We left out of Newark, New Jersey and cruised for about 3 days before arriving at our first island. The first day the seas was really rocky from the storms on the east coast, we had winds up to 120 mph. the ship was rocking really hard. We each had patches behind our ears which really helped, none of us got sick, when there were people getting sick all around us. Once we hit the calm waters we had a great time. The food was all very good, the shows great and the islands was nice. Didn't do much on the islands except shop. Than we hit rocky seas again on our way back, another storm off the coast of the Carolinas. Would I cruise again yes, but I would travel to Florida and cruise out of Florida. We returned home today around 1:00pm to find about 4-5 feet of snow in our driveway. The East Coast had 2 big snow storms this past week, which we missed both, that was nice but now we have to dig out. Anyway it's good to be home.
