I hope you don't mind a techie question as you are tech savvy and I'm not. I noticed in one of your photos that it looked as if you had a charger plugged directly into a USB port. I've been reading articles lately that say to not plug your devices directly into public USB ports as hackers can get your info, which has now, of course, made me paranoid! Do you feel that the ports in the ship cabins are safe to use for your devices? I appreciate any guidance you have. Thanks.

I would also suggest calling CAS. Maybe they will let you take over the reservation. Possibly they may charge you an additional amount to cover the cost of the discount they gave the family member. If that's the case, it might be worth the additional cost rather than lose everything. I'm assuming that you don't have trip insurance.

May I ask a silly question? Why did you rent a car if you're only in the port city overnight? Did you just rent it for one day or are you using it to drive to the port and park it there? It seems it would be easier to just arrange a shuttle or taxi to the hotel and port. Just curious.

That is not good news. Hopefully they will be able to follow Viva's lead and get them up and working. Thanks for the info.

"LIVE" from Norwegian Joy - April 28, 2024 NYC to Bermuda

Hah. I agree. When they first put them out I kept asking where the creamers were. Took me awhile to realize what they were as we were used to the little cups. -
Quick take and go bites/snacks on Norwegian Joy

The only place I can think of that might have something is in the Casino. They sometimes put out little snacks in the evening, it's pretty hit or miss, but might be worth a look. When I've seen them it's usually around 9pm. Enjoy -

That's a relatively new development. When we were on the Getaway in March they were just changing over to those half & half pouches from the coffee mate cups. Enjoying your "live". Thanks for taking us along. -

Thanks for the explanation. I never knew that! I was surprised when I saw it was a RCCL ship as I knew they docked in NJ. -

Watching the Joy sail away now. She is passing right next to another cruise ship in the Hudson going the other way. Don't see that often. Couldn't tell what ship it is. -

How was the parking situation? Did you park at the pier? I'm considering driving in for our cruise next month, but don't want to get there and not be able to get parking. Thanks! Enjoy! -

Yes! That was her. She was terrific and sounds like there's a lot of us who will miss her. She was the one who told me I would still get a drink card for drinks in the Casino which we now know is wrong. Maybe she just got tired of the cut backs to the programs and being limited as to what she could offer! -
Another option is the Astronaut's Hall of Fame museum which is outside of Kennedy Space Center, but relatively close. We were there many years ago and found it fascinating. You can sit in an actual space capsule. Boy are they small! You can probably spend an hour or two there. Enjoy!

Looking forward to your review. We met you many years ago, I think on the Gem. We gave you a tour of the Haven. Have a great cruise. I can't wait for all the info as we'll be on her in a few weeks. Enjoy! -

I also lost my rep. She was really great and always tried to work her "magic" for me on pricing. I had sent an e-mail, but never heard back and it wasn't even returned. When I called I was told that she now longer worked there. I had another male rep for years and when he left I worked with my latest one. I now have a new rep and she's very nice, but I don't really have a relationship with her yet and she isn't quite as generous. Although that may just be CAS cutting back as she took time to look up everyone sailing with me to see what she could offer. If we're allowed to say names they were Alan and Kim.
