Cruisin'4Us

Thank you! I'll try to remember to use Costco as an initial GPS destination or a waypoint. Our PA E-ZPass is old and infrequently used. If it doesn't work I assume we, or PA, will be notified (or will the NJ Turnpike Authority send a Reaper drone after us?) 😉

Thank you for the directions! I was able to step through this on google street view. When the cruise is over, would you recommend taking CFW (as opposed to 440N) to get back to 14A?

Regarding directions, the above link states: "From Exit 14A: Follow the signs for Route 440 South. Proceed 1 1/2 miles and make a left into the Bayonne Ocean Terminal. The cruise terminal is two miles straight ahead." Do we still make the left turn onto Goldsborough Drive? We're not sure what "the Bayonne Ocean Terminal" is.

When will passengers learn ... use the "Do Not Disturb" sign!

Jet skis?

Good thought. To try and figure out which drink package is best for us, what is the approximate price for the typical shot (rum, gin, tequila, Canadian whisky) that a bartender would use in mixed or frozen drinks?

If a passenger has a Refreshment Package and wishes to purchase an alcoholic drink that would normally cost $14 (without any drink package), will they be charged $14, or some other incremental amount? For example - if the only difference between a virgin frozen drink and an alcoholic frozen drink is the alcohol, and the virgin drink is included under the Refreshment Package, is the passenger charged the full price for the drink with the alcohol? Thanks in advance!

Thank you. I wasn't sure if Barefoot was one of the exclusions of the Royal Up program.

Will a Royal Up upgrade to a Junior Suite or a Grand Suite permit access to Barefoot Beach? Thank you!

DD's passport received 8/16. Still waiting for her new passport card and the old passport and card to be returned.

Good question. We listed our travel date as roughly 11 months away from the mail date. Our renewal took about 7 weeks, I was wondering if passport renewals were being processed faster for typed (on a computer before printing) vs hand written applications, or for renewals with no changes from the prior passport.

Our old passports and cards were returned yesterday. That's good, but they did not appear in the USPS informed delivery email. Also, the envelopes were not secure at all - the flap could easily be pulled apart and resealed. The adhesion was good enough for mailing, but not for security. DD's application is still In Process.

Add us to the list of Grand Cayman excursion fans! It's been years, but we loved Pancho's Backyard (Mexican restaurant) in Cozumel. We went to the original location (not the one at the port.) If you go, go early to avoid crazy long lines.

2 Passport Cards arrived today. We are still waiting for DD's approval and the return of all old passports and cards.

Our applications were received on 06/13/2023. Although we are signed up for email status notifications, we haven't received any (even in our spam folder)!
