Arrival

Newsletter Front

The ship waited outside the channel until 7:00 p.m., the proceeded in wit a pilot. Two tugs joined us and turned the ship around before we backed into the dock at Terminal 29.

Customs

Newsletter Back

Since I bought an expensive watch onboard, I declared it to the Customs agents, who set up shop in the Card Room on Deck 6. After my $800 exemption, I paid a $62.50 fee (with cash since they did not accept credit cards).

Disembarking the Ship

Passengers are issued color codes that match tags on their luggage, according to their departure time. They ask that you vacate your cabin by 8:00 a.m. and wait in a public room until your color code is called. Luckily, mine was called first, at about (9:14 a.m.). My friend Lauren picked me up at the airport, and we went out for breakfast.

Riverwalk and Indigo's

Since the restaurants did not open in the Riverfront until 11:00 a.m., we walked down to the Indigo restaurant for breakfast.

Northwest Check-in at the Airport

I did the E-First check-in, and got my tickets in about two minutes. The Northwest system is fast and efficient.

WorldClubs

After a security check, I proceeded to the WorldClubs host partner, the Continental Room which was equally as nice as the WorldClubs, but on a smaller scale.

End of Cruise Surprise

I was very unpleasantly surprised to see a $4,799.06 charge which wasn't mine from the Navigator when I returned. Not only were my stateroom charges on my VISA bill, but so were somebody else's. It took more than a day to clear up the erroneous charge. For those who might have this problem in the future, the Accounting Department at Radisson Seven Seas is Tel: 800-490-4216.
