The best feeling in the world. Walking up that ramp to load the ship😊
Yes it is!
Thank you very much for this video. We will be cruising out of Norfolk for the first time in October. I feel much more comfortable seeing the whole process and time line.
i always leave from Mia or port Canaveral . Thinking about leaving from Norfolk next year. thanks for sharing
Have fun!
This is really going to make me look dumb. I live in Suffolk Va. Moved here from Ohio about 3 years ago. I go on a cruise once a year and fly to Miami and I never knew you can book a cruise out of Norfolk. Lolol. Glad I came across your channel. Going to save me alot of money. Thank you.
Magic was good. I enjoyed driving the 2.5 hours. Check out Baltimore and Charleston too. Further but drivable.
Magic just started up sailing out of Norfolk after 2 years.
Try parking at the Norfolk airport and catch transportation from there to and from the cruise terminal. I personally believe that airport parking is more secure and there should be professional transportation options to and from there to the cruise terminal...
New subscriber... great video … We did a back to back on May 15 and then May 21 sailing… We were very fortunate because we live in Virginia Beach and we were able to take an Uber… Lines were still long waiting to get into the terminal… But at least we did not have to do the parking lot or anything… Looking forward to more videos🛳
Yeah I will go again but using an alternative parking lot.thanks for adding me
we took our first cruise on the magic out of norfolk last week and had a great time the loading and unloading was a little bit of a cluster but for the most part it went very smooth
Without the parking, i would be ok. Like I said we will probably go again just different arrangements for parking.
Thanks for the vid.😊 I am very happy that you seemed ti be enjoying yourselves while making the most of the inconveniences. I have only ever sailed Disney... here, everything was different and i'm not here for it. You were great with being optimistic, cheerful, grateful and happy though. This is the first I have seen of other port facilities and boarding up close of other Cruiselines.😂 The nerve of them not announcing the arrival of your party with no 🎉and applause and 😢 no greeting committee and the literal performance of the song and dance by the Captain himself to welcome you onboard...😮 no grand Atrium... i can't do it😂 Mouse extortion isn't that bad hmmm😝.. there's alot included in the higher costs on the Cruiseline.😏😌
Out of 24 cruises, this was the worse and not normal. Mostly due to parking. Cruise itself was very good. Check out my other Magic videos to see more outside of Disney
Ok. I will. You are wonderful.
Seems similar to the NYC Manhattan Cruise Port mess I’ve been hearing about! (I’m going on NCL Getaway in September.) Hope you enjoyed the cruise!🌞
Never went out of Manhattan. Did go out of Red Hook in NY. No problem
I live in Richmond and the first cruise I took was in Norfolk on Carnival triumph. I remember the line being long and I asked a porter at the port " is the lines like this at all ports? " He told me no, only here because you can't park at the port.
Yeah . Carnival and Norfolk have to work this out. And now the breaking and "accident" damage from this week is to much.
The May 21 problem was that the shuttle busses bringing people back to the parking lot returning from a cruisr were blocked by traffic. Finally the police stopped traffic so busses could get back into the parking lot. Thus, they could not load people to embark.
I was on the next cruise. Unfortunately this happened most weeks. Then they have break ins and vandalism. I hoping the City works together with Carnival to get better parking lot.
How much was parking at that lot you guys got the shuttle??
$15 a day
Do you happen to know what time they allow people to start entering Cedar Grove lot on embarkation day?
I believe it was app 930
If you are in a suite do you
Have as many problems with priority boarding?
No idea. Was in oceanview. But my understanding the people in the fall had easier time especially with parking.
How do they do embarking with the handicapped like me who has a mobility scooter?
I was told there are handicap busses
I did not see one, but people were saying that people who did need were using to avoid the lines. I do not recommend this lot at all. Check out my 411 video for some ideas. Link in description. Also this lot had problems with crashes and break ins this week.
You might want to consider parking in a close by lot and scroll down to the port. In my 411 video. I do mention a few.
Sorry you had a bad experience but you have some good ideas on how to make things better.
I did an update. People who have cruised in last few weeks have stated it is better.
I read 1 bag per person, will you explain.
Sorry. I don't understand. No one questions the # of bags. The porter just takes.
I have personally heard three nightmare stories about the Norfolk port.
They had break ins and crashes this week. Check out my 411 video in the description for suggestions for alternatives.
wife has a ecart does the buses from the parking lot have the ability to transport it?
Is that a scooter/wheelchair? I saw people in wheelchairs using the bus.
@@CruisingtheworldwithJackie scooter
@@CruisingtheworldwithJackie scooter. in the past places we have been the buss has a under storage area. Hoping they have that avail for scooter.
@@hrdcore5757 yes they have under storage. That is where they put luggage. Another option would be drop her off first
Delaware people drive there too. 😀
Did you have a great cruise?
How much was parking?
15 a night
We always skip the pictures 📸
I feel bad, but I know not getting them
Watch the latest th-cam.com/video/CdXeWi5g_yQ/w-d-xo.html
sounds like norfork is one of the worst places to cruise.
People who cruised in fall said it was much better. The cruise itself was very good.
@@CruisingtheworldwithJackie unfortunely I go in june. I suspect heavy traffic. Also wat to clarify they will take baggage from parking lot to ship.
@@hrdcore5757 yes they take your baggage. They take and you don't have to worry about it.
Why are you there at 11am. Ain’t parking lot , baby !!!!
Check out at hotel forced us to be there 11am. People that came hour after waited 4 hours.
Won’t sail out of Norfolk for sure
Unfortunately we also had a nightmare in regards to embarkation on the Magic going out June 4, 2022. I will say I spoke to quite a few people who had arrived much earlier than their scheduled embarkation time trying to get on a little quicker. Due to the arrangement at this port, they must have all passengers follow those posted embarkation times or it really presents a problem. I arrived with my family to the lot at 11:30am (our scheduled arrival time was 11:30-12:00). However, the line just to get on the lot was over an hour wait and over a block long out on the street. Once on the lot, it was another hour standing in the hot sun before we could get onto the shuttle busses. After we got to the terminal it was another 1:45 - 2hr before we got to board, all of which was standing and a great deal of it in the sun outside. We finally got on board at 4:30pm. I was told there was issues getting the returning passengers off as fast as they would have liked, but I do think a great deal of the crowded waiting was due to folks not following the arrival schedule shown on their boarding passes. It's nice you were able to get on a bit earlier, but for those who followed the directions, it became a disaster. No disrespect, just pointing out why following the guidelines is so important (especially at this port). As usual, the onboard crew more than made up for the nightmarish beginning.
@@jamesgayheart7941 None taken. We intended to just get to port and walk around and explore till our time, but when we got there they told us they were boarding everyone. We will not use the lot next time and it will be much better. No one should use parking until they get the security issues fixed.
You’re making suggestions as if you think the port authorities have any adult supervision! 🤯🤯🤬🤬. WORST embark EVER [this was my 54th cruise!]. So glad we didn’t use the ‘secure’ parking provided by the city!
Lol. I always assume people have common sense. That is what happens when you assume. Lol. Did you go in spring or just in fall? People are posting fall was better but not sure. I subscribed to your channel.
@@CruisingtheworldwithJackie Ours was a B2B in June…nice once we got onboard, but then we had to disembark/re-embark between sailings, which was an uncoordinated pain!
@@mlferg We had great time once on board. People are reporting they got their act together in Oct.
@@CruisingtheworldwithJackie they’ve added a lot of cruises for next year, so I certainly hope so. It’s a 20 minute drive from home, compared to 5 hours to Baltimore, 9 to Jax, 12 to Cape Canaveral. Certainly a plus!
@@mlferg yes. I was happy to see that. We are 2 hours away across the bridge tunnel
Thank you very much for this video. We will be cruising out of Norfolk for the first time in October. I feel much more comfortable seeing the whole process and time line.
How was it? Hearing it was better.
