First, my apologizes for not being able to attend the Cruise Critic meeting on Nov 22 onboard. Family obligations prevailed.
Our Family of 20; 11 from upstate NY and 9 from London all had a Fantastic voyage onboard the QM2.
PRECRUISE: Family from London flew in on Thursday Nov 20 and stayed at the Newark Crowne Plaza (formerly Four Points by Sheraton). They had a comfortable stay. Rooms had been recently renovated. The hotel offers a complimentary airport shuttle that runs continuously every 20 minutes. Online rates were under $120.00 per night. The rest of us drove down on Friday Nov 21 and picked up the family in Newark.
