We travelled from Glasgow to Newark on a particularly sunny November day, we were picked up by the hotel courtesy bus, Hilton Penn Station NJ. The hotel was clean and the staff more than helpful. It's also ideally situated to get a train into NYC, 10 minutes and you're in the middle of Manhattan. An added bonus was the weather, sunny and warm for the end of November.
Embarkation:
We were collected at our hotel about 11am and took the short journey to the port, for some reason it was so much faster than last year??!! I'm not complaining. We waited patiently in the queue to check in, painfully slow as some of the 'experienced cruisers' were far from organised.!! How hard is it to check in online and have everything to hand??
