Newport, Rhode Island Port Reviews

First time here tour was interesting about the lives of the wealthy in the Gilded Age.

Love Rhode Island but unfortunately the tender services took almost 2 hrs to get on land and another 2 hrs to return to the ship which only allowed me 1.5 hrs to visit Rhode Island. Terrible tender services and poor organization of the disembarkment procedure.

Loved this port and my Cliff walk and tour of The Breakers

Be advised the mansion tours now require a Smart Phone APP and ear buds. The description of the mansion excursion with this info was updated after we booked it.

A picturesque town with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. An international boat show was on thereby restricting access to some piers and wharfs.

We did the schooner sail. Lots of fun with nice people and weather.

Port was great with good shops but MSC were so inept getting us back on the ship. Stood in hot sun for over 2 hours waiting for a tender.

There was good shopping close to the port.

We loved seeing all the Gilded Age mansions on our coach guided tour.

Trying to make tender reservations are a joke, the port wouldn’t show on the TV like they said. You had to use a keypad near the elevators, there are only a few. I’ve been on numerous cruises with Royal and carnival and they are very easy to get on a tender. This tender experience stunk.
