very good service provided. Service from London may have a different price. Ask them. Cheers…

Will be doing the POA cruise through the Hawaiian Island January, 2025. I only see 10 excursions listed. Do they add more closer to sail time or is this all there is??
Check out tours at Roberts Hawai’i. May surprise you. Cheers…

Just as a matter of interest, what is the Captain’s name and also the name of the General Manager? Just interested…

If possible, think about getting to the terminal in Red Hook by ferry. Driving and parking, near by, can be challenging. Enjoy!

Alternately, there's a South Brooklyn ferry from Wall Street Pier 11 to the Red Hook ferry station, just 50 feet from the circus at the Terminal. Only runs hourly on Sunday.
Definitely use the ferry if at all possible. Cheers…

last year we sailed out of Southampton and could not get a drink till around ten at night. We are getting ready to sail out of Southampton in May and wondering if it is still a no alcohol port
If you are staying in Southampton pre cruise, try the Duke of Wellington on Bugle Street. Should carry you over until the bars are open on board. Cheers…
