Pre-Cruise Activities

For this cruise, we are not planning specialized group excursions for New York/New Jersey, but here's a list of some things we have seen that may spark some ideas of your own:

• One World Trade Center Observatory - watch New York grow up through the years as you ride the elevator and then see the amazing skyline view.
• 9/11 Memorial - While the memorial is free to the public, the museum does have a fee. The museum is very comprehensive.
• Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island - See the history of immigration in the US.
• The Guggenheim - For the art lovers
• Central Park - Enjoy a nice walk through one of the most famous parks in the US
• (And yes, there is Broadway...and more Broadway, and Off-Broadway...)

Group-Planned Shore Excursions

For our smaller group on this sailing I'm inclined to just say that everyone find something that interests you and we'll share experiences once we get back onboard together. Feel free to discuss in [our thread on BGG](Link TBD) our private Facebook Group or our Discord Server.

I'll list here the excursions Kristine and I have booked if you want to join us. (The links go to the listings on Royal Caribbean, but you may need to be logged in to view them)

• Boston - A Revolutionary Experience-Lexington and Concord
• Sydney, NS - Membertou Medicine Walk and Culinary Experience
• Halifax, NS - Panoramic Halifax and Seafood Tasting

For the other ports, we are likely to just get off the ship and go on walk-about. Sometimes the best experiences come from opening yourself up to random surprises

Kristine and I have visited some of these areas before and have good memories of some other excursions/trips and if you are looking for some really inexpensive experiences, we have the following recommendations

Boston

• The Freedom Trail - Get the app ($10), walk the trail at your own pace (2.5 miles end to end)

Halifax

• Walk to Halifax Citadel National Historic Site - Historic Fort - about $15 per person, if you arrive before noon, you might get to see the cannon go off
• Public Gardens - Beautiful botanic gardens - FREE
• The Board Room Game Cafe - One of the better BoardGame Cafe's we've ever seen. Large library complete with teachers.
