Welcome to Ikea... uhhh America


Up really early for our arrival into New York.  Not expected to be as spectacular as in days past - due to the size of modern ships the route is different (still very little clearance under bridges) and relocation of the cruise terminal.  Sadly we are not going to be docking right in the heart of Manhattan
It is about 05:00 and that is sleet


Looking out for the Statue of Liberty - no luck yet...

Just visible in the gloom

The view from our state room while docked at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal - and, yes, there is IKEA again.  I guess the chances are not as slim as might be expected - ports have lots of cheap land, are flat and have good transport connections - onshore and offshore

Spare propeller blades form an "Installation" on the bow

Nearly over...

And now it is - welcome back to the real world
