Is there a charge for the game? Age restriction?

Two different hotels actually the The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Metropolitan and the Iroquois Hotel. What would a car service charge for the additional drop? No cell phones as they are from Canada and it would cost $20 just to be able to have service and this is the only real call they would need to make. They are flying in on Saturday Nov 29th around 1:30pm. I see that the van rate is $65 what would the actual rate be with tolls and tip?

For Manhattan

Is there a company that has covered/heated top row seating on any of there buses for hop on hop off?

How can my in-laws contact a car company for pick-up at Newark airport if they don't have a cell phone? Are there payphones? Can you catch a car service curb side and if so would it be the same rate as pre-booking one? Do they have Van's curb side? 4 people with bags.

Taking a bus up the white pass and the train down the white pass. For the best view should we be on the right side going up on the bus and on the right side going down for the best views?

The ship has a departure time of 9pm but what time can you board the Sun in Whittier?

What dose the meal itself include? We don't drink and have been on lots of galley tours before when they were offered for free. Just trying to see if it would still be worth it for us or not.

Anyone know if they plan on adding this to the Gem during dry dock in November?

My son will be leaving the ship early in Barbados we got written permission from NCL for him to disembark. They had to clear it with the port authority in Barbados. We also will have to provide a notarized letter for him to travel back home with his auntie as he is a minor. Now the one thing I'm not sure of is if he has to leave the ship in the morning with his bags or if we can go do an excursion come back and get his bags before heading off to the airport around 2pm?

I think going up the statue is overrated. You spend a couple of hours going up, then a couple of hours going down to look out a few small windows.

I thought they limited the number of people so that there wouldn't be long lines:(

What is the fastest one could expect to do the trip from Manhattan to Manhattan skipping Ellis Island?

I'm not seeing any cruise ships for Nov 28-29. The AIDAcita arrives 11/29 and departs 11/30. Perhaps someone else can look at the schedule to see if I missed anything.

The NCL breakaway on the 30th as well but your right not a busy schedule for cruise ships.

Will be in NYC Nov 28/29 and would like to head up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. I would also like to see some cruise ships leaving port on our way back or from the crown. The website states that the last boat leaves liberty island at 6:45pm however the latest ticket time I can book is 1pm?

I don't want to go to Ellis island what should my plan be?

App won't instal on my 2nd gen i-touch no big surprise pretty much nothing will.

My son and sister will be disembarking our cruise early in Barbados. Their flight is not until 4:30 so thinking of hiring a cab to tour us around until we need to head to the airport to drop them off then head back to the ship. Is there taxi's that we could hire at the port to handle 6 people plus two suitcases? Any ideas on the cost?

How many people do you need to book with him?

There are a few. We did the horseback riding with a small stable on Cockelshell Beach. It was informal and fun, 25$ and we rode about an hour. There was no safety, no helmets, saddles were English with rusted stirrups, etc. But it honestly was very fun. The guys had 3 horses and a donkey, they love their horses and the horses were well taken care of. My daughter has been riding and showing since she was 8 and it has been her dream to ride in the ocean. After the trail ride, he let her ride his donkey too. She thought that was fun. Anyway, might not be what you are looking for, there are more formal places, this was 3 years ago. Here is a link to a quick video from our ride.

 

That would be perfect. Thanks

Anyone done this more recently?

My sister in law and family will be getting off the Gem on Dec 13th. There will be 2 adults and 3 kids (10-15). Their flight leaves ERW at 5pm so thinking they should start heading that way around 2pm so that leaves them with 4 hours or so to kill in NYC. What would be a good option for them that would not cost much money?

Looks like it is coming to all NCL ships

"Onboard Connectivity

The iConcierge app, currently available onboard Epic, Breakaway and Getaway, will be rolled out across all ships and will allow cruisers to keep in touch with talk and text. According to the line, shipwide Wi-Fi is also undergoing improvements. Touch screens and digital signage are coming as well. "

Is there anywhere to do horse back riding in St Kitts?

What is the min age for a minor to take a NCL sponsored excursion with no adult?

Wife was able to serve herself in the buffet after boarding today so for now looks like things are back to normal.

Wow thanks for the quick replies they still have not boarded.

Wife is waiting to board right now there was no mention of it at check-in

My wife is waiting to board the STAR right now with her friend. My wife has a coke sticker on her card but my wife's friend dose not. They both pre-purchased the plan where should she go to get this straightened out? Also neither of them got a mug as they supposed to? The lady at check-in told them to go to deck 5?
