  1. Other than a very simple continental breakfast which is free between the for about 4 hours in the morning, room service incurs a charge of $7.95 per order. The fee is waived on items that have a cost associated to them such as alcoholic beverages and special orders (cheese plate etc.)

    If you have the UBP and order a beer with room service, there is no charge?

  2. I'd book dinners and shows ahead of time. There will be over 1000 kids on your sailing due to the teachers convention (I assume you chose this week for that reason). I don't know how old your kids are, but if you are interested in spa passes, book them ahead of time to save some $ - the pool deck will be nuts, and we loved having an escape from the crowds.

     

    I hear it could be up to 1500 kids

     

    that is why we booked 2 weeks later at 1/2 the cost

  3. Yes, we routinely bring a 12 or 18 pack of water. We have simply taped a luggage tag to the pack in some cases, but now use a small nylon suitcase that folds flat to check it.

     

    Some ports won't handle water as luggage and you have to carry on if it's not in a suitcase. We haven't run into that, but like our nylon suitcase.

     

    The drinking water on the ship is pretty good, and safe, but it is chlorinated so if taste is important to you, go ahead and carry on some water!

     

    Thanks for you quick response!

     

    I heard that out of NY the breakaway accepts coolers

  4. Driving in NYC ain't all that bad, despite what you might think. My honest suggestion..? Drive aggressive , or be left behind lol. Can't really help much with parking, as luck has it, my employer has a lot 2 blocks from the terminal that I've parked in for free the last 6 cruises. One thing you might look into, theres several hotels in Staten Island, minutes from the VZ bridge, that might work out for you as well. Good luck, and have a great cruise :D:D

     

    as a life long NY'er my biggest complaint is stay out of the left lane,,,thanks!:)
