seadog67 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #77 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Have a great time. We loved the Breakaway...... Thanks champagne, she is high on our list as well! Thinking about sailing down the Hudson had us discussing which embarkation port we liked the best and we came up with the following rankings: 1) Manhattan NY - Short commute, love the view sailing down the Hudson on nice afternoons. 2)Miami - Beautiful sail away in usually beautiful weather and a nice pre-cruise stay. 3)Fort Lauderdale - Similar to Miami, and we love when they blow the horn at the condos by the beach. 4) Cape Liberty- similar to NY but loses points for shorter sail down the hudson and not having the excitement of being in NY. That last point is a positive as well as it is easier to get in and out of than Manhattan. 5) Norfolk Virgina. - Sailed one time on the Grandeur of the Seas and had a blast with our pre-cruise stay, but being a 6 hour drive was a negative. 6) Philadelphia - Sail my first ever cruise in 2004 to Bermuda on the old Celebrity Horizon from Philly. Living 10 Minutes away was awesome and even though it is at the bottom of the list it will always be my first embarkation port. 7)Baltimore - Have not sailed from here yet but we are looking at doing that soon. (Saw Radios many sailing and want to give it a try). So maybe something for a different thread but feel free to share your thoughts on your favorites as the pre-cruise portion of this report continues as we head up out shortly.

Nydrogers Posted August 30, 2015 #83 Share Posted August 30, 2015 A question probably not for this board but was wondering if you could find out for me if they have the NFL network. My husband & I will be sailing on the November 8th cruise to Bahamas & Florida. We are interested in watching football & there is a game on Thursday night. Thanks in advance & looking forward to your live report. Have a great vacation & Happy Anniversary!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitterman Posted August 30, 2015 #88 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I see parking has gone up a fair amount since the last time I parked at the terminal (2011). I think it was $210 for the week then. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do know the bars show some sports that are nationally televised but not sure if a particular game would be on.
