Having a home in England and a winter home in Florida we always cruise both both ways, in November and April. Usually the cruise lines try to make this repositioning cruise special but from the moment we boarded it had the feeling of a ferry. Food in the self-service and main dining room was of the cheapest quality so much so that one night after two inedible dishes I ordered eggs & chips. Formal night, soy meatballs as a main item!!
The promenade resembled an eastern market every day. The staff must have a pep talk everyday being told to sell, sell, sell.
Internet rates at $27.99 for 24 hours with streaming that did not work, no provision to just spend 10 minutes to check emails.
Got off ship to rental car shuttle
Took a cab to Greenwich Village and walked around
After debacle at immigration by Royal Caribbean we only had a couple of hours. Took a cab to town then back again.
