Getting Underway

We caught a taxi from the Hampton Inn Times Square North to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal.

Check-in was pretty uneventful, and we were able to go directly to our stateroom, because the ship had a 4-day, guest-free transit from Florida. The crew had a chance for good sleep and relaxation to start their Transatlantic transit and European season. It will be a long time before she's back in The States.

We have an Ocean+Lifeboat View stateroom near O'Sheehan's. Great room- and we can hear the Atrium music perfectly in our room.

The views at sailaway were beautiful- the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the New York Skyline, with the Staten Island Ferry.

We had dinner at Los Lobos- the Mexican specialty restaurant. Amazing! Delicious! Really, really good.Read more
