  1. We sailed on Summit last August and will be on Equinox in 3 wks. Before that we were Carnival cruisers for years.  On Summit, I was constantly comparing things to my Carnival experiences.  More things were similar than different.  The food I found very similar, missed Carnivals chocolate melting cake, the best! The service I found good on both, bar service better on Carnival.  So many have drink plans on Celebrity that waiters can be scarce.  Entertainment/ activities were better for us on Celebrity just because we are older now and it seemed a little calmer.  Prices...I booked both cruises on Celebrity because they were cheaper than what I could book on Carnival at the time and the itineraries were good.  We are near retirement age, upper middle class income and for us cruising has always been what you make of it.  Relax, you’ll have a great time!

  2. What time do you have to be at 7th Ave & 50th?

     

    I'm thinking PATH because it runs every 20 minutes on Sat and, because it's not running to 33rd St on weekends, you're supposed to be able to get a free metro card good for 2 subway rides. The train schedule is clustered between :10 past to :30 past with no trains for 40 minutes. At World Trade you would find the R train and ride directly to 49th & 7th.

     

     

     

    Train plus subway would be $8.25 each way, but with the PATH "deal" it would be $2.75 each way with 2 free subway rides.

     

     

     

    The tour starts at 10am. Thought we would leave Newark around 8am, whenever departure is. Since this is our first visit, wanted some experienced advice. Thank you again!

  3. Need advice on train/subways. We are flying in to Newark on Aug 24th and sailing on Summit Aug 26th. We plan to spend Saturday the 25th seeing all we can in NYC, our first visit. Staying at Newark Penn Station Hilton. What is the best route to take in the morning around 8 to 9 am to 7th ave. 50th st (we plan a tour starting there)- PATH to WTC then subway or Train to Penn Station NY then subway? Thanks for your help.
