Always a silver lining

The two nights in the hotel were, good, after a typical RCCL start, with no proper information about how we were to finance our meals etc.
Eventually we were told to keep all receipts and submit them to the Miami office.
Which is OK but the cruise line really should have supplied the finance up front rather than us having to spend our own money then claim it back.
Anyway that aside the stay in the hotel was good it is a typical New York style hotel, with comfortable if a tad small rooms.
We all actually had a brilliant time in NYC.
Once again Mazens son, Aiman showed us around.
He took us to another brilliant restaurant, this one was in mid town Manhattan, called Hill Country.
A very busy and unusual restaurant, where you order your meat by weight and eat out of the paper it's wrapped in.
I know that doesn't sound that good but it's actually brilliant and the food is amazing and the atmosphere is electric.
So what started out as a disappointment with the cruise being cancelled, ended up being a great couple of days in New York.Read more
