  1. Usually around 45 days in advance so pretty soon. Jonathan
  2. Cunard - 14 Royal Caribbean - 11 Princess - 4 Celebrity - 3 Holland America Line - 3 Royal Viking Line - 1 Mississippi Queen - 1 Italian Line - 1 French Line - 1 Jonathan
  3. If you're sailing on Quantum or Oasis Class ships you will have access to the Coastal Kitchen private dining room for dinner. This is a terrific perk, delicious meals and excellent service. Jonathan
  4. 7 days aboard a ship always beats out 5 days unless the ports are really spectacular. On day 5, of a one week cruise, you'll be relishing two more days in La La Land instead of packing and affixing those wretched debark stickers to your luggage. Happy Cruising. Jonathan
  5. They used to used to make smoothies at the Sunshine Bar in the Solarium but, not any longer. You can usually find smoothies during breakfast at the Windjammer. Jonathan
  6. Technical issues. Fairly common occurrence at Royal Caribbean's website. Hang tight, they'll have it fixed soon. Jonathan
  7. Ugh, that sucks. Ship issues huh? Hopefully you can sleep on board overnight. Jonathan
  8. I checked several affordable hotels for the dates you listed above. The prices are based on the hotel websites. If you book through a third party site you can probably get some good prices but, you never know exactly where the room is, like facing a brick wall or next to a loud air conditioner outside. Manhattan is where you want to be, that's where all the action is, the famous sites and historic landmarks. Best Western - East 49th street between 3rd avenue and Lexington. Nice hotel prices in your range between $250 and $350. Great location steps from Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Theater District and many nice restaurants and diners. Hilton Garden Inn - East 52nd near 3rd Avenue. King bed room approximately $353 with Hilton Honors discount. Great neighborhood, close to many attractions. Omni Berkshire Place - East 52nd between Madison and 5th Avenue. Excellent area, very nice hotel, close to great shopping, Central Park just seven blocks away. Rockefeller Center, MoMa, theater district. King bedroom starting at $324 per night $350 for deluxe king. The Jewel Club Quarters east 51rst between 5th and 6th avenue. Located in Rockefeller Center. Very close to theater district, shopping, Central Park, MoMa, Saks 5th Avenue. King rooms starting at $328 for advanced purchase. If you use a discount hotel site there are many great options like the Benjamin on 51rst just off Lexington - the Michangelo - 51rst street just off 7th avenue. The Kimberly - East 50th street between 3rd and Lexington among many others. Jonathan
  9. I would suggest booking a return flight for noon or later. Sure, you might make an earlier departure but, it's not uncommon to experience delays debarking, collecting your luggage. Save yourself the stress and schedule for a time you can easily make. Jonathan
  10. That's a great shame, such a lovely port. Hope the QM2 is okay. Enjoy the rest of your voyage. Jonathan
  11. That would be my vote as Essiesmom pointed out. You could debark in La Spezia and have a full day to get to the MSC's departure port. Jonathan
