Ah. Totally understand.
Bermuda is a thing.
My Inlaws took a cruise out of brooklyn all up the NE seaboard into Canada and IIRC Greenland. It’s been a few years so I might be misremembering.
Nice; sounds like a nice trip!
Bayonne NJ within the past few years started accommodating these ships because they had a port already, and NYC is a mess for getting in and out for the cruises. We’ve dropped people off and picked them up in NYC, and the congestion was horrible - on weekend mornings! I wish they’d used Bayonne instead; much more accessible.
I have the same experience with airports; dropping people off/picking them up at Kennedy is a pain, while Newark is much easier (as long as it isn’t rush hour). Even so, they’ve considered adding a third international airport in the area; one site considered was too far out (the former Stewart Air Force Base in Newburgh NY - a couple of hours north along the Hudson River),
