I am flying in to LaGuardia.  So, that’s where I’m being picked up.

Have a pleasant, safe and on-time flight into LGA tomorrow by Delta ... and a prompt pickup by SS.  Ground transportation area is just outside at Terminal C/D - it's a huge area, often with hundreds of for-hired, car services & black cars/limos waiting + assorted shuttles, drivers looking for their riders and vice versa.  Just be prepared and have their local/toll-free # handy (which I'm sure you do ...)  

 

Not merely doubled-parked but triple-parked in this holding/staging & waiting/pick-up area as I passed by on our city bus ... over to Hertz.  

 

Have a wonderful cruise, will be following along - we decided to not go on this last minute, despite great prices, promo & deals, etc.

Thanks, Henry.  That’s the plan.

 

Good thing I just did a review of my paperwork.  It’s GOAIRLINK for the ride from LaGuardia, not Super Shuttle (who’s giving me a ride from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal to EWR) who’s transporting me after the cruise.

Thank You!  I'm looking forward to it.

 

Cruise laundry done.  Packing my "stuff" in compression bags to stick in the rollaboard.  Taking a lunch break.  Cranked music on the old stereo to set the mood....

The unlimited adults beverage package shall delay reality for at least one more week. Then, we can negotiate whether to dabble in such an unpleasant concept.

Safe travels and Bon Voyage to all of the 10/30 cruisers.

Dan, it's a beautiful, sunny morning in NY.  FlightAware app showed your DL bird landed early ... should be riding Go Airlink's shuttle van by now & on the way - traffic flowing just fine per "Waze" in the area.  

 

Wishing you an excellent cruise ahead and bon voyage ... someone else we know (his 7th cruise since last November) also onboard, surely will get lots of great reporting.  Hurry as they started boarding but you should be fine whenever you get dropped off.

Thanks…GOAIRLINK was a no show, but dropped a 10 spot on the guy loading the NCL bus for

a seat.  Will deal with GOAIRLINK LATER.

 

For now, getting ready to board.

Lots of CruiseCritic folks going on this cruise together. Hope you all get a chance to meetup and share some beverages as well as stories. Wishing all of you the best cruise ever. 

 

Bon Voyage!
