LatinaInTexas Posted September 5, 2022 #1976 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Safe travels home. Having never been there it was really interesting to read about your NY adventures and your pictures were amazing, they told the whole story. Have never had any interest in going to NY, pretty much still don't, it would be out of my comfort zone but you piqued my interest lol. Out of curiosity I saw this was your 19th Carnival cruise. Have you ever sailed other cruise lines? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fethiyeden Posted September 5, 2022 #1977 Share Posted September 5, 2022 @Saint Greg Thanks for another fabulous adventure. Can’t wait for the next one. Have a safe journey home. We are cruising Ncl out of New Orleans in January so will be going back & rereading about your cruises from there as have 5 nights in New Orleans beforehand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2022 Author #1978 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Kinda of a madhouse outside. I didn’t book the carnival transfer. It was $40 and the bus was between piers 88 and 90. uber/Lyft were in the 52-65 range when I was upstairs. Now mostly in the $60-75 range but I was able to grab an Uber for $56. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2022 Author #1979 Share Posted September 5, 2022 It wanted me to meet the driver on this corner which would mean walking down that fence line and back. I manually adjusted the pickup point to pier 90 which is where I’m standing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2022 Author #1984 Share Posted September 5, 2022 But I got in. Loaded my own bags. This isn’t the most friendly driver in the world but it’ll get me there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskylady Posted September 5, 2022 #1987 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Wow. That was an amazing tale from a man on a great big ship, who shared his plans (what a busy man), on one fantastic trip. (Oh gad, the Gilligan’s Island theme will be stuck in my head for hours). You manage to pack so much in a short amount of time! Thanks for all the pictures, commentary, observations and taking all that time to do it. I’ve followed you, (not in that creepy way) on Splendor and now Magic on Saturday. Any way you can sail Celebration before January? 😉 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s me. Just under 4 hours till my flight…should have plenty of time at LGA. Another great review, will be on the Magic in November Edited September 5, 2022 by jimbo5544 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2022 Author #1995 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Check in is right through the door. This family in front of me had all kinds of problems that held me up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2022 Author #1996 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Just after check in is security. They had 1 tsa agent for awhile which slowed things down. Then just before my turn they added a second one. The family in front of my had more problems and a couple of the were sent back to check in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted September 5, 2022 Author #1997 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) The security lady at the body scanner had a real attitude. I get in…she says take your belt off. I do that. Then she says pull your pants up. Not that they were falling down or anything it wasn’t even noticeable to me. But I said something like..well you just had me take my belt off… she says “do we have a problem here?” No. “Oh good I thought we had a problem we needed to rectify.” Even after I went through the scanner and was collecting my belongings. I heard her talking to another security officer. “I thought I was going to have to rectify that.” Or something like that. She’s just looking to start trouble. It’s not like I wasn’t doing what she said. I just made a comment while I was doing it. She doesn’t like comments apparently.
