We chose the 7 Nights Fall's Crimson Foliage cruise to see the beautiful foliage that the NE is famous for having. There was none. Other than that, it was a wonderful cruise. I'll just have to go back another time for the foliage.
We booked the pre-cruise hotel and land program. We were met at the airport and driven to our hotel which was in the Times Square area. There was a concierge from Crystal at the hotel to answer any questions and help in any way. We were met the next day and taken by bus to the cruise terminal. Great hotel. Good service.
Embarkation was fairly easy. Two larger cruise ships were also embarking that day so the terminal was a mess. Crystal had representatives directing us and it went well.
Loved the mansion tour at Breakers.
We walked into the shopping area after the bus took us out of the port area.
Our hotel was close enough to walk to lots of attractions. We were in the theater district, restaurant row, and Times Square area.
