About Me - Nick

I have been interested in ships and the cruise industry since the age of 8.

I have been on over 20 cruises and have visited many islands in the Caribbean, as  well as the Bahamas and Bermuda.

My friends and colleagues are impressed with my knowledge and value my recommendations.

I am hoping, through this blog to be able to share my knowledge, cruise experiences, and the latest cruise news with my fellow cruise enthusiasts.

As mentioned in my previous blog article, this Sunday turned in to a relatively nice day with periods of  torrential rain, other time great, bright sunshine with amazing white clouds. As usual I looked for a vantage point to photograph the cruise ships departing / arriving and chose Liberty State Park in New Jersey. Liberty State Park offers the opportunity to take great photos of the New York Skyline in the late afternoon. Liberty State Park is one of two locations in the port, where visitors can board a ferry to the State of Liberty and/or Ellis Island. (The second embarkation point for Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island Ferries is Battery Park in Lower Manhattan).
