We sailed on RCI on 8/3-8/12 out of Cape Liberty. We are a family of 4 which includes myself, husband and 2 daughters, 12 & 9. This was the first time we ever cruised so we were very excited.

We arrived at Cape Liberty at about 12pm. We checked in quickly and waited for the shuttle to take us to the ship. We were #20 and the shuttles ran fairly quickly after they began running.
