We watched the same thing just before you got on. We thought about our cruise being 18 days, and how much food and related was loaded, as we didn't re-supply anywhere, except for a large quantity of fish in Alesund (on Day 3). Then we thought about how your cruise was 24 days, and how much more stuff you would need. We also wondered if you would get resupplied in Reykjavik, as it was the biggest port, and towards the middle of your cruise. We were amongst the last off the ship a little after 9am...we weren't in a hurry (but there was a lot of people still getting off with us). There was a huge amount of supplies there already, and starting to load. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare The-Inside-Cabin Posted August 27, 2022 Author #283 Share Posted August 27, 2022 We are off the ship at 8:50. People who bought a lot of jewelry got called down to see customs and fill out forms. Everyone else. No forms. No passports required. massive taxi line. pre arrange pickup or walk to Hampton for Uber. Not sure about Uber delay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VacationCharlene Posted August 30, 2022 #293 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) We have twice used, from RT Boston, the Rowe's Water Taxi!! Easy peasy and a great price! $40 pp and stored luggage for awhile. We used them both times after disembarking at Boston, walking a short ways, getting on our pre-arranged water taxi. Being dropped off at their downtown office, bags held for a few hours, and then once again they take us to to the airport..... Thanks for taking us along with you 🙂 Edited August 30, 2022 by VacationCharlene 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for taking us along with you 🙂 I looked at that but you still had to get your bags down to the dock. Ok if you can manage them yourself. That was $50 pp to get me to airport and store bags. Then add on price of regular taxis to JFK Library and bag to ferry. Then add on hassle factors or loading 6 bags onto shuttle from airport ferry dock. if I only had 1 checked and 1 roller bag I would have done this. But with as many bags as we had we paid a premium for the convenience. it was the same price as the HAL transfer tour. This is a good option depending on your bag count and energy level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked Rowe's water taxi the last time we were in Boston. I called them as they requested and told them we were leaving the ship. They said call back when we had our luggage. Ten minutes later I called and said we had our luggage. They replied that they had just left without us and it would be at least an hour before they could come get us. And, they do not refund what you paid when they leave you behind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be having a Tuxedo Junction at 7pm in the Ocean Bar. The Gala Menu tonight is what you have come to see on Gala Nights on shorter cruises. There is nothing on here that you don't regularly see on daily menus.

Those appetizers: were they just offered for sailaway in some ports, or every day? Furthermore, I remember those appetizers were also served in the Crows Nest on Koningsdam when you orered a cocktail. Is it still the case? And I remember fingerfood which looked like this being served in bars in the evening, I think it was the Billboard Lounge. As I sail on Rotterdam next June 2023, would be great to know more about this! 🙂 Edited November 16, 2022 by shipfriend_max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
