      Still waiting

      January 29, 2014 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ -7 °C

      None of the consecutive cruisers have yet got any proper information on what we're supposed to do for transfers, immigration or luggage etc.
      The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, the buck is being passed with amazing speed.
      We were told we'd be getting a letter to explain everything by midnight last night.
      Well it's now 5.30 in the morning and it still hasn't arrived.
      So I've just been down too the pursers desk and they inform me that we will now be receiving the letter later this morning.
      Just have to wait and see.
      One thing we have been told is the name of the hotel we're going to, Le Parker Meridian on 5th Ave.
      We've Googled it and it looks nice and it's a 5 star, woo hoo!
      That's as long as we actually get off the ship lol.

      Superbowl shocker!

      February 4, 2014 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C

      Not that I follow American football, but the build up to the Super Bowl final in New Jersey was amazing, especially for the two unexpected days we spent in New York.
      Times Square and a chunk of Broadway where blocked off and then filled with outside TV studios and lots of sponsored side shows which ranges from simple kick a field goal, to banks of Xboxes where you could play virtual football games.
      Every big US company you could think of had a booth where you could play stuff or where you could get free memorabilia.
      As far as the game itself went I didn't watch it fully just bits and pieces.
      But Mazen, who is a big American Football supporter went to his cabin to watch the whole thing, that's about 6 hours, including all the build-up to the game.
      I'm afraid he was disappointed by the result as he was rooting for the Denver Broncos, who got hammered by the Seattle Seahawks by 43 - 8, which was a big shock as the Broncos were the strong favourites.
