Hi George,
My concerns about booking a cruise out of NY/NJ in the winter time, is
being able to drive to the ship if we have a bad storm. Also coming
back from the cruise and finding my car buried under the snow.lol If I
have made it to the ship and it is delayed in sailing, I couldn't care
less.lol
