Travelling to the pier we experienced a slight backup of traffic prior to the luggage drop point. (3 steps- drop off luggage, park, board). Parking at Cape Liberty for the 5 day cruise was $100. Parking is right by the terminal. Very Nice set up. Checking into the cruise was easy, great staff there to guide you thru the process. We had to wait a bit due to the Coast Guard Drill to complete, but overall not bad at all. (We arrived around 1130 am and was on board by 1230 pm, with a 15 min traffic and I would say 20 min Coast Guard wait. If not for those small delays, boarding would have taken less than half an hour)

Once on board, we went to the Windjammer and had Lunch. We then went thru our emergency drills and mustered. We then set sail.

The cruise was wonderful. We both loved it, but this is a review so I am going to share my thoughts on what we did. Read more
