10,000+ Club

10,000+ Club (5/15)

  1. As someone who travels with 5 kids, 2 cabins always beats a suite by a lot of $.
  2. I’m in NJ, same, I get solicitations all if the time asking if I want to sell, there’s no inventory. A twin house a block away sold for $200,000+ over asking last month. It’s very rare for a home to sell under asking here.
  3. But in this case it’s a minuscule tax charged by the port.
  4. Good information, I had also heard that going to cable beach is really no longer an option.
  5. In nyc, we show up at 9, the earliest check in, drop luggage with the porters, see it again when it comes to the cabin. The OP said they want yo drop off luggage, check in, and then explore. Nothing is out of order, no one had eyes on their luggage during the time between luggage drop off and boarding. If the all aboard time is at 2, sailing at 4, I can’t imagine why luggage can’t be dropped off early. While waiting in the cruise terminal we still see many disembarking, lots check in before the ship has been cleared.
  6. I’ve been sailing out of manhattan for 25 years, there has always been tax charged on drinks while in port (but never $2, usually under $1). No biggie.
  7. I’ve lived in Essex county NJ my entire life so very familiar with those areas. With traffic it could take 1+ hour to get to the cruise terminal. I think Secaucus is 6 miles away, if one wants a mall with food options American dream is 2 miles away, 2nd largest mall in the country, they can shop, eat, ski, ice skate, golf, see an aquarium, go to a water park or amusement park, go on a giant Ferris wheel… I’ve stayed at the Hilton, they used to have a great Sunday brunch but I think that’s gone. Montclair also has a couple higher end hotels with great shopping and restaurants closer to NYC.
  8. Secaucus isn’t what I’d consider urban, or in a desolate area. http://www.harmonmeadow.com/Pages/index.html
