My recent cruise on the NCL Escape out of the New York pier, on a beautiful day, offered a great view in and out.

And we were off to two days at sea before the first port of San Juan Puerto Rico.

The next port is St. Maarten

As you approach these ports you will notice they tend to look alike. There are hills in the background, several boat basins and not to mention the beautiful turquoise water. Having been to all the ports before, this cruise was for total relaxation and enjoyment of the ship’s amenities.

The Food Republic restaurant is one of the specialty restaurants on the NCL escape. It is fusion restaurant that operates different from a traditional restaurant. You select and order your meal on a tablet and whichever of your choices is done first is brought to the table. An interesting experience with a mixed choice of dishes.

Hopefully this gives a snapshot of my cruise. Let me share a little view of returning to the New York port.

The Circle Line is a staple boat tour leaving out of the New York harbor that sails on the Hudson River referred to in Sinatra’s song New York New York.

Well that’s it folks until next time.
