(A blurry view of the Statue of Liberty at 4:30 am)
We had a busy morning. Both of us woke up around 4 am, just after the ship passed under the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge. This was fortunate, as RQS wanted to try and get a shot of the statue from our balcony. However, the above photo was the best shot from both of our phones, as our phones were not equipped to capture low light images from a moving ship.
When we reached the pier, we got ready to leave the cabin for the last time - we showered, dressed, packed our carry-on bags, and checked the room for forgotten things before going to breakfast. Breakfast was the worst meal we had on the ship, as both service was very slow and the quality of the eggs were bad enough for us to order freshly fried eggs. Just before our replacement eggs were delivered, our luggage tag color was called, and we proceeded off the ship.
Using a cane off the ship had an advantage for us, as we were routed to a priority path to reach our luggage. Once in the luggage pick up area, we were directed to the small area where both our bags were stored. And then, it was a short trip through the customs stations then to the cabs waiting across from the cruise terminal.
We were at Grand Central in less than 15 minutes, and home by 10:15 am. Finally, our Bermuda trip was at an end. Both of us are now ready to take another cruise - and we just got off the ship! Now back to our regularly scheduled lives.
