I have not cruised in years and was just looking for a ballpark figure. I understand that there are many variables.

Does anyone tip their cabin stewards in top of the $20 per person per day service charge? How much additional do you give?

Thank you!

We walked across that earlier today. Since we are staying on 48th that would a tally be out of our way since we can cross right there.

Thank you, we did walk the area today and noticed all the large gates that were closed..I'm assuming they will be open tomorrow.

We are staying on 48th..just up the street from pier 88. Hopefully that's the the ship will be at. Otherwise I may have to walk 5 minutes farther. LOL

Thank you.

We are boarding Getaway tomorrow and staying at a hotel just up the street and plan on walking to the terminal in the morning. Is there a specific location that walk on passengers have to go to? I know the drop off area for cars is upstairs. What do walk ups do? Thanks

Thank You. We are actually staying at the Holiday Inn Express. Glad to firm that it is close.

Thanks

Thank You

The only reason I asked was because we are staying in the city the night before at a hotel on 48th and were considering walking to the pier since 48th ends right at pier 88 and we will only be 1 block up.

Does anyone know which Pier Norwegian uses in NY or does it change all the time? I know where the cruise terminal is but I'm curious about which pier they use specifically. Thanks

Thank you!

I can't remember where I read it but I could swear I read something about the ships tenders being used as shuttles to either Hamilton or St. George. Can anyone confirm this for me or did I misread something? We'll be in Bermuda on Sunday 2/18 and I'm thinking about going to Crystal caves on our own since the excursions are sold out. From what I've read the caves are closer to St George than Hamilton but the Island's ferry only runs to Hamilton during the winter months. I was thinking if I read correctly and the ship does run launches to St George I'd be able to save a little time since we are only in port from 9-4. Has anyone else gone to Crystal caves on your own? How did you get there and how long did it take. My concerns are making sure I'm back to the ship in time. Thanks

Thanks for all the input.

I was just scrolling through the dining options for our February cruise on Getaway and noticed there were options to select date and times for dinners in Savor, Taste and Tropicana main dining rooms. I was under the assumption that we could go to the main dining rooms at any time we wanted and not have to make reservations. Can someone please clarify if reservations need to be made for the main dining rooms or if we can do walk in at our convenience. I'm only asking about the main dining rooms. Not speciality dining. Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I have to ask, what's a twizzy?

We'll be in Bermuda on the Getaway in February and we're interested in making a private excursion to the Crystal caves from the Dockyard. Does anyone know if this is an easy trip to make within the 9-4 window the ship will be in port? What's the best way to get to the caves? Thanks

I understand that Puerto Plata has 2 cruise ship ports. We will be sailing on the NCL Getaway 2/16-2/26 and will be in Puerto Plata on the 23rd but have no idea which port we will be arriving at. We are interested in the pool/lazy river area at Taino Bay but have heard it gets very busy when there are multiple cruise ships in town. according to Cruisedig, there will be 4 ships arriving in Puerto Plata on the 23rd but it does not specify whether they will be docking in Taino Bay or Amber cove. Does anyone know of a way to find this information? Thanks

Where will I find the porters?

Gotcha. Thanks

What is MCT?

The ship will be Getaway in February. I guess we'll either have to wait in that line or wait in line at customs for our bags. Either way there will be a wait. I did book the later bus but can change it if we can make it to the station early enough. I was just trying to figure out which way would get me to the busy station faster but I guess there is no definitive answer. Thanks for the input.
