Thank you very much smeyer418. The link was very informative and I think we will go with Arecibo.

Getting very excited now as just over a week until we leave home. It is raining here today so we are planning what we would like to do and see while in New York before we move on to Boston and New England!

Many thanks again to all the very helpful comments. :):)

Thanks Carol. Have to make sure my mobile will work in USA!

As a side question how do you get your clock for cruises etc into your messages? Sorry but I really am a newbie at posting anything but very basics and I tend to read the forums etc and nothing else!

Thanks Underwatr and capnpugwash we will carry on as suggested. :)

Thank you both for your replies. If we decide to go with taking a cab are they Yellow cabs and do they just queue waiting for anyone to hire them?

Sorry if these questions seem silly but only been to America 2 times and both times we had transport arranged by our travel agent but their price s very high this time so we decided to try and organise ourselves! :)

We are going on QM2 from Southampton to New York and have been wondering if we can take a bottle of gin on board as well as a bottle of wine and champagne.

After reading the comments above should we pack in our suitcases or carry on board with us and take our chances of them being taken of us?

Sorry for basic questions but we are newbie cruisers!

Thanks

We are sailing on Queen Mary 2 from Southampton to New York in September. Please can someone help / give advice as to transfers available to hotel in Manhattan area? Also how will we know what time we will disembark?

Many thanks.
