We took an Uber to The Marble Mansion based on a recommendation from a waiter and it was a great recommendation. We would go back to see more mansion and plan to in the near future Read Less

Beautiful port. Easy walking to sights we wanted to see. Cliff Walk is easily accessible. Only about a one and one half walk away. Read Less

We bought a 5 home self-guided walking tour to see the famous and fabulous “Gatsby” era summer homes/mansions and walked the Cliff Walk. Self-paced recorded tour listening devices and headphones furnished at all homes. You can take the City trolley for $1.00 from the dock to get to the homes, or you can take a long walk. They are all together. No Need to go to expense of an excursion. Read Less

WE took the local bus transport to the Mansions and toured two of them on our own Read Less

Took the #67 bus from the Visitor Center and toured Rough Point, Doris Duke's mansion. Walked back down the streets and then over to the Cliff Walk to get back to the pier. Had time to peek at the church where JFK/Jackie were married, then headed back to ship. No time to enjoy lunch at restaurants had wait times. Read Less

I didn't know much about Newport, but the Cliff Walk was gorgeous. We learned a lot of local history just by walking around & reading historical marker signs. The town was adorable. Read Less

Could spend several days here just doing mansion tours. Nice city. Read Less

Nice port, just looked around. Read Less

A small port but we enjoyed a beautiful day. Took a local shuttle bus around town and got off to walk the famous walk along the cliffs and seaside where we enjoyed the mansions of the older day rich (Vanderbilts, etc) and also enjoyed a surprising number of surfers. Read Less

Wonderful downtown, Met with freinds. Read Less

private car, wonderful 3 hour tour, then lunch on our own Read Less

We did the Cliff Walk and the Breakers. It was interesting. Read Less

I’ve been to Newport before and so did not do any excursions. Walked around town after a short tender ride and had a nice lunch. It’s a very walkable town with plenty to see right off the tender even on your own. Historic Trinity Church and it’s tiny old churchyard right across from tender port are open to the public. Lots of nice shops as well. Would recommend walking part of the cliff walk, although we did not on this trip. Note that it’s not near where the tender port is, nor are the mansions. Unless you have a special interest, I would not do more than one mansion as they can be repetitive. Definitely do a guided tour or at least an audio tour for the best experience. Read Less

(long) tender trip - 30 - 40 minutes. nice village many shops to see, few mansions to visit prices vary from 18$ to 35$ . Better do your homework before visiting any mansion. they are reasonable walking distance from the port Read Less

Walked Mansions and Cliff Walk on our own. Read Less

New Port is visitor friendly. Read Less

A lovely, walk-able port. We only waited 10 minutes or so for a tender in the morning, and there was a 20 minute wait for a tender to return to the ship around lunchtime. Read Less

Loved this port. Rode the public bus out to the mansion and cliff walk. Read Less

Extremely difficult tender port. On a 3000+ passenger ship such as Caribbean Princess consider making it an unofficial extra sea day. Read Less

homes of the very rich, excellent lunch , bought separately, but still yhe best on this cruise. Read Less

Because we had to tender and it was foggy we couldn't get off the ship until about 1p.m. This limited the amount of time spent in Newport. We took the local bus to the Forty Steps and walked the cliff walk for about an hour, got back on the bus and back to the tender (at which time the fog had rolled in again). Read Less

Beautiful port! The sailboats in the harbor are amazing and the Breakers/coastline is not to be missed with all the beautiful mansions. Read Less
