  1. You can’t do this. No no no. Lol. When exactly is the cruise? You’re going to be sucked into traffic going to the Jersey Shore or Atlantic City especially on a Friday evening also.
  2. Ask when you get on the cruise. They’ll know.
  3. Go to a hotel. Obviously not a five star hotel. Go to the bell desk. Say Hi can you keep our bags until check/in. Have a $10 bill in your hand. 99% of the time it will be sure no problem.
  4. I always look at the included excursions with the extensions. I did take an extension in Milan because it included hard to get Last Supper and a private boat tour of Lake Como. I also took the extension in Munich because it included Neuschwanstein Castle. Many times the extension leaves the entire afternoon free so you have to do research anyway. Obtain tickets or tours to popular sites beforehand.
  5. Hi. Where is your hotel located or will you be coming directly from JFK? if you are near Penn Station you can find the PATH train to Bayonne on 33rd Street. You need to exit Penn Station and walk. It’s not far. But if you are near the World Trade Center you can catch the PATH train there.
  6. Which itinerary? Some itineraries you can walk around town a bit if you wish on some stops.
  7. I would definitely do the Alto Vista Chapel if you’re Christian. It’s just a lovely place. The Natural Bridge is also something only in Aruba and everyone should see the rough side of the island. The lighthouse has beautiful views. I’ve never done the others. But I do love Aruba Aloe products. The sunburn gel is great especially but I just purchase at one of the Aruba Aloe stores.
  8. Hi. Maybe a starting point is to decide if you want to do ESB or Top of the Rock. If you do Top of the Rock you will be able to view the ESB and get it in your pics. There are nice enough hotels near the ESB or Rock Center. Personally Rock Center area a bit nicer and more to see right there.
  9. I have a bunch of photos from my trip posted here if you want to search.
  10. Don’t worry about the Last Supper, your guides will have it booked and let you know when you get there. As was explained to us, it’s very difficult to get the booking for the Last Supper and they can’t always get it for the first day. We had it in the second day and it all worked out. We took the Masterpiece extra tour to Lake Como and loved it. Definitely take it if it is offered.
  11. Hi. We took this tour last summer. It looks like you have Lake Como covered I was going to suggest that. Also we booked directly thru the Milan Duomo the tour amongst the spires on the roof. We loved that. If you have free time in Milan I recommend that. When you are in Venice you will be given the choice of tours on the last day. I highly recommend the tour that goes to the market by the Rialto bridge. You travel there in private water taxi which is worthwhile as it is. Also don’t leave without a gondola ride. This is a matter of personal taste but there were one or two stops where you get to choose a beautiful church or a winery. We always chose the winery and were always glad. All the included tours were wonderful.
  12. You’ll be able to cross 6th Ave on foot. You could always walk over to 7th Ave and then get a cab or Uber from there. No need to walk the entire distance.
  13. I’m surprised Bratislava isn’t a separate stop. How many days in Vienna do you have? Bratslavia is interesting especially if you take the hike up to the Castle, but Vienna much more worth your time. But it also depends if you want to learn more about Maria Theresa. It’s a lot. Lol
  14. I’m sure it will be fine. Usually a good conversation is other cruises you’ve been on and places you’ve traveled to.
