Resumption of Actual Cruise

The originally planned cruise itinerary differed from this point by running one day later than the actual cruise. Both itineraries were of 96 day duration, with the original departing from, and arriving back, at New York a day later than the actual cruise.

These extra pages were only inserted to illustrate the difference between the two itineraries, so the actual cruise resumes from here…
