Going home after a
cruise is never the easiest of days. We were up early and expected
to be off the ship by 8. There was a bit of a delay leaving as they
unloaded the baggage of the 3000 plus passengers but when they
started, all went very quickly. Clearing U.S.
customs was very quick.
Gone are the declarations that we use to fill out! No need to
mention if you were in transit or not. Passports checked against the
database, stamped and away we went. We were on a the bus from
Brooklyn to Newark airport before 9, waving good bye to the statue of
Liberty. The bus headed out of New York, which avoided all the
traffic. By about 10 we were checking in at the
Porter desk and had
arranged an early flight out of New Jersey and connect to an earlier
flight to Windsor. It saved an extra 3 hour wait in the airport!
Of course we enjoyed the wine Porter serves on the flights. We were
watching something on Utube and we almost missed out flight to
Windsor. We heard our names being paged!

Our pick up in
Windsor was waiting with the added bonus of dinner. Where can you
get a service like that! Yvonne and John are the best!
Thus ended our New
York Greenland New York cruise. I think that in the future more
ships will be going to the area. We were the largest ship
(passengers wise) to ever stop in the 3 ports. As cruise lines look
for new destinations, Greenland will grow into a popular destination.
It is exactly what we imaging without the glaciers and the large
icebergs. Those areas are found in the more remote areas further
north and inland.
Princess has changed
many of the familiar things we have come to expect. Whether it was
the number of passengers or the ship itself, the large number of
Elite and others who have sailed on Princess before commented on the
changes and the way things worked out. Until next time!
