New England Cruise.

 We are starting to prepare for our next cruise. This one will be simpler. A New England cruise starting in New York and ending in New York. We are traveling with Bear Cruises.  Which sounds way more interesting than it is. It's just middle-aged men, not really fitting into any other category. We have taken. Bear cruises before; it was good. The other BC guest could have been friendlier. They did warm up near the end of the trip.  The head of the cruise company  was very nice, 

We are traveling on the Norwegian Getaway Cruise ship, as we have never sailed with Norwegian before, so we're unsure what to expect.  The entertainment is devoted to magic and illusion performances.  Holding nearly 4.000 passengers, she is a large ship with 11 bars. 

                                        

 I have most everything I need for the trip. I did purchase a pullover sweater suitable for the dining room. I read where there will be cobblestone streets, so I will be packing my expensive stabilizer walking shoes.  Something for the White Party and the Hawaiian shirt party. As  I have said before, my clothing should do double duty.
