Rare JessyCruises Posted June 24, 2022 #77 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I am onboard now and was very confused 😂 I am working in the solarium and have noise cancelling headphones in. I had my head down staring at my computer and thought that it was weird that it felt like we were moving and that could not be right because sail away was hours away. Sure enough I finally looking up eventually and I could no longer see the Manhattan skyline. I can now though so it looks like we are back at the terminal, or almost there. Hopefully this does not hold you guys up to much!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they must have a better plan than this… you pay the high amount of port fees (Alaska is worse) to leave from Cape Liberty and the experience is never great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we got lucky when we boarded on the 5th. We boarded at 10AM and there was no moving until sail away. I did not notice it on the 10th or 17th either.

While you are on the Oasis in September I will be on the Symphony… we can do an Oasis Class comparison 😂 simultaneously… well I will be a day ahead but still ! The bourbon/whiskey selections were poor. Never saw: Woodford Macallan Rarely saw: Makers Mark Bulleit Buffalo Trace Crown Royal Often saw: Jameson Jack Daniels Gentleman Jack Probably others that other folks know of, but that was my “hit list”. mac_tlc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted June 24, 2022 Author #82 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Day 1 Chaos… they set up chairs in the luggage area and filled the room but when it’s time to board… guess what happened… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as people keep paying their money, the port will continue to offer crappy service. In fact, they will likely see just how crappy they can push it until people stop paying. This is one of the key principles of microeconomics. ☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s what I don’t understand how can there be a shortage of bourbon when it’s an American made product. I did not hear of any shut downs in the distilleries in Kentucky during COVID. Somebody please enlighten me? Edited June 24, 2022 by Sea Dog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted June 24, 2022 Author #87 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Day 1 So we were allowed to board around noon time… it was chaotic but surprisingly people did not complain as much as I thought they would … I made it onto the ship around 12:45pm and the first thing I did was connect to the Wi-Fi to make show reservations!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted June 24, 2022 Author #97 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Day 1 I was told that this is FULL capacity… 6500 cruisers but will see what the final count will be… I quickly adjusted my dinning to traditional dinning. I don’t want to deal with the MTD mess that it’s going to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker, who thinks RCI is inventing new FULL capacity numbers and they could be as dynamic as their cabin pricing.
