Saint Greg's New York City and Magic to Bermuda - Live - August 27-September 5 2022

[LatinaInTexas]

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?

@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.

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.

[Saint Greg]

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.

[Saint Greg]

He drove past me then sent two messages 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

He came back

 

 

[Saint Greg]

This bus was blocking both lanes for a few mins.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

But I got in. Loaded my own bags. This isn’t the most friendly driver in the world but it’ll get me there.

 

[Saint Greg]

So I started my debarkation process at 8:15 and was in the Uber at 8:53. Scheduled to arrive at 9:27. My flight leaves at 11:59am.

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?  😉

[Saint Greg]

That’s probably it over yonder.

8:05 Seems he’s called muster stations A3-5, B3-5, and C3-4

 

now calling luggage tags 1-15. 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

It’s a really small, easy airport to navigate.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

I left Some things out of my bag like hairspray, deodorant, hand soap., spicy ketchup. Just to make sure I didn’t go over the weight limit at 40

lbs. I came in at 37.5

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Kiosks to print bag tags and boarding passes

 

[Saint Greg]

Check in is right through the door. This family in front of me had all kinds of problems that held me up.

 

[Saint Greg]

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.

 

[Saint Greg]

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.

Sounds like a problem you need to rectify 😀

I’m blaming the TSA agent.
