leetompkins Posted March 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2018 We will be in Newport RI port of call during our Regal Princess Cruise in September. What recommendations do you all have while there regarding trolley tours? We would like to get a feel for the area while in port, especially the famous mansions. Also, can you all provide a any suggestions on good restaurants? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzrbachoua Posted March 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2018 When we went we took the local bus up to the head of the Cliff Walk and then walked along them on our own, then down a couple streets in front and got back on the bus and wandered around the marina area. I don't recall hearing or seeing any trolley tours. There were tours that took you into a couple of the mansions but most did not allow pics...

Ox Fan Cruiser Posted March 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm from RI and just about never go to Newport, so I don't know of any good restaurants. But I do recommend having our "real" lobsters. Not at all like the southern version of lobster. If you want the real New England dinner than get a Lobster & Steamer (Clams) combo.

The cliff walk is a walkway between the Ocean cliff and the Mansions. The Breakers is the mansion that was shown from the water on the old wacko soap opera "Dark Shadows" of the late 1960s.

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 21, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2018 We have enjoyed visiting the Breaker Mansion, doing the Cliff Walk and enjoying the downtown area. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
