This year Luminosa is sailing down under. Those bookings will be only be on the carnival australia website. you will never find it on the main carnival website. Then in the Spring 2023 she will reposition to Seattle

another thing to keep in mind is that EWR is in New Jersey and the Financial District is in NYC. Sometimes they can be an extra out of state surcharge added in the taxi price

having sailed out of Cape Liberty for the first time last month, i find that Cape Liberty is a bigger PITA. There is no public transportation at that port, it is further away from NYC causing higher pricing for taxi/cab due to out of state pricing. in the morning after getting off the ship, it can be up to a 20-30 minute wait for a uber/lyft i love the main NYC terminal in Manhattan, so easy to get it by public transportation. lots of taxis in the area, etc

after about 15-20 minutes back at port, the ship is now heading back out again

the only time they do a deep through search is if they see something on the bag xray machine

captain is returning to port to pick up some fireworks for tonight

i sailed on the magic a few weeks ago and it seems to take up more time. it just nice to not having to show the papers at the terminal at the new york terminal, they check the vertifiy once you walk into the building before security

once it does come out, it will be posted here a dozen times and they will be lots of other posts about it

for canada, make sure you do the arrivecan. it is required for the new england cruises

the changes went into effect around January 2022, way before you booked that cruise

when shore excursions is canceled, refunds is given as onboard credit. check your final account statement if you still have it

this is why i love norwegian cruise lines. they have better platinum benefits like 10-15% discount off of photos, excursions and other things

On your latest invoice, look for something that says xx meal specialty dinning. it is under add-ons

for dinner, it is one certificate per room

cant believe it took NCL this long to finally do this

my cruise next year only went down 40 dollars 😞

my covid tests only cost 20 bucks each

on the magic last week, it was 6.50 for a milkshake if you want to a milkshake, go there early. the few times i went after 8pm they were out of ice cream for the milkshakes

The dinner portion is not that much. the only thing from Cucina in the MDR is the chicken parm and a pasta dish.not the full menu

Last month when i sailed on the Adventure of the seas out of cape liberty , it took the uber app forever to search for a driver and the wait was over 20+ minutes. this was around 8am also due to everyone requesting a uber, uber automaticlly added in that annoying extra surge pricing

this is why i hate some unions. i pay my dues and they dont do anything for me 😞

usually all onboard time/be back on the ship time is 30 minutes before sail away. for a 3pm departure, everyone needs to be onboard the ship by 2:30

there is also a dry dock in portland, oregon that NCL recently used for the POA. If repairs is needed, the ship could go there too.
