So much more to do on an Oasis class ship than the Liberty. The only reason I would choose the Liberty is if you want a low key experience with less people

The last Odyssey sailing open for booking is February 22, 2025, 7 night Bahamas out of Bayonne. 

I'm curious what's going on in Cape Liberty from March 1 and beyond. The spring and fall ships don't usually arrive until late April/early May. Do you think the port will be empty until then, a two months filling with another ship, or one or both of the spring ships will arrive early?

Not really. If the one you want has a wait, just go to another. There's over 100 places to eat by the port.

it's about a 3/4 to a mile from the cruise port. you could walk there, and put your child in a stroller.

As you approach Senor Frogs, make a left at the big chair in front. Go up about a block and there's a store selling beer and liquor on the right. Don't know the hours. 

They cost me $20 on the Symphony this past May.

IIRC it's on the Philipsburg/Great Bay boardwalk about half way. 

The Caribbean Brewing Company is on the boardwalk??????

I'm curious about this because although we can reserve theater shows and aqua shows on our Symphony trip next month, no ice shows are available. I recall being able to reserve these in the past. I wonder if something is going on with the rink on symphony?

Or they're sold out already?

Which Bridge is this? How long after sailaway assuming this is close to Bayonne.

Verrazano Bridge. About 20-30 minutes after departure.

That's why we book an accessible cabin as soon as new batches are released. When people leave their carriage and wagons and whatever else in the way, we just call security. I used to knock on the offenders door, but too many times they refused to do anything.

I've never had trouble bringing any on board . Like mentioned earlier, make sure they are unopened.

When we were on oasis  a couple of months ago I was trying to put it in our room and our steward told us to just leave it in the hallway and he would make sure it was taken to be charged overnight.

Not sure if it would happen on all the ships but he was a great, very helpful and kind steward.

That depends on the hotel director. Just remember you can't leave it unattended in the hallway, it is a safety violation and well as blocking other scooters from getting thru. 

PS. If you want to practice  just go to your local Walmart and use theirs.

They actually have two shows, 1977 and 25 minutes showcase show that I think was called 2.0

I was not pleased with the selection of the dinner items in the main dining room.  That definitely needs some improvement. My family was a group of 10 and all enjoyed the buffet for breakfast and lunch. Lots of good choices to try and enjoy.  

Keep in mind that dinner menus are set by corporate. They are not ship dependent.

Would love to do that cruise.  We are going on a 9 day cruise to Bermuda/St Martin/ San Juan, and hopefully Labadee.

We're doing a 9 day Bermuda/Caribbean next month that included Labadee. They substituted Turks/Caicos. I consider that a winning upgrade.

I will definitely take my camera on this cruise and try to capture the statue with my 400mm lens.  Catching Liberty from Liberty! 

You can get a good view while you are docked, but a zoom lens is a must. Sounds like you are covered. I'm doing two NE/Canada cruise next fall. Which one are you on?

The parking situation when multiple ships use the port (May-Oct) is a little different. At these times the enclosed parking garage is used for accessible parking only. Outside parking is available and limited shuttle service to the terminal is provided.

Also, don't expect to sail by the Statue of Liberty. You will see her but the Port is past her on the Hudson River.

Or all the pieces may not be there.

Where's it located?

Not really a set pattern. I would start looking closely around September 1.

@mets123of course, forgiven! No problem.

Great. Now I can sleep tonight.

See post 6.

I'm so sorry, I missed that. Mistakes happen. Can you ever forgive me?

I assume you're docked in Havensite. It's a five minute walk to the sky ride. It's an eight minute ride to town. Check out Geoffrey tours. He has a tour that will pretty much give you want you are looking for. He's very reasonable and I've used him many times. Never been disappointed.

Can you please elaborate on which parts of Fanuil Hall are open and which are closed. I'm there this September.
