MD_Dan Posted yesterday at 01:26 PM #26 Share Posted yesterday at 01:26 PM Hello neighbor! We'll sail on Symphony again in November. So I'll follow this thread closely. Have a safe drive up I-95 and the Turnpike. I'll save my questions for a few days into the cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted 10 hours ago Author #36 Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) Hello everyone and good morning. Welcome to DAY 1 of “LIVE” from Symphony of the Seas. I am enjoying a freshly brewed cup of delicious coffee at the Courtyard by Marriott in nearby Elizabeth, NJ. I only have about a 20-minute ride to Cape Liberty (Bayonne). I often stay here at this Marriott when I cruise from Cape Liberty. The rooms and lobby are very clean, and the Bistro near the lobby has great coffee and breakfast items. My check-in appointment is for later this morning at 12 to 12:30, and passengers should already be boarding by then. The forecast for today is "Cloudy, and 66F". It seems that will also be the weather for sail away. There is light rain currently, but it should go away later. I still must pack up the “Radio Pressroom”, attach my luggage tags and make sure my documents are handy to show the Terminal Representatives. I can use my Royal App to show my Set Sail Pass, but I would like to have a paper copy as a backup. My brother and his wife will be sailing this week. I have a few friends that I will be meeting on board for Week 2. I will be posting next from Symphony of the Seas later today. Thanks for tuning in. Radio Today is Cruise Day There are several hotels in Elizabeth, NJ that I often stay at when cruising up here. The "Radio Pressroom" must be packed up. My set sail pass is ready! My luggage tags have been attached. It is a short trip over to Cape Liberty. My Itinerary. . Edited 10 hours ago by Radio 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havin'fun Posted 9 hours ago #37 Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Yeah! I needed a Radio cruise journey especially on Symphony.

MD_Dan Posted 2 hours ago #42 Share Posted 2 hours ago OK Radio, I'll start the questions! We've sailed RCL about 12 times but never out of Bayonne. Compare and contrast Bayonne from Florida ports. I suspect - More expensive NY/NJ hotels (although Miami may be higher) - NY vibe is different from a Florida vibe - No outrageous air fare but a reasonable drive. Was parking expensive? - You no doubt sailed out of Baltimore. Is the Statue of Liberty visible? Compare it to sailing past Fort McHenry. - What is happening on the pool deck during the first and last days when temperatures are cooler? And talk to me about that NASA hat! I'm a GSFC employee.
