Schist79 Posted September 25, 2010 #77 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hi everyone! I'm from the central NJ area and will be going on my first RCCL cruise in just a few weeks (Oct. 14th Explorer of th Seas)... Have always been very happy with Carnival, and NCL was slightly less impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody01 Posted September 26, 2010 #78 Share Posted September 26, 2010 JUST found this thread, so I must put in my 2 cents. We are from central jersey (toms river) we are "waitlisted" for Explorer of the Seas on 1.16.2011. Also considering NCL Jewel (first time on NCL)1.2.2011 any input? attendees?

Lipz Posted October 7, 2010 #83 Share Posted October 7, 2010 We've been to Jersey before can we pull up a chair!?!? :D I'm dai* of Dana & Sharine and we will be getting hitched on our third cruise next July. We live in NYC so we're doing the Jewel, in that way we can have sailing and non sailing guest. Good to see some cruisers near our neck of the woods especially since I didn't see a NYC thread.

moltoitalian Posted March 31, 2011 #86 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hey guys - I'm a recent 'new jerseyan'... (moved from westchester ny to hoboken) and my boyfriend and I are big fans of cruising - especially from NY. Nothing better then leaving work and being ON vacation instantly!! We just picked our next cruise - on the Explorer of the Seas on May 26 - 9 nights to Bermuda and Eastern Caribbean and are very pumped for this itinerary! Any others been? Suggestions/Tips? How is gay life on board - does RCCL make an effort to offer a meet up? Anyone else going on this trip... because we'd love to make new friends! Anyone have tips on getting to/from the dock - I've only ever left NYC from Manhattan - so not sure the smartest way to get to the docks in Bayonne - especially since I live in Hoboken, which is very close, but not too close. I read that there is a light rail stop near the dock - but wont drop you off close to the actual ship terminal - what has others done. Happy cruising all! -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will actually be in your area the week of May 28 - June 4th. We're staying in Ocean City, NJ. Maybe we could meet while we're down there, first.

Luke916 Posted June 5, 2011 #91 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hey Jamey & Marc here and have been on 9 cruises so far and planned our 10th for next month on the Sapphire Princess to Alaska. We will actually be doing back to back cruises last week in July and first week of August. Defintely like to travel and meet other gay cruisers too...so far have been pretty disappointed with most cruise lines when it comes to FOD meetings but when we did princess back in 2007 we had a blast and they seem to care about their gay passengers. Let us know if there is ever a meeting ...we would both love to join and chat about our experinces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuteBoysNY Posted June 7, 2011 #92 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Steve, My partner Rich (41) and I (Tim - 36) will be on the Explorer from July 7-16th on the same itinerary. We live on Staten Island and Bayonne is just a mere 15 minute ride away from us. Can you give us any feedback on your experience on the ship and with Royal? We have been on so many cruises, mostly with Carnival and once with Princess (on the Emerald Princess' maiden Carribean voyage). How was "gay life" on the ship?

johnnyswitzerland Posted June 8, 2011 #93 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi fellas! John here. My partner's Dave and we're in Edgewater, NJ (Bergen County). LOVE cruising. See past trips below. Still haven't cruised out of NYC, though I'm dying to do it. Cutting air travel out of the equation would be a dream! We've done two Atlantis cruises (plus one resort trip with them) and are looking forward to heading back to Atlantis in 2012 after an extended absence.

Fidel2Cruise Posted September 25, 2011 Author #95 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Glad to see folks are finding this thread useful. I apologize for not responding, but I must have eliminated email summaries and didn't realize people were still on this thread. I had offered to get everyone together for a meet and greet. I am recommending Brunch on Sunday, November 20 at 12:30PM, Old Man Rafferty in New Brunswick as this is central in the State and also offers direct train service from NYC. Please respond to me if you are interested, garciafa at optonline dot net. I am not sure if I can figure out everyones emails from the posts.
