    Anthem and Noro - sailing today?

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    I would love to know who told you they stopped serving drinks with fruit, as one of the standard sanitation procedures, even when there is no noro, is that all "ready to eat" food, like fruits and vegetables for salads are sanitized before leaving the provisions area.

     

     

     

    My son ordered a mojito and could not get one because the mint was taken away because it sits out in the open all day. Airborne germs

    Pearl mini aft vs. BA spa balcony?

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    I am booked in an aft mini suite on Pearl and was wondering how the balcony size compares to a spa balcony on Breakaway? I think that balcony was one of the smallest I have had. I know the balcony on deck 9 and 10 are bigger on Pearl but will the balcony be bigger than the Breakaway? The cabin was $1400 less than deck 10 for some reason.

    EWR hotel cruise hotel then LGA

    Please post the dates and the details of the plans for your cruise. Hotel prices vary a lot as do the transportation expenses if you're at a Newark Airport hotel instead of in downtown Newark. The advice that was given was very specific for the OP's dates and sightseeing plans.

     

     

     

    Our plans are to fly from Buffalo to EWR on 9/29 for an Escape cruise leaving on 9/30. We hope to arrive before 12 pm and spend a little time in NYC but no plans to do anything in particular. There are two adults and traveling light with luggage we can carry. The rate right now is $139.

     

    Our plans to return home is by Amtrak the day our ship comes back to port.

    For Dec 14 the Newark Penn Station Hilton is $139 plus tax and a little less if you join Hilton Honors. They have an airport shuttle, but you have to take yourselves on the free Airtrain to the P4 station to connect with it. This hotel is connected to Newark Penn Station by a skywalk, so you can take PATH from there directly to the WTC in downtown Manhattan to do the 911 Memorial area.

     

     

     

    For Dec 15 you take the NJTransit train to New York Penn Station ($5.25/pp adults, $2.45/pp kids), exit out to 8th Ave, and take a cab to the port ( $12-15)

     

     

     

    New York Hotel prices are substantially less for Dec 22. Look at Marriott.com and Hilton.com to see what appeals and make cancellable reservations for a midtown hotel that you can live with for that date including rooms for your Mom. Once the other pieces of your trip are settled, you can start looking for lower priced nonrefundable deals if you like.

     

     

     

    That sounds perfect to me, I'm coming from Buffalo for an Escape cruise and EWR is the easiest airport to use. I was thinking it would cost a small fortune to get to the ship.

    Special dining room request - diabetic

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    I am diabetic and control it with diet alone. Part of my daily routine is a large salad before dinner. When I was on Carnival back in May I had to ask for a Caesar salad without the dressing ( I bring my own low fat/sugar) and was given 4 leaves of green. Is there a way to request each night at dinner in the MDR for a full bowl or plate of mixed greens? We will be on the Anthem next month and noticed requests need to be before 30 days which I missed
