"LIVE" From Explorer of the Seas-9/11/2010 Bermuda

[time4me2fly]

Radio - looking forward to your Live cruise review. This is an itinerary that I haven't tried, yet. Maybe you will be able to convince me to give it a try. Happy sailing!

[Radio]

Hello everyone. . . I grabbed a bite to eat, and went over to Liberty Park. I thought it would be nice to take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty from Liberty Park.

 

I guess I should have read the brochure that I brought with me. . . The last Ferry leaves for Ellis Island, and the Statue at 2:30. . . Grrrr. . .

 

Oh well, I was still able to get a few pics while I was there. I should have stayed a little longer, and could have taken some better pics of the Twin Tower Lights about an hour later. I hung out there for a while, but decided to go over to the 911 Memorial over near Cape Liberty.

 

The lights were lit up, and it looked beautiful. There were a lot of photographers there as well thinking the same thing.

 

I may try to go over early tomorrow to visit Ellis Island and Lady Liberty.

 

Here are a few pics from the day. . . Many more pics will be posted tomorrow, because. . . Well. . . Tomorrow is Cruise Day !

 

Thanks for tuning in !

I'd love to get your opinion on the Explorer MDR food. I did the same trip as you last month and was very disappointed in the quality of the food. Gone down IMO

Yes, Meg. . . I talked to a lot of passengers that were staying here as well.

 

I'll be leaving for the pier in about an hour. . . I think there is a Starbucks at a shopping center very close to Cape Liberty. Hm m m. . .

 

A man has to have his priorities, right ? :o

 

My next post will be from Cape Liberty :rolleyes:
