Schoifmom Posted September 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Well, we're here and checked in and I promised an update. The hotel, as promised, is a typical Garden Inn. When we checked in, he asked for the time we wished to leave tomorrow and the time we wished to be picked up upon returning next Saturday. So, good news, it is confirmed to be round trip. They didn't blink an eye at accommodating hunby's mobility scooter. More updates and questions answered when we return :) Edited September 2, 2016 by Schoifmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimi05052012 Posted September 4, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Looking forward to hearing your experience. We sail on 9/18. Have hotel booked but worried about return trip. We used car service one cruise and it was very chaotic trying to meet driver. Trying to decide if we should keep reservation or just drive in and park at pier. Hope you have a wonderful cruise.

Schoifmom Posted September 11, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Return was seamless. The same driver that dropped us off picked us up. He phoned when he arrived in Manhattan and we told him right where we were. No issues at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel much better about the to/from the pier and the hotel. I hope our group of 8 will have the same experience the end of January. Look forward to your comments about your cruise. Were there places to eat near the hotel? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all laundry today :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi05052012 Posted September 13, 2016 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Thanks so much for the update. We're going to cancel our hotel in south jersey and go forward with this plan. Hope you had a wonderful cruise and aren't suffering too badly from the post cruise blues! We're looking forward to getting away on Saturday!!

Looking to book 2 rooms, 1 package one and 1 regular one. I am assuming you have 1 car?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't do these unusual booking online. Edited September 26, 2016 by 138east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
