Having just returned from two weeks
leave following the ICCA Masters
Conference I wanted to share my experience
cruising the New England region.
Accompanied by my better half, we
stayed on board QM2 for a seven night
New York round trip that included calls at
Newport, Boston, Bar Harbour, Saint John
& Halifax.
It is no secret that the Northern
Hemisphere autumn (fall) is the best time
to visit this part of the world and for those
who have not experienced it, I can confirm
that every day we were amazed by
stunning sights as the summer greenery
was going through a range of orange, red
and rustic colour changes.
Not exactly shorts and t-shirt weather
but we were fortunate to spend each day
bathed in crisp blue skies and maximum
daily temperatures up to 15 degrees
Celsius.
QM2 berths at the Brooklyn Cruise
Terminal and the embarkation and
disembarkation process for passengers in
this purpose built facility is first class.
With a few hours to spare between
cruises we headed straight to the 9/11
Memorial site that is now open to the
public although still not completed.
A very moving experience indeed and a
must for anyone visiting New York.
If you are sending client, let them know
to book their entry ticket online in advance.
There is no charge but to control
crowding they do limit the number of
people on the site at one time.
To be continued next week…….
