Embarkation at Cape Liberty

Ready to board the Royal Caribbean Odyssey of the Seas after staying in Bayonne, NJ in a cute little row house for the night.

The taxi ride here was nuts. NUTS. The worst ride of my life and I've taken taxis in Naples. I could barely walk afterwards I was so nauseated. Willow would have died. We flew in to JFK because it was direct but I would figure out a different transportation option in the future. Fortunately, we fly out of Newark.

We paid for The Key which got us a host of benefits on the ship. From the time we got to the port (with a wonderful taxi driver this time!) we were on the ship within 20 min or less and at a special lunch.

Beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline today with a snow storm about to arrive just after we leave. Looking forward to warmer climes!Read more
