We just got off Harmony of Saturday and completely agree, service was not up to par.... I heard from another cruiser that a lot of the staff was at the end of their tour and preparing to go home.... not that this is an excuse. Everyone seemed tired, almost overwhelmed at times. There are A LOT of people on that ship.... We stayed in an owner's suite, I won't even tell you what we paid for our stateroom and definitely didn't feel "wowed." This is our 6th RCCL cruise, we are pretty loyal to Royal but we were disappointed. Let's all try to be kind and respect each other's opinions.... I, too, feel if I can spare someone's expectations (and expense) then I will!...

I had mine done laparoscopically on a Thursday and I was picking out appliances on Saturday. Easy peasy and I'm kind of a wimp... Good luck!

Love these videos! Thanks for sharing....

This is AWESOME information!! Thank you guys so much.... Jersey sounds like the way to go (although my husband wants to stay in the city and get the "full effect.") Oh well... We might have to save that for another time. Thanks again!

We are sailing on the Breakaway on March 29th, just the 3 of us, and my 12 yr. old is dying to see NY. We thought we'd go up early on Saturday, grab a few meals, walk around, shop, etc. before our cruise the next morning. So, yes, we are looking for a hotel with parking (either garage or valet) for the night before and then we will drive over to the port the next morning to board the ship. Will they even let us park before we check in? Not so sure... but our goal is to walk around and enjoy some sights on Saturday before heading out on Sunday. The cost is secondary..... we already know we're in for a few bucks (!) It's mostly the convenience (or inconvenience) that we're trying to focus on... Does that make sense?

Oh sorry, I wasn't clear..... We were just looking for a hotel with a garage/ place to park for 24 hrs. before driving to the pier for the week. The whole draw for leaving out of NY was that we didn't need to fly or take the train, we could just drive up.....

My husband, son and I are driving to New York from Maryland. Cruise begins on Sunday but we would like to drive up on Saturday and stay in the city overnight. Anyone have any recommendations for a decent hotel that may have a garage... Any info would be appreciated as we have only ever cruised out of Florida. Thanks so much.....
