"Surfer E2468" wrote in message ... SUE: Hope he is wrong about another snow storm brewing,my husband said if the roads are too bad when it is time for us to go to cape liberty we will just cancel our cruise and lose our money,not worth risking losing our lives over. He said the money is gone wether we go or not. cruise lover(~~~~~) . That's why you head for the port at least one day in day in advance, Or better yet you don't sail from NYC in the middle of the winter. You waste the first few days and last few anyway do to poor weather. Need to sail from FLA or further south. Ron |

all flightswere cancelled,and we do not think it necessary to go to cape liberty a day ahead of time since we live only an hours drive from our town. cruise lover(~~~~~) .. |

No snow here! Glad we missed this one. You are very lucky. We shovelled by our cars yesterday afternoon. Now they are both buried to above the tires. I have lived my whole life in an area with snowy winters, but I have never seen anything like this. And it's still snowing, though much more lightly and without the gale force winds from last night. Jeff, it's called, "global warming!" ;-) Seriously, I really feel sorry for all those facing these horrible winter storms. Not by any means comparing, but Texas has been the coldest this year than it ever has been to my memory. We even had a few snow flakes that did not stick! We usually are planting flowers for spring and summer long before this. I bought some geraniums today and have to keep them indoors until I know there will be no more freezes sneaking up on us. --Jean---wondering where Al Gore is hiding these days! |

I hope this is our last snow for this winter,enough is enough,do not want it to be snowy when we leave for cape liberty 3/7/10 Not too worried about snow on the road,they do a good job here in jersey,but worry about the parking lot we have to use by the terminal,don't know if they clear it or not. We have had a HUGE snowstorm over st.patricks day,with drifting up to 8 ft. Just got a phone call from some friends who are on teh Explorer of the Seas. They managed to get to NJ mid-day yesterday and some got the last flight in from Chicago yesterday afternoon. The ship was a bit late getting to the pier this morning and shuttle service from their hotel to the ship was bad... mostly because of the weather. They got on the ship at 4 PM and the ship left port as scheduled at 5 PM. They say it is too early to say, but it seems to them that the ship isn't full. This morning I was talking with RCL and they tole me that they were having a lot of problems trying to help people get to the ship. It isn't often you get to sail on a cruise when the decks are covered in snow. I can't wait to see the pictures. -- George Leppla Countryside Travel http://www.CruiseMaster.com Blog http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/my_weblog/ Facebook http://www.facebook.com/CruiseMaster |

We got approximately 9 inches earlier this week of wet heavy snow. I'm estimating we got about two feet more. Luckily, this was the light fluffy variety of snow. And with snow drifts, the cars were almost buried. Jeff, at least up your way they have the equipement and know how to clear the roads. Here in my small town in South Jersey, they have no clue and don't have the equipement needed for a 20 inch storm. At least this storm wasn't bad, maybe 6 inches most. sue |

What about that Inside Passage cruise you booked us on for only $30 pp per night? You didn't tell me it was in January and when I went out on the balcony to have a drink, I almost killed myself on the snow and ice. At least my drink stayed nice and cold.grin -- Nonny Luxury cars now offer a great seating option for politicians. These seats blow heated air onto their backside in the winter and cooled air in the summer. If sold to voters, though, the car seats are modified to just blow smoke up the voter's rump year-round |

Well, at least they have a few days to get them to meet the ship at the first port. Bill |
