Wow! I wake up this morning to find out that my sistah from another mother has snuck one in on us!!! Patti and I are along for the ride. The timing is perfect since we will be back on the Venezia for another B2B the end of August. Carry on my dear! 😀

Welcome fam! Glad to have you and Mrs. Patti aboard!🥰🥰🥰 Hopefully I will be done with this review before you leave in August! 😜😃😃

Yay!  Another Willdra review.  Hooked, as usual.  Can't wait to read the rest of NY part, and the best is yet to come on the cruise!

Thank you for the confidence! 😍😍😍

Welcome back, Willdra! I always look forward to following your trips, and this one is off to a great start. If you ever get back to Manhattan, I recommend Rise NY. It's a cool spot with some history of the city that ends with a ride similar to Disney's Soarin. I think it may be up your alley! Thanks again for writing another wonderful trip report ❤️⚓️

Thank you for that tip! I will add Rise to my list of NY activities for next time. Knowing W and I, there will be a”next time”. 😆

I have already laughed out loud several times causing my DH to look at me asking what? I told him he wouldn’t understand. The conductor line put me over the top! Thanks for taking us along again.

Thanks for joining and laughing with me! 😂

I was supposed to be taking a shower and getting ready for Father’s Day but told hubby it had to wait, and instead I got my reading glasses and settled in for 2 pages of fabulousness. Can’t wait for the rest!! 

I’m sorry to your hubby if you were slightly tardy yesterday! This really had me laughing cuz I would do the same thing to W! 😂😂😂

i lived and worked in new york for the first half of my life and there is nothing that is more exhilerating than see it through a tourists eyes!!  we take allot for granted because we live there and see it all the time but seeing it through your eyes makes it so much better.

thank you for doing this!!

(btw,  i used to go to the empire state building every day to meet my cousin for lunch, she worked on the 6th floor, i never went to the 86 floor until we had out of twon guests that wanted to go!! that is what i mean by we take it for granted!!)

hugs from texas

Hey Neighbor, I'm from the Atlanta Metro area as well.  I sailed out of NY this past February.  Your post brings back fond memories.🥰

Hey homie! It was an adventure for real! Now I understand some of the differences between here and there so I can speak with a little more intel when talking to some of my peers from the North. 😉 😃

[princess76021]

one more thing,  about the subway system, 

that is how i met my husband!!

he fell on my lap (literally) after a few not so nice words we started to talk nice

after 1 1/2 years we were married!  53 years the day before he passed.

love the subway for that!!

hugs from texas

Hi Wildra-I am enjoying your review with the info of your precruise stay in NYC. I am a native New Yorker-born and lived in the borough of Queens, and know “the City” like the back of my hand.

My mother started taking me into the City when I was about three for shopping trips and shows at Radio City.

I am impressed that you (safely)managed the subway system!

Glad you got to the Empire State Building and saw the Statue of Liberty with a ride on the ferry and saw a Bdwy play.All true NYC experiences!

I am looking forward to reading about how you and W spent the next day of your visit.

Oh, and your cruise review will be interesting to read too. 😉 

MJ🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much!😃 I’m looking back at the pictures and I still can’t believe we did all of that! 

[#Bluesea]

Enjoying your review! Great summer read!!! Thanks for your time to bring it to us!!!
