New York And Home


     Typical final day today. Up early and down to breakfast in the Dining room .
Statue Of Liberty
We needed to clear our room by 8 and we had an 8:30 departure. I finally had a chance to get outside as the day was warm and sunny, From where we were docked we could see the Statue of Liberty and the downtown core with the rebuilt Trade Centre. We were ashore, found our luggage, cleared U.S. Immigration in no time, found our bus and were seated for our transfer to La Guardia airport all within about 30 minutes. The bus driver was a hoot. He gave us a running commentary on everything happening in
Downtown Core
Brooklyn.
     La Guardia is an old style airport. We suppose to take a late afternoon flight but we were at the airport so early that we were about to jump ahead 2 flights and left on the late morning hop to Toronto. That saved about 7 hours of waiting which is very appreciated.
    So that ends cruise 23 on Princess. The Regal Princess is a very clean modern ship. We found the crew to be very happy and I think that is a reflection of the attitude that Captain Tracey has. He always gave the noon report and went far beyond what we have seen in the past in terms of communicating with the passengers. We would gladly sail on the Regal again. We have a few ideas about a future cruise (Greenland anyone?) but that is in the future. Cheers!
