After sailing all night on Friday night, we returned to New York harbor around 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, where I was able to get this great photo of our Miss Liberty and a full moon setting. Great ending to a great trip!
As most of you know, I love to travel, so when Linda found this cruise and asked if I was interested in going, I said ‘Yes’ before she could finish the sentence. But, as I previously mentioned, I was not that excited about spending a couple of days in New York and this cruise line was not my favorite. Additionally, the northeastern coast of the US held no particular interest for me. As I admitted, I was so wrong about New York and now I can say I was so wrong about the northeast coast; I would highly recommend this tour to all travelers. My favorite part was probably the mansions in Newport, RI – the stories behind them and just how ostentatious they were is amazing! The entertainment on board was marginal, other than the casino where I was a small winner at craps, and where Linda was a big winner on the slot machines. The food, as mentioned, was improved and the staff was excellent, very helpful, friendly and professional.
I recently checked the weather back there and it’s VERY cold, with snow in some places!! We were so fortunate to have such extraordinarily great weather during the whole cruise.
Following are some additional photos from the trip.

Hey Bob, you guys look great. Glad to hear you enjoyed the North East. You did have exceptional weather for this time of year. And yeas even as a Boston fan I can say New York City gets a bad rap. Always have fun when I’m there.
Great to hear from you Carl, hope all is well with you and your family. Yes, I really enjoyed your neck of the woods!!
Thanks so much Bob! I loved your cruise travel log! I’m so happy you and Linda had a great time!
