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.\u00a0 Great ending to a great trip!<\/p>\n

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 \u2018Yes\u2019 before she could finish the sentence.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Additionally, the northeastern coast of the US held no particular interest for me.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 My favorite part was probably the mansions in Newport, RI \u2013 the stories behind them and just how ostentatious they were is amazing!\u00a0 The entertainment on board was marginal, other than the casino<\/strong> where I was a small winner at craps, and where Linda was a big winner on the slot machines.\u00a0 The food, as mentioned, was improved and the staff was excellent, very helpful, friendly and professional.<\/p>\n

I recently checked the weather back there and it\u2019s VERY cold, with snow in some places!!\u00a0 We were so fortunate to have such extraordinarily great weather during the whole cruise.<\/p>\n

Following are some additional photos from the trip.<\/p>\n
